My Lucky Week


I WON!  I WON!  You just don't understand how exciting that is.  I rarely win anything. I'm not un-lucky...I have lame prize luck.  On the rare occasion that I do win, it's usually the ugly centerpiece door-prize that no one wants.  But this time, I hit the jackpot!  Kellie has very generously given some incentive prizes for the Joseph's Coat Quilt-along.  Mine arrived Monday.  Yipeeee!

This past weekend, the weather was gorgeous here, and the hubby was itchin' to ride the motorcyle.  I was able to talk him into riding on Saturday, rather than Sunday...because the quilt shop that's an hour-or-so North of here, up that winding road he likes to drive, is closed on Sunday.  He dropped me off at Stitch n Snip in Crouch and headed to the Longhorn Saloon for a cold drink.  I was well behaved and bought 1/8th yard pieces of these fantastic batiks.  Of course, I ran into someone there that I know, so I had to stay and quilt gossip with Gretchen.  And it turns out that the shop is part of a 10 day, Idaho/Oregon Shop Hop.  Seriously?  A quilt shop hop is like inviting an alcoholic on a pub crawl.  I will NOT be trying to hit the other 15 by Saturday.  I will, however, keep the maps and addresses in the saddle bag, and I got this cute card holder kit (which I sewed up the moment I got home).

You are so funny! Inviting an alcoholic on a pub crawl! I feel the same way about quilt shops and hops. I'm going on one this coming Saturday!

I'd love that pattern for the card holder, willing to share?
