LOVE the way this guy turned out.........

maybe he will bring some cooler weather our way....

But at least the heat is good doll making weather......the stain dries FAST!!!!!!

off to the water park to hang in the pool with Stella.....while pumpkin man sits in the sun and ages.....stay cool my friends!!!

Quilt Show Goodies....

Here are the things I bought from the show....first off...these primitive Quilting magazines are to DIE for...each magazine..there are 2 out now...has like 20 projects and all prim and all awesome...I cannot recommend this magazine high enough!!!! I also got the new Need'l Love mag for fall...always a good one!

Check out these projects...love them all and heres just a few...

This is a cool halloween prim quilt....

LOVE this squirrel!!!

anything with wool!!!!


I bought a few kits.....hard to see them in this picture but they are all prim and came from the primitive quilts booth!


Also bought a couple patterns and a LITTLE wool...not much...just a little....and I couple of little stacks of civil war fabric....

SO yesterday afternoon I decided to take my tea and one of my new prim quilting magazines outside to read and enjoy the sun....came back in and left the magazine outside to finish up today....OMG I live in So Cal and it NEVER EVER EVER rains here in the summer....so this morning we woke up to thunder and it was pouring......later on I went outside and found my poor prim magazine soaked........so sad. I did manage to get it dried out...it looks like crap but I can still use it...the pattern part inside didnt get wet.......CRAZY weather!!!!!

Now the sun is back out and its humid as ......you fill in the blank!!!!

maybe I will go back out and lounge the rest of the day away reading my new mags!!! Have a great rest of the weekend!!!

Yesterday my 2 sisters and I headed for Long Beach to the Quilt Festival......it was heaven..at least for this prim lover!!!!!

I of course bought this crow pattern and the kit.....

Then it was on to Puddingstone Road...another fav booth....although I already have most of thier patterns....

Then onto a fav...Primitive Gatherings.....although not much new...I have most of thier stuff too....lol...

OK those were my fav booths......where I spent my $$$$...and I will post in a few days what I bought..AND pictures of some quilts...although very disappointing..the best quilts were not allowed to be photographed.
My sister Linda took lots of pics and you can see them on her blog when she posts them.
It was a fun day........we had dinner at California Pizza kitchen....walked around the boardwalk...and spent 4 hours on our feet at the show...by the end of the night...these dogs were BARKING!!!!!! BUT well worth it....I have lots of fun things to show you next time.
