Happy, Happy.

It's such a beautiful day today, both in weather and heart. I went out this morning for an interview with the disability rehabilitation department with the hope that they would be able to help me find work. A huge yahooooooo can be heard from my house. It seems I qualify for their assistance. While I was chatting with the counselor she happened to tell me about a quilting store in the same mall as her office. I can't begin to tell you how happy I was to find a quality quilt shop just minutes from home. I don't know that Mr ASU will be as happy as me. So of course I couldn't leave empty handed. Two lovely Aussie magazines to thumb through.
A little stitchery to work on in the evenings.
And a peek at .............. on that gorgeous Essex fabric.
Happy Stitching.

How could you NOT know about a quilt shop!? Goodness, can't you smell the fabric? Giggle. I'm glad you could find some Aussie mags, and the pattern looks like fun. But the peek, is the best! Pretty, pretty.

Wow, that peek is gorgeous. Wish I could make roses as well as you do.

God bless.

The magazines are wonderful! I love quilt shops, but if I can't see them personally, then mags are the best way to see them!
