Universal and Fabric Hop

Here are few more pictures of our trip to Florida. We were lucky to be able to visit Universal Studious Parks.

I think the pictures "talk" for themselves! :))

I visited a quilt shop near Miami called "Sunshine Sewing Company"...

.... and I got the Sunflower pattern for my mother-in-law and the mouse fabric for my sister-in-law, the pansy fabric is for me! :)

I also stopped at "Byrd's Nest Quilt Shop" in Ormond Beach. The store has a beautiful location just 2 blocks from the beach and lots of pretty fabrics.

I found this beautiful print that will make an amazing table runner.

Here some photos of the beach!

I loved how the sand had this bronze shine!

We were also lucky to see this star fish. I haven't seen one before.

It was a dreamy trip, I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Trip to Florida... quilt shops

We are back from a trip to Florida. It was nice to see the blossoming trees a sure sign the Spring was coming! On the way we stopped at Savannah, GA.

I was happy to see some Palm trees , too.

In Florida we stopped at shop "Fireside Quilts" near the high way, but the store recently moved so we went to the new location.

It was a nice shop with lots a batiks and bright fabrics!

Below are my purchases: I got some '30 prints ....

.... this Loralie Designs fabric just spoke to me. You know the feeling. It was on National Quilting day so the store had 20% off sale and the owner gave 1/4 yard extra of the fabric.

My mother-in-law got me the print below from a shop in Orlando. Isn't just perfect to go with the fabric above.

It's always good to be back home, but it is so cold here.

Stay tuned for more Florida pictures, till then Happy sewing!

On the road... Raffle quilt ....fabrics

I saw this beautiful raffle quilt on a display in Chestertown, Maryland.

I bought two tickets so wish me luck! :)

It will benefit Crossroads Community Foundation.

I was on a search for a quilt shop, but the town didn't have one and then I saw it!

Chestertown had a lot of little shops that was a pleasure to window shop. We enjoed the view of the frozen river.

On the drive home I found a quilt shop called "Quilter's hive" in DE. They were having a class and had a lot of fabric.

I wasn't looking for any specific fabric so I got half a yard of this pretty print. I usually get in a lot of trouble at quilt shops, so I did good! :)

After I was so good, I realized I need backing for one of my PhD projects, so I ordered online from delta patchwork some fabrics.

I love the packaging and the fabric was very nice, too.

Happy sewing!
