We had our own little shop hop (3 days): Diane, Deby, Kelly (Kelly drove herself and left us after day 2) and me; Sandi. We started in Erie, MI, stopping at Holland Outlet (for me to go to Jones of NY store), to S Lyons and E Lansing quilt shop, then to Grand Rapids for the Quilt Show. Spent a whole day (day 2)at the show. Day 3 we headed home, stopping at 3 quilt shops on our way back to Erie. Our stops also included the farmer's market in Grand Rapids; great place. Spent money, ate well and had a really nice time.

Sandi:
Finished another quilt, this one for me. It is quite lovely; and different. the quilting is prominent.
do rather like this one!

 

The backing is neat, too. the size is perfect and I made a throw and pillowcases.

Nobody is posting to our Blog and I know quilts have been made. I finished Tarrah's/ It is different, but cool.

Sandi: my newest quilt. it is not my normal design but think it is pretty.
