Quilts in the Barn is a wonderful time spent with like minded people,

not to mention the fantastic quilts that will be on display...

Linda and her team of helpers, along with the Crow Girls....makes for a wonderful day!!!!!

haven't been to this one, but I think that I will be trying my hardest to make it there....

not that I will probably ever do a Dear Jane quilt...

but it's always nice to look...

made from a rolled up face cloth with the cutest strawberry on top!

now normally I don't do scarves, but this one is just stunning and as I do wear a bit of black this will get a lot of use I'm sure....

some days didn't have time, 

some days couldn't think of anything!

so now I have a few minutes to myself after the shopping, 

putting it away, 

cleaning the freezer (so I could actually get stuff into it!),

cutting up and bagging the meat for the freezer, 

I will try to post some photos for PAD...
