Today my husband and myself took a drive from our house heading north to the thumb. I live in MI. There is a fantastic quilt shop about an hour north in Marlette, MI that we stopped at. I have been making him a quilt and needed backing. They were having a sale 30% off, plus I had a frequent flyer card good for $25 of free anything. Soo we found backing and material to make a Mariner's Star to go on the back of his quilt. The front will have lighthouses and nautical flags. I will post a picture as soon as I'm finished. As we drove back going around the lake there is another store we HAD to stop at in Harbor Beach. Of course now they had a "Sweet Pea" print and greens to go with them. I was looking for this two years ago for a baby quilt. that was the color my daughter had wanted for the baby. Oh well, I bought some to make mommy a table runner. It was an awesome day. Weather in the 80s, hubby helping and a great way to spend Memorial weekend.
