Today was a housekeeping day. Hemmed a couple skirts for the dog shows that I have been putting off for weeks. That helped clean up the work space a bit. Then visited the sewing machine dealer who sells cones of thread for nearly half price. Picked up 3 cones and some extra bobbins. I needed some dark red thread to quilt the tablecoth that I made from the homespun stash that I purchased last weekend. Hopefully I will finish it this weekend and can get a photo. Then off to Obie's Country Store in Goodville for fabric to finish Lynn's quilt.
About Obie's - if you are ever in or near Goodville PA you MUST see Obie's. For many, many years I believed the sign that declared Obie's Country Store, then someone clued me in that the place is stacked to the rafters with fabric...mostly quilt fabric. Today I found Obie's even more crammed than usual. If you can't find something to love you may be color blind...LOL. I did worry about an avalanche back in the corner where the reds were stashed, but I made it out alive. And the prices are awesome. I picked up some 108" wide medium dark blue marbled backing at $6.99 a yard.
Off to a dog show tomorrow. Wish me luck.
