Travel Pillowcases!
I made these great travel pillowcases
last night for Sophie's siblings:
Charlie, Rachel and Lauren.
I gave the pillows and Sophie's Quilt to them today,
and I know they will all be well loved!!
A special thanks to Claire and Lynn
at Mouse Creek Quilts for helping me find
great fabrics to complete the pillowcases!

Inspiration is everywhere!
I apologize for the blurriness, it was taken with my cellphone.
Wouldn't this make a fabulous quilt??
It is the carpet at the casino
at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas!!!

Sophie's quilt completed!!
I blogged about this quilt back in April.
I needed to machine quilt and bind it,
but I was waiting to get my Sew Steady
extension table.
I quilted it about a week ago, then realized
I was short on the brown fabric
I wanted to use for binding.
I had originally bought it in Lancaster, PA.
A quick internet search and I discovered
had it in stock, and we could easily stop there
on our way home from the Philadelphia airport.
I called, and they set aside what I needed.
I stopped in Saturday, and discovered
that it was a terrific bustling shop, with
a great selection and helpful staff.
I will be bringing it tomorrow,
when I have lunch with Sophie's mom, my cousin Lisa!
Is it just me?
Or does this remind you of selvages?
It is an advertisement for the new City Center Complex.
I saw it at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.
I saw it last year as well, and
thought the same thing then!

Back to reality!
Stayed overnight in the Philadelphia airport Hampton Inn
since our flight arrived at 1 AM.
We picked up Babe from the kennel,
and are settling back in today,
We even went to a graduation party!
More about our wonderful trip
(including 3 quilt stores!)
starting tomorrow!

After!
My husband and a friend
carried out the sofa today.
A few things remain in the
room to be cleared out shortly.
My husband and I are headed
to Las Vegas for a few days
to celebrate (early) our 25th anniversary!
It is August 18th.
While I'm away, I will post pictures
of more of the fabrics I got at J & O!

Thought for the day!
The best thing about a holiday falling on a
Sunday is having Monday off!!!!
Swimming all day today, then
saw amazing fireworks tonight!!

Happy 4th of July!
Wishing all who celebrate
wonderful holiday!
We have a busy weekend planned
with sun, friends and fun!
My kids have arrived and settled
into their program.
When I spoke to my daughter yesterday.
she said " Mom, today was AMAZING"
Totally worth every penny to send them!!!

First steps!
A new chair for the new sewing room!!
The one pictured is brown,
but mine is black.
I have a sectional sofa to get rid of,
since Babe, our lab, has pretty
much destroyed most of the cushions.
I thought about recovering it in
selvages, but even I have a limit!
One small tear, and the rest is history!
I made arrangements to
have the sofa picked up July 13th
thru bulk pickup by our township
Dept of Public Works.
At least I don't have to pay to get it taken away :)
