Junking about

Well, I have never stopped, just haven't posted about it lately.  Here are some of my latest finds.  

Rainy Weekend - Good to be inside

Take a look at this weeks Show n Tell and projects in the works..........how lucky I am to see all this stuff every weekend. 








What a stunner this quilt was.  Take a look at the quilting on this.
Pin cushion of the week has to be this pumpkin.  So cute.

These cute little girls were appearing 'hidden' in plain view all over the retreat.  Not sure if I've found them all yet.  Thanks Deb and Nancy!

The one above and below were both bought at the Amish Quilt Auction near the retreat.  Can't remember the prices but I think they were between $200 and $375 a piece.  What a deal!



Spring showers showed their face this weekend.  Though I enjoy these kinds of weekends because there is nothing better to do than sit inside and sew. Specially if you are sewing.  

 Unless you want to go to the Amish Auction which half the guests did.  There were two lucky gals that saw a deal and bought a quilt.  The workmanship was exquisite. 

Thanks for a great weekend!

Wool Applique Weekend

Thanks everyone for giving me a 'penny for their thoughts'.  I suspected the drawing was rigged.  I will treasure each and everyone's efforts!  What a keepsake!!  Thanks Lisa!


I had the pleasure this past weekend to host Lisa Bongean from Primitive Gathering from Menasha Wisconsin.  Don't ever pass up the chance to visit this top ten quilt shop!  Lucky for us, she brought a little bit of her shop along with her.  She taught us all a ton of hints on appliqueing wool and a ton of hints on many things.  I learned soooooo much this past weekend and I know I didn't catch half of it all - working in the kitchen.  I think I can safely speak for everyone......."LISA - We ALL had a FANTASTIC FUN weekend!!!"  A big THANKS !!! 

Butt Joyce, I want a quilt tattoo.......oops missed that photo op..
