Theresa from YORE a primitive store in Gotham WI
We stopped at YORE primitives in Gotham WI on the way to Patsy’s Homestead Cabin Retreat…this shop was wonderful…it went on and on…room after room of Christmas and primitives…what more could you want…I bought lots and can’t wait to put it out with my Christmas decorations…here a few shots of the shop and Theresa it’s owner…more on the retreat later…LB
Guess where I am going today for the weekend? Can you RETREAT! Yes! Lucky me I am leaving to go to my favorite retreat place…Homestead Cabin Retreat…in no where (Hillpoint) WI…no just kidding..it is a perfect place for a retreat house…no cell reception, just in the middle of farm country….I love going to Patsy’s and hope that our retreat house has the same inviting atmosphere where quilter’s gathering for what they love best! I should be packing, instead of being on this computer…but I just put together my Settler’s Pride BOM to finish the last block and start the borders…here it is …i will be working on it this weekend along with another little quilt for Featherweight Club…just thought those of you doing this would want a peek…I sewed the wool blocks together with 1/2″ seam allowances on my machine using my walking foot…then pressed the seams open. This worked so good I think MY next BOM that I design will be wool on wool…it is so fun to work with…FYI you will not hear from me for a few days…but I will report back on Monday of what fun I’ve had…LB
Well I promised I would show all of you “The Gathering” as far as it was on the Open House. We are still going through the internet orders and will pick a winner soon….for the free weekend Jan-March. It is snowing here today…I think our first or at least the prettiest snowfall we have had yet…I think some of you CA and Southern Girls should come to The Gathering and visit the snow this winter…wouldn’t that be cool…you could just look at it through the window and sew away….then go back to your warm home weather after the weekend…here are the pics..everything looks a litle brighter than it is because of all those daylight lights…I missed a few shots but here is what I have for now…I will fill in the voids later…you will be sick of me talking about it in the next couple of weeks…we are working on the headboards for the upper rooms…the bathrooms on the lower level and then just a little more tweeking and hunting for bedside tables and such….curtains and you know…stuff!….LB
Here are the blocks for The Farmer’s Wife Sampler and they are posting on the right day!….Sue has done it again…making a bunch of 6″ blocks…with all those repro fabric…has anyone kept up? LB
