Whoo hoo!!!!!! It’s Friday again. It’s been a busy week but a great week for sure. We’ve had lots of homework and activities to deal with but I still managed to get a bit of quilty work in over the last few days. I really have a hankering to do some personal quilting and sewing but it might not happen for awhile yet. I need a Twitter Sew In…I think there might be a Columbus Day one coming up but I have promised my daughter, Leah, that we would have a craft day spent with polymer clay. So I’ll switch to polymer clay hat and see if I can come up with something cute for the Etsy store. Perhaps buttons or an ornament.
This week I picked up my new glasses! I have had the same ones for sooooo long and I really wanted a second pair so that I could have one pair upstairs on my night table for watching tv and the other pair downstairs for driving and everything else I need them for.
Here they are…
My oldest daughter, Amanda, has informed me with my new specs that I am “hipster”…still not sure what that means and if that’s even a good thing! LOL!
I wanted to share with you that I saw Green Fairy Quilts is having a huge sale this weekend on Moda Jelly Rolls! I am headed to her site after typing this to pick up a Christmas jelly roll for a race quilt. All jelly rolls are $26.95. That’s a really great price for Moda jelly rolls. Here is the link…

I’m sure the jelly roll race quilt that I’m planning to make won’t happen until next year…but that’s ok…I’ll pet the jelly roll until then!
I’m also on the lookout for an easy vest pattern that I can make with the jelly roll I purchased at Keepsake in June. I want an EASY pattern. This was brought on by a beautiful vest my mother and I saw a woman wearing at the Kaffe Fasset event. It was purple, green and brown and so pretty. Now I have a vest on the mind!
Now for some reminders….if you haven’t answered the $300 podcast research question, you have until probably Tuesday to do so to be included in the next podcast. The question is what would you spend $300 on at your favorite quilt shop?
The 100 Blocks Blog tour for Volume 6 which I am in, is coming up in November. I will have a copy of the magazine to give away to a lucky reader. There will also be a grand prize at the end of the blog tour which includes a copy of my book, Little Quilts for Big Occasions. So stay tuned on that!
This weekend we are headed to RI again to visit friends and attend something called Water Fire that is done in Providence. I believe it is a bonfire on the water with music type thing…more on that after I attend and take some pictures!
I think that’s it for today. What are you working on over the weekend?

Sandi, Your new glasses look AWESOME! I love it with your light colored hair. It IS hipster! 🙂 (for some reason hippy style is coming back, don’t ask me why)
Have fun on Rhode Island, wish I could go too! 🙂 But can’t have fun 2 weekends in a row :)Hope it’ll be rain free!
Enjoy your weekend!
Thanks Kati! Someday we’ll have to meet up. I feel like you aren’t all that far from me? I’m in East Bridgewater, MA. Do you ever get up to the Quilter’s Gathering in NH?
Wow, yes, that’s south of Boston about 3.5 hours from us 🙂 But so close to the Cape I’m so jealous! 🙂 My favorite part of the US used to be FL, but I’m getting close to put that in second place 🙂 I’ve never heard of the NH Quilter’s Gathering 🙁 I don’t want to drive by myself that much and I have no one around to go with.
Hi Sandi. I think the glasses look really nice on you! I looked up hipster on urban dictionary, and it talks about “effortless cool urban bohemian look”. Sounds like a compliment to me!
It’s Thanksgiving this weekend in Canada, so we’re having family over for the big turkey dinner. It will be a nice, relaxing long weekend (except for the dinner making part – but I don’t mind that at all).
Hope you have a good weekend too.
Happy Thanksgiving Colleen!! I hope you and your family have a beautiful holiday together!
Thanks for enlightening me as to what hipster means. I’ll take it as a compliment. I’ll take anything I can as a compliment if it comes from my 14 year old! Lol! And thank you for the kind words about my new glasses.
Will you get a chance to quilt this weekend at all…after the big meal and dishes are done?
Thanks for stopping by the blog and enjoy the holiday!
Hi Katie, I think your glasses look really cool. Great choice! I’m hoping its okay to respond to the $300 quilting question here? If I had $300 to spend at a quilting store, I would spend it on Aurifil thread. I see lovely colors of per-packaged Aurifl thread but its too expensive for me so I stick to neutral colors of off-white or gray for my quilting. But I sure would love to try some of their fun colors if money wasn’t an object! This weekend I’m not quilting. I’ve decided to use a particular fabric for binding for a Christmas present. Of course I don’t have enough of it! So I’m going to fabric stores in hopes I can find it. Right now I’m knitting French Press Felted Slippers and also a Shawl.

Hi Sandy, Love the new glasses. With $300 I would purchase more Kaffe Fasset fabrics for my collection that I hope to use in a few months when I retire. I really enjoy your podcasts, vidcasts and blog. Thanks.
