I didn't take part in it, I'm not likely to do it this year either. I don't do shop hops, mystery bus tours or this! I have found in the past that you spend an awful lot of money when you are out there, then you come home and think "why did I do that". Now I don't have to think!
On Facebook, they post the shops participating and the pattern that each store will be handing out. This one I loved!
I was going to ask Karl to stop in at the shop on the way home from the east coast, but we were going through on a Sunday and the shop isn't open then.
When weRquilts, announced they would be selling kits after the row by row was over, I phoned right away and ordered one.
I traced and cut out all the pieces one afternoon and the next day set about putting them in their place!
I had to use my big light table and even it wasn't long enough.
It didn't take long before it was all put together so I snapped a photo! Darn it, I missed tracing one little piece.
Shoot.....don't like below that blue flower either. It looks -- ummmmm -- odd, empty, wrong?
Yes! It's all put together now.
This was my plan all along for this row. Not into a quilt, not for me!
A wonderful new kitchen valance! Something to add colour to our tiny kitchen.
It will be great to look up and see this next winter.
Oh, sorry, I sad that bad word again.....
