My friend and her husband got here around 2:30........

so she and I had time to hop in the car and go to 3 quilt shops. I had researched ahead of time to see which ones were open late on Tues. I got these 3 batiks at the second stop. The one in the middle is the exact color I was looking for to use for the triangle corners on my argyle quilt. It is a nice periwinkle. The other 2 were nice light batiks for my stash.
At the third shop I bought the beaters with the red background to make something for my red kitchen. I couldn't pass up the cherries either.
Today we are going to at least 2 more quilt shops after she looks at my quilts this morning.

Today is my oldest granddaughter's 22nd birthday. I can remember the day she was born just like it was yesterday. She was the first grandchild too and I made her all kinds of ruffly dresses.
