This was a nice size, not too big, but enough to keep my attention for more than an hour! LOL!!!
I met up with Debi, TXJan and DH, Maynard around noonish. (Brenda, Marje and Shelly...y'all were missed) They were just finishing a snack, and then we went shopping...ah, looking at quilts. Okay, both! GRIN!!! They had already been to some of the vendors, and had a few purchases under their belts, so to speak. They took me to a vendor that had FQ's for $1/each...what a deal! So you KNOW I had to pick up a couple...or twenty. LOL!!! (I'll take a picture later...) They twisted my arm... Okay, they didn't, but sounds good! LOL!!! Debi had brought a small tote...her reasoning...once full, no more purchases. Well, that didn't work! GRIN!!! And, Jan bought a really pretty basket, along with other goodies. It was fun!!!
Once they left (they got there a couple hours before me, so had already seen most of the quilts...or as they said...they were really there for the shopping!!!), I decided to go row by row, which included quilts and vendors...
Then, later, I found a ruler, The strip club ruler
,that I had seen on a recent shop hop, so got that too. Here's a link to the shop that created it, and I think a you-tube demo...

Now, this is a nifty ruler if you use lots of hst's or like to do strip type quilts. One of the 'patterns' is the "Danila" block...spelled like my greatniece Danila spells her name...so guess who will get a quilt using it!!! :>)
I have also seen the quilt pattern "Take 5".
Isn't it cute? I'm thinking it'll be good for my small quilting group to use for our charity stuff.
No, I didn't get fabric for this...I'm sure I can find something in my stash! LOL!!! Goodness knows, I have other quilts that I need to make before I start working on one of these...
I can say, I could kick myself (well, not really!) for forgetting my camera for the show. DARN!!! I had taken it out of my purse/tote to change the batteries, and forgot to put it back. Realized it about 20 minutes from home, but didn't feel like going back...
Also...before going, I decided to put a few bucks worth of gas into my roomy's SUV...figured I'd fill up 'in town' where it would be cheaper tomorrow. Weeeellllllllll...I pull up the the convenience store here in Ponder (Bev's), and low and behold, her unleaded gas is $3.31.9!!!! Woo hoo!!! That's at least .25 cheaper than 'town' (aka Denton)!!! So, I filled it up. I'll take my truck down tomorrow...can't pass that price up!!!
Hey Kimi, if you are reading this (grin!), I have a little something I need to mail to you. Well, a bit bigger than little...it'll be a box. Do you want me to send to you or your mom? Send me an email...
BTW...Kimi is my God-daughter, who is married to Drew, and they are preggers with their first...baby AJC, who refuses to show if he/she is boy/girl. GRIN! I am soooo excited for them!!! She's really in the uncomfortable stage, so is hoping baby AJ makes an appearance soon. Yesterday would have been fine with her! GRIN!!! (Hey Kim, Jenna's birthday is Sept 30th...VBG!!!) They are due in early October... BTW, they said they didn't want to know, and every time they've had the test, baby is shy. GRIN!!! Guess baby was listening, huh?
So...everyone...have a super weekend!!!
Moe goes back to work tomorrow...430am-3p..thanks, Ike!

It was great seeing you and what a fun time we had! See you in December!!!!!!
It was fantastic to see you again, I have missed you. I hope we can get together again before Christmas. Let me know if you need help with the get together.
I think it's a stinker little boy that takes after his daddy and likes to play practicle jokes on me.... Either way our son or daughter will be here sooner than later - although I am praying for the sooner part :) LOVE YOU AUNT SALLY!!
What a clever little ruler, Sally. So many creative quilts from one! What a fun thing that is! And what a fun day. Wish I could have been there :) Glad you had so much fun and Moe goes back to work!
