GO BLUE!

Well it is here, one of the ultimate rivalry football games, Michigan vs Michigan State. Let the countdown begin, in about 2 and a half hours the game begins. The game is at the Big House this year. I have a dear friend coming over for some quality quilting/football time. She is bringing Chili, I have all the snacks for a full day of FUN, and I don't have to cook!

Nothing like a great fall day full of a quilting and football. My husband is all geared up and has placed his annual bet with one of his friends. I can hardly wait.

I hope your Saturday is filled with Fall Fun!

GO BLUE, Chris

Fall is here at last :o).

Have you had one of these yet?

Have you been to the apple orchard yet, I went Saturday. One of the reasons why I love fall, all of the goodies and the apples. Have you tried a newer apple called Honey Crisp? A woman I work with introduced me to these apples and they are the best apple, my favorite. They are a bit pricey due to being new and all, but oh are they worth it.

My husband is a fan of the McIntosh so a bag of those came home as well as donuts. If you are from the Genesee County area of Michigan there is a wonderful Craft Show being held at the Wolcott Apple Orchard in Mt. Morris MI. If you are in the area stop in for some fall fun, we will be there with a booth selling candy and fabric coasters (my new addiction). Hopefully we will see you there, if not go find some Honey Crisp Apples you will not be sorry (mmmm good)!

Only 10 more days!

Hi everyone, there are only 10 more days to participate in the Autumn Celebration Treasure Hunt, as well as take advantage of the 10% off sale at www.thehometownquilter.com. There are so many fun fall projects it is hard to commit to one. So come on over and take a look at what is new for fall.

Christmas in July

Well it is almost July which means half of the year is over, hard to believe. The good thing about July is that means all of the Christmas and Fall Fabrics are hitting the quilt shops! Please stop in at www.thehometownquilter.com and see what surprizes we have for Christmas In July! See you soon :o).

Spring Market!

Well it is off to market I go! I just made all my arrangements to go to Minneapolis for Spring Market. I am so excited I have never been. There are so many designers I hope to meet like Minick and Simpson, Sandy Gervais, Kathy Schmitz, Kansas Troubles these are some of my favorites, all though there are so many more!

Well it is Easter already I have Monday off, so we will have a nice dinner and I plan on spending some quality time quilting. I am a Fall and Winter person but I have to say that I am glad the weather is warming up and I can break out the old Birkenstocks. If you have never tried a pair of these shoes or sandals on you should they are dreamy.

Well I have to go now, hubby likes Rice Krispie Treats. I think I will whip up a batch for him, he works so hard he deserves a treat.

Talk to you all soon
Chris
