Acquisitions...

While I was taking a break after completing the quilting on ready set sew quilt I noticed that my pal Debbie had loaded a few items for sale on facebook. 
I may have purchased half of them. LOL
It was a beautiful day so I decided to walk down to her place to pick them up. There is an Anni Downs pattern and printed stitchery to go with it.
A felt needle case pattern.
Not one but two mini Kaffe kits.
These make cute zippered pouches.
A lovely quilt pattern.
And a bundle of Aida for cross stitching.
While I was there Debbie was digging in her project box and showing me what she must complete. She came across a bundle of precut eye spy fabrics that she was going to make in to a quilt, there were also a few charms of black and white fabrics.
And she threw those in to my bag too.
The eye spy pieces are all cut ready to make a post card quilt, I just need to add sashing fabric.
That was an unexpected and happy little shopping spree.

So as I mentioned above, I have completed the quilting on the ready set sew quilt. I was using my new Sure Stitch regulator. What a difference! It is so much better than my old regulator. Very happy with that acquisition.
The binding is on and half way closed. I'm hoping to get that finished today.
But I also need to make 3 dozen lemon muffins and go have my nails done.
We have friends coming for a BBQ this evening, so I had better do some preparations for that. Maybe a special dessert.

We had wedding rehearsals last night, it is the first time I have been to the venue, what a delightful place, I'll try to get lots of photos tomorrow. I saw a lion, a witch and a wardrobe and close by was Mr. Tumnus. I saw Alice and the queen of hearts as well as a whole bunch of other folks.

I'm off to find my apron.
