A Few New Purchases

I had a great sewing weekend with my three sisters! We gathered at my sister's home in Fillmore, CA. The weather was just perfect, hovering right around 65-70 and sunny. The hills were green and pretty! We walked, giggled, watched movies and rewound the funny parts so we could laugh even harder, ate and just generally had a good time. (Can you say "pants on the ground?)

On my way down there, I stopped at a little quilt store in Carpenteria, CA. The name escapes me at the moment. I bought these for my Dear Jane quilt.....



 and these...







Then when I got home, I had these waiting for me in the mail...



I have had a 6 x 12 ruler for probably 10 years, but it's been warped for most of that time and I finally just thought "why am I dealing with this?" and bought a new one! That is the ruler I use the most so it makes so much sense to have one that isn't warped. I don't know why I let myself become adjusted to such things....Anyway, I'm about to go chuck the warped one.

It's very rainy and windy here, which makes for a perfect day to sew! That's where I'm off to!

    Sounds like you had a wonderful time! I think that store in Carpenteria is called Treasure Hunt..maybe anyway...Have been there and loved it. The red frame and Mac-A-Doodles is really cute. I haven't seen those.
    Never heard the "pants on the ground" comment either..I must be out of it :-)
    Congrats on the new rulers. I bought one of those lime green Omnigrids and really like it. It really does slip less.
