Isabella's Baby Quilt

When I got home yesterday I had this gorgeous baby quilt for Jennifer's Isabella waiting for me from my friends in my stitching group LDI. Here are pics of their blocks and the finished masterpiece that Deb created. We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. The pictures are beautiful but the quilt is even more so.

It is a beautiful sunny day here in Middle Tennessee, mid 80s and low humidity, can't get any better than that.

Christmas Shopping on Labor Day

We had a perfect 3 day weekend. The weather was gorgeous and I worked at the racetrack Saturday and Sunday so we shopped all day Monday. We made our trip around Nashville stopping at every TJ Maxx, Marshall's, Ross', Target, Penney's and JoAnn's we could find. Left home at 8:45 am and got back at 8:00 pm. Here are a few great bargains we found. What a great day we had!

Target -- flower water sprinklers

picked up 3 of these lovelies

TJ Maxx -- 2 angel birdbaths

and the best of all

a tiger rocker for Isabella's 1st Christmas

To make it an even better day, Jennifer met us when she got off work and shopped the evening away with us. By the time we stopped at Ruby Tuesday's for dinner we had filled up the trunk and most of the back seat. After eating dinner we all came home and collapsed.
