I had a great day!

Today Debbie and I took the ferry to VT. After a short Doctors visit we went shopping. It was very windy and rained most of the day. In the back of my mind I kept thinking about that 10 or12 minute ferry ride back to NY. I didn't let it stop me though. Our first stop was to Jo-Anns where I made my first and very expensive purchase of one DMC floss. Price .35 cents. I was most excited to find this floss. The town I live in is not very big. Our Jo-Anns closed a few years ago. We have a Michaels store. (they have been out of this floss for quite awhile). This floss has been holding up a project, now I have no excuse.


Next we went to Yankee Pride Quilt Shop. This shop is lovely. It has new owners and they have a wonderful selection of all types of fabrics. I really didn't need anything special. As I looked around I heard some fabric calling me. I turned and there was Charisma by Chez Moi for Moda. This is what I bought for I don't know what. I guess for my stash. I love it!

I also purchased some background fabrics and another piece of fabric for My Journey of a Quilter quilt by Leanne Beasley that I want to make this year.

After shopping we had lunch at one of our favorite restaurants. Then it was home because of the weather. The ride home was very smooth.

I have been looking for buttons for a stitchery project that I am doing . Debbie found them for me in her button jar. Now I can finish that project.

When I returned home my mail had arrived. In the mail was a piece of fabric from Primitive Gatherings. With the following not enclosed. Thanks goodness some people do these BOM's. I am so far behind on mine. The fabric will be discontinued before I get to it.

In another package was an over dyed floss to do another project. I love to cross stitch. I have only done a small amount of it since I started quilting. This is a project that I would like to start in the near future. I find that cross stitch is much harder on my eyes that it used to be. Maybe I should see the eye doctor. Yes, that it probably a good idea.

Also in the mail today was the second BOM of Autumn House by Anne Sutton from The Fat Quarter Shop. Now I haven't started the first block yet but....... I know ...

This little Easter kit also arrived today. It is stitched on perforated paper. I shouldn't have too many problems with this project other that getting it started and finished before Easter. No problem?!

Now you see why I had a great day. How was yours? I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I will chat again soon.
