With Pieceful Hearts -

They came rolling in around 6pm on Wednesday evening!

I wasn't expecting a 15 passenger "church" van!  But what a way to travel with friends!

And yes - they DID get all of their stuff packed in there as well - incredible job of car Tetris, everyone!

The Pieceful Hearts hail from North Augusta, SC and Augusta GA with ONE ex-pat who now lives in Florida.  So happy Siobhan came on this trip to get away from the Florida heat and humidity!

And the luggage begins to fill the back porch.

And continues to fill the back porch! LOL!!

"Has anyone seen my Featherweight? It's in a black case..."

It didn't take long for design walls to show some color!

And for the stories to start telling -

And the laughter to start rolling!

There is a fun weekend ahead -

And the crazy thing is?  We haven't had a drop of rain yet.  So much for that crazy forecast - is there such a thing as Fake Weather?

Today looks to be the best evening for Fire Pit time, so that is in line for things that happen today.

There is also a group plan to hit some quilt shops and see the area a bit.  They'll hit the road this morning, but plan on being home early afternoon so this cutting and sewing thing can continue.

Chris's string blocks looking great on the design wall!

For those who mentioned they hadn't seen Ivy in a while -

She's still here being her crazy self.

I haven't been able to sit in my comfy stitching chair for almost 6 weeks now.  It's getting better, but Ivy and Zoey don't know what to do in the evening when mom is lying on the couch, and dad is in mom's chair.  There just doesn't seem to be enough room when dad is there. So I don't have the opportunity for "togetherness" photo taking from my evening vantage point.

So there is always this - This is Zoey's spot when I'm blog-typing.

And this is Lola's spot when I'm order-filling!

Yesterday's release of Rockabilly Swing went absolutely nuts - and I couldn't be more thrilled!

And thanks for not razzing me about the blurry header photo - that's a blogger issue, not me.  Why are these other photos clear - but when I upload the header photo with their new and improved format it is blurry no matter my resolution?!  Crazy Town.

Fabrics from 1980s all the way to today -

Scraps in all colors, in every genre and variety.

You cheered me on as I made block after block after block in this adorable size - and watched as it was assembled, quilted, and bound.

And now you can start your OWN Rockabilly Swing journey with my PDF pattern which includes the printable paper foundation template.

The introductory price of Rockabilly Swing has been placed 25% off at $9.00 through July 31, 2021.  No coupon code needed. 

Rockabilly Swing is paper foundation pieced.  I have used Carol Doak's 8 1/2'' X 11'' Foundation Paper with much success.  It is available in the Rulers, Notions & Tools section of the Quiltville Store. (Limited supply)

You can also find it in the Quilting All the Time category of the Quiltville Amazon Affiliate Store  Direct link HERE.

You can also use 8 1/2'' x 11'' newsprint, though it doesn't like some printers. (I get jams occasionally on mine)  It is also available HERE.

If this is your first time downloading digital patterns from my store to a computer click HERE.

If you intend to download to an iPhone/iPad click HERE.

And YES!  We are having a Gift-Away!  Did you enter on YESTERDAY'S POST?

Our winner will receive the PDF pattern for Rockabilly Swing AND a Jumble of Color roll from Cotton to Quilts!

If you are also in need of neutral stash enhancement, hit up Cotton to Quilts and see what Irene has curated just for you!

I think that catches me up to now.  This morning, those of us not quilt shop hopping will take a walk down along Round House Road.  This is a new group of folks who haven't done this walk before, and it is all in prep to also see who feels they can hike to see the ponies up at Grayson Highlands this weekend as well.

And then there will be time for sewing and more fun this afternoon as we kick off the weekend.

Do you have anything fun in store for the weekend ahead?

Quiltville Quote of the Day -

Vintage quilt found in Kentucky.

Sometimes we just have to stop and look and appreciate things for the way they are right now.

⁣

And sometimes life will surprise you as you simply watch things unfold in front of you.

Kind of like watching the wildflowers bloom -

Have a wonderful Friday, everyone!
