I am being taken on a fabric shopping spree and then onto lunch by my daughter-in-law as a belated birthday gift.

Looking forward to it very much. I have an idea for my next quilt and I have a "few gaps" in colour in the fabrics that I intend using so I hope to remedy that today.

If anyone has any good ideas on how to do that, I'd sure appreciate the input. Otherwise, have a great Saturday y'all.
My DD did a peacock wallhanging, made a sleeve on the back and inserted wire or an old cut-to-size coat hanger. It worked pretty well.

This morning had nothing at all to do with my sewing room or quilting. I spent the morning making choc covered bacon. Had a friend that wanted to buy some from me. I Quoted him a price of $30/lb (bacon n chocolate is expensive you know, plus my time) and he quickly agreed to it!

DD and I went to a quilt show this am. They had a resale shop & she got 4 or 5 good sized batting pieces. She paid $2. for all of them. We came back here & she straightened out some problems with my computer & looked at all 284 pictures I took on my recent trip to CA.

Have to go to grocery store; think I'll get something to put in crock pot for dinner after work tomorrow.
Whoever posted about the crock pot, thanks for the idea.

THEN I'll be able to work on my brother's National Park quilt for a Christmas gift.

Forgot to add that we registered for a couple of quilt classes at SewingExpo in Tinley Park next month.

What do you do when you have too much stuff and not enough room?
