I am here, I really am

Ok, I know it seems like I have been hiding and I haven't done much recently, but that is not true. I have just been very busy. As the beginning of the school year is just around the corner. 

So, here is a wrap up for the past two weekends.

Last weekend I went to the Long Beach international quilt show. It was fun. Smaller than last year, but still fun. Here are my scores from the quilt show.

I did see some really great quilts, but I don't really want to post other people's work as I am not sure on the etiquette of that, if they haven't already posted it online or I don't know how to track them down to ask. 

I also stole ummm borrowed a book from my mom. It is I am really enjoyed reading it.

Now on to this weekend. We will start Friday. On Friday I bought these two books at the Border's bookstores going out of business sale. They were actually a couple dollars more than amazon, but I got to have them that day. So I picked them up. They have been on my want list for a long while.

I have also been doing making up my late blocks bee blocks and getting the rest of this month done too. I will post pictures on Wednesday. 

Oh and it has been a great month for me these last couple weeks on the giveaway front. 

Thanks Caitlin at  http://mcintyregirl.blogspot.com/ and Brenda, for the $25 gift card to Brenda's shop Pink Castle Fabrics. This is the stack I picked out. Of course I spent a little more than the gift card, but not much. 

Also thanks Randi and her shop fresh squeezed fabrics, I won the Joel Dewberry Heirloom fabric stack, which is so much prettier in person.
