and I did make it to JoAnn's--
I wanted some batting for this week ends basting session--
downstairs while watching the races--
and they had some on sale at 40% off--
and I got a selection of greens--
and these came home too--
and a new rotary cutter--it took a while to find one I thought I might like--most of them now have a screw on the back for changing blades--I can not get mine tight enough on the old one and the blade is always loose and then it doesn't cut accurately--this one does not have the screw and I gave it a good work out today--and it is really great!!!
and this found it's way in the bag--
now this one holds things that were on a flat tray here (like the grocery pad, calculator, ect--)
and it looks so much prettier--and you can see that I did find a nice use for the little pitcher too!!!
Now I also did get some sewing done-
and it is up on my 'new' design wall--
it is my first ever design wall--and after using it today--
I just love it--
that is the size of most of my lap quilts I do--
and here is a closer look at the 11 blocks I have done so far--
I need a total of 77-9 patches--better getting stitching!!!
and I got the next Christmas block done today--
though I did have to rip out and restitch all the red block points--
for some reason couldn't 'drive' that machine to stitch straight!!!!!
and one more photo--
I did buy me a treat at Walmart--
What did you do today????
Enjoy the moments, di
but I have not talked to her yet to find out why she was in there--
and if they helped her or not!!!!
thanks to those who added June to their prayer list--

Looks like a fun shopping spree!! Batting on sale is always a good thing. Love all the blocks on your design wall. Hopefully I will show you my Christmas block soon.
L,A-
It sounds like you had a great day shopping. You got some really good stuff, especially the batting for that much off. I love the green fabrics and that box is so cute!
The pitcher looks pretty with your pencils and things in it. I have a large cup that my daughter gave me one time with flowers in it. It now sits on a shelf in my sewing room and holds all my colored pencils. I love seeing it.
I like the applique shape you just did on the NY bom. A bit different.
You've been busy! Lots of fun stuff going on in your sewing room. Congrats on getting a design wall set up. How I managed without is beyond me, I love my two. Glad your sister is home. Hopefully that got to root cause and she's healing.
You will LOVE having a design wall! I recently bought a new rotary cutter, and it's the purple version of yours. I immediately cut myself for the first time. Be careful! You have been doing some serious shopping lately. Have fun!
