Friday Night Sew –in With 194 Friends!

Just a litth_Fridaynight4-Page001tle sew-in with 194 bloggy friends! Thanks to Heidi for this very fun idea. I have been putting off and putting off working on my Eye Spy quilt, so that’s what I decided to work on…….011

This is where I started at early Friday night…Coke at the ready, the Olympics on, ready set go!!! In my head I would have the whole top done, but this quilt about 016 drove me to eat CHOCOLATE! All those matching points are quite the challenge and my piecing is not perfect, but perfect enough for my little granddots. Thanks Heidi for the nudge and organizing our Friday Night Sew-in! Looking forward to the March sewing night.

I had a great visit with my girl and her guy…a very yummy Mexican dinner in Old Town San Diego. Along the way I just had to visit some quilt shops….The Quilters Coop in Temecula (one of my favorites), Fat 007 Quarters in Vista, Rosie’s

in San Diego and The Country Loft in La Mesa. So many wonderful things to drool over!

The next day there was a fun visit to The San Diego Zoo and seeing all the creatures big and small010 …babies holding on tight to their mamas, and these tall guys that I could watch all day.009

What a fun few days….but now I hear the laundry calling. Wishing you all a very happy weekend.

Your quilt top looks amazing! I always shy away from anything with triangles.

I love the San Diego Zoo. I've only been once since I live on the East Coast but it was a memorable visit! Love the baby enclosure.

Take care, Linda
