We had a virtual feast! JUST LOOK AT ALL OF THIS FOOD!
Today we enjoyed a festive SIT N STITCH at my FAVORITE QUILT STORE – Quilter’s Corner in Midlothian, VA!

And I think that the coconut cream pie was a big hit – I almost didn’t get a picture of it before it was gone! Mary did a GREAT JOB! YUM….
Mary's Coconut Cream Pie was a HIT!
And speaking of Mary – look what a great job she did bidding for me at the THIMBLEBERRIES AUCTION – I got the new Moda Mary Engelbreit’s Baskets of Flowers Jelly Roll with my THIMBLEBERRY BUCKS. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Come on now, don’t you ALL want to join in on the Thimbleberries Club for 2009!

Besides eating and talking – we also did some very QUILTY THINGS! Sheddy inspired us to make this SCRAPPY STARS QUILT…..isn’t it cute? OK so now I have my 4th of July quilt planned (goodness 2009 isn’t even here yet and I have Mark Lipinski’s POINT ME HOME QUILT on my list too, as well as the Moda Selvages, Thimbleberries 2009, Quilters Corners BOM and 30’s Club at Quilter’s Corner!!!….I am counting – that makes 6 plus my 6 for the UFO 2009 Challenge…..am I having fun yet, or what!)
Sheddy and her Scrappy Stars Blocks
Sheddy also taught us to make SCRUBBIES – and she had a very clever way of doing a TOM SAWYER STYLE demo and I fell for it. Actually it was fun to scrunch up the layers of netting! HM….maybe if I start now I can make Christmas presents for NEXT YEAR! LOL
Sheddy Made Scrubbies that were FABULOUS
Look what else Sheddy made…….it is a Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville pattern – MY BLUE HEAVEN in 30’s fabrics. I am in LOVE WITH THIS ONE…..OK that makes another one on my TO DO LIST for 2009!

Well, while I am on the topic of Sheddy – she also put together two baby quilts……now is this AMAZING OR WHAT! Marla took a break from working on her Egg Money and Thyme to Water Quilts to help Sheddy with her SHOW AND TELL!

Norma came by for our luncheon – and my goodness, would you look at her SHOW AND TELL – a Cathedral Window – all done by hand.

And I am so excited – I got a picture of SUSAN (owner of Quilter’s Corner ) helping Sheddy sew her baby quilt together!!
Susan joined in the fun today!
The grand stand event at the end of the day was the emergence of little DOOGIE – Carl and Ginger’s new baby…….isn’t this a cute family!
Doogie and His New Family
OMG!!! I want to hit Norma over the head (not kll her, just slow her down a little ) while I steal her out-of-this-world-amazing Cathedral Windows quilt. My heart skipped a beat when I saw it!
