Yesterday was deemed the unofficial shop hop day for Emily's Stitchers!
Before I knew it, after making my good morning rounds and feeding the two feline beasts waiting at the back door...folks were marching down the front walkway to their designated cars and off they went!
Some to Quilts on Main in Galax, some to Batiks, Etc in Wytheville and some even going further afield to Fancy Gap Pottery & Fabric Outlet in search of treasures!
No people around (Spare one dedicated quilter who decided to stay behind and sew) and just a smattering of projects in progress up on design walls.
Cute little runner in the making!
They all flew the coop!
But projects are still showing progerss!
I spy the beginnings of a holiday runner!
Kits are perfect for retreat sewing!
Pretty fussy cut birds.
Some spooky show & share from the lone left behind quilter - and my partner in road hiking!
This is the top she finished yesterday - so fun!
And this one! I love it!
What a great way to use fabrics with big prints and showcase them.
Spooky fun! I love Halloween quilts.
In my own studio - more half-square triangles. Are you surprised?
I keep needing more.
So I make more.
It was a beautiful afternoon so the two of us remaining headed out for a road hike up Roundhouse Road. All the way up to the cemetery at the top.
The little roadside waterfall is looking much more like fall as the water is now rushing over the leaves that have fallen to the ground.
A couple of others had made their way back by the time we returned from our hike - others were still MIA when it was time for me to head home so I'm anxious to find out just what treasures they brought back when I see them this morning!
Two more episodes into Virgin River and I've gotten close to finishing this motif.
After this one...perhaps only 2 more of this variety need to be made and then I can concentrate on the larger ones with the aqua surrounding the outside.
Hexies are not fast! They just aren't. But it's worth it.
And with that - it's time to draw for our two winners in the Flame Azalea Gift-Away!
We had 3674 entries! I've seen blocks already happening in different colorways.
I'm thrilled with the response!
Entry 947 is:
