birthday loot...

my birthday was last weekend...
as in september 3rd...
not yesterday...

i was very successful in my birthday winnings...

yes.. you are seeing correctly.  i got a new SERGER!  i am such a happy girl.
this ol' girl and i have many plans!
many many plans.

on another note.  after MONTHS of good intentions and foiled plans i finally went to my very first modern quilt guild meeting on thursday.  it is held at the Quilt Barn and it was really fun.  i met a couple of girls that i think are going to be such fun to get to know...

 Heather is the owner of the Barn and she was kind enough to let me do a little shopping after the meeting... 

so with my birthday money in my back pocket

i got this little stack...

the top print is by robert kauffman.  

it is called prom.  

it is going to make itself into a couple of these.... 

on saturday we trucked the whole family out to go to garage sales and i hit the jackpot!
i spied a sale listed as such... "Attention Quilters"
"who! who! what? what?"

yes dear...

 i love you...

 for taking me...

 and not getting too grumpy...

i feel i did have some restraint... my pile could have been much bigger... much much much bigger...

so here they are... my serger and grace...  they are getting along really well so far.  i really do not see any fights or arguments in the future.  i think they understand they are supposed to be best friends...
