Hi,
I got a project started on my new embroidery machine this last week. This is so fun being able to do bigger projects.  I have the blocks made for a table runner hope to get it sewn together today. 
Snowing here so not going out.   headed to sew when finished posting this.
Yesterday went with hubby to his United Bow Hunters anual meeting and banquet in Springfield Il.  A another friend came with her hubby too.  We went shopping  We hit the hobby shops.  Went to Tuesday Morning and found some rolls of 2 1/2 inch strips  some were Benertex and other had no name on them.  I got 2 xmas ones and another one with browns plus a bundle of fat quarters.  Friend got some too.   Good deals.   rolls were $7.99 each with 20 strips  and the Benertex roll of 40 strips was $22.00

then we went to Joann's  and found 5 inch square packs for $8.99 but had buy 1 get 1 free.   so I bought 2 packs and got 2   of off white. great background   also went to Micheal's but did not find anything.   had a great lunch at Panera's  soup and salad.  

Then met back up with husbands for the evening meal  great food and speakers and auction.  Mine won an auction item and we each won a silent auction time. Mine was Cubs steak knives and his was fishing flies.   Mine will be a gift and he will use his when weather gets warmer.

Got home about midnight and a few snowflakes were starting so did good. 

OK off to sew

Happy quilting until next time
