I've sequestered myself away the last few days to finish quilting Country Charmer. This quilt is going to be so much fun to add to the decorations at Christmas.
I'll get the binding and hanging sleeve on it this week, and then I can chalk up another quilt in the finished column.
You can see why it took me a couple of days to get this one done. The quilting is quite dense.
I took a break one day and went to Cloth and Quilts in Turlock, CA. It is a great shop....the only problem is that it is a 1-1/2 drive from my home. We were in a town nearby for our granddaughter's 5th grade graduation, so we took a detour to this wonderful quilt shop.
Great selection from the walls filled with color! They also have quite a few plaids, checks, polka dots and stripes.
There's a great selection of threads too.
The book room is so welcoming. Hundreds of books to choose while you curl up in one of the comfortable chairs.
The shop also has a big and bright classroom.
So if you are out and about, make a detour to downtown Turlock and visit Cloth and Quilts. If you like antiques, this is the town for you too. There are several large antique shops that are great for browsing.
I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend.
As always,
Lynn
Country Charmer is beautiful. You quilted it so nicely, and I especially love the cross-hatch in the sashing.

ReplyDeleteOH polka dots, DD had a love for polka dots when she was younger.
It's beautiful, Lynn.
