SUNDAY--AND EASTER ALL IN THE SAME DAY

 So first let me say--



I had a busy week--2 days of outings even--

Think I told you about the first one --on Tuesday--

the second one was on Thursday--with friend Carolyn again-our 2 main objectives that day was to go to a quilt shop and try to find fabrics for those pretty-pain in the neck-blessing blocks and to have lunch at Cracker Barrel--

We went north of here to an area called Viera--(suntree) and we stopped at a little thrift shop called--Angels in the attic--I really did not find much there--just an older basket that had to come home with me--then we went to a Quilt shop up the street--when I got out of the car--I noticed a long line outside on the sidewalk--wellll--they were having a 20% off sale and they were only letting '20' customers in the shop at a time--plus the employees--that was 25 at least in the store and this store is very very crowded with merchandize--no social distancing at all can happen there with that many in the shop!! and there was at least another 15 or more in line--so I just turned around and went back to the car!!!!!!!!  And we went on to Cracker Barrel and sat outside and had a lovely lunch--then we came back a different way and stopped at another quilt shop about 3-4 miles straight up the road from me--it is larger and there is hardly more than a couple customers at a time in this store and a large selection of cloth--it took awhile but we finally came up with a couple fabrics for the blessing blocks--I think--I am still thinking on that one!!!  then on to the grocery store!!

so it has taken me all week to get the next step done on the new hand piecing --stitch along--

These blocks kept playing tricks on me and keep twisting themselves so that I kept stitching them wrong--but I finally showed them who was 'boss'!!!!

And I got last months green yo-yo's finished-
And here is where I am on the Farmhouse counted cross stitching series--

The one I am working on now is the red barn--still have a tree to stitch on each side of the barn!!

I will be back tomorrow with Aprils goals--still working on figuring them out!!!

Am going to my son's and his girl friends this after noon--we are having a turkey dinner--they are doing the turkey--first time for either of them--I haven't baked a turkey in many years--so am not alot of help-as everything seems to have changed--even how long it takes to bake--now in half the time it used to take-are they growing a new kind of turkey these days--faster oven time ones??????

BE SURE TO COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS TODAY-
AND REMEMBER --YOU ARE A BLESSING TO ME--EVEN IF YOU HAVE NEVER LEFT ME A COMMENT--
BLESS ALL OF YOU--DI

Happy Easter! Smart on turning around on the crowded store. Your Harmony is just lovely... I really need to get back to mine. Enjoy the turkey dinner - I hope it comes out wonderfully.

Happy Easter to you too, Di...hope your dinner with son and his friend turned out good. I did a spiral sliced ham...first time for me. We went to stepdaughter's and it was just her and my grandson and my hubby and me. Small but really a lovely day. After we ate, we took a walk on the boardwalk up by the beach. So nice!!!! Good luck finding the right fabric for your projects.

It's too bad you couldn't shop in the one store, but I wouldn't have gone in either. How nice that Cracker Barrel has outdoor seating. I don't think ours does, but I'll have to check it out. What are you going to do with all your yoyos? I made a bunch with 30's fabric, and they are going to be a wall hanging. Some day. Hopefully.
