well I got my little car out............slowly............there are some deep tracks thankfully I avoided those.........they will just be pools next rain.....which could be next week.........
and for those that ask yes our road is supposed to get graded..........
but it is rare and they are beyond a maintenance grade now and need some new top soil that is better also.............can't see that happening.............
BUT back to the story as I was getting ready to go Lianne @ Lianne Makes Stuff commented on a couple of posts............
the bell rung in my head.............wonder if she wants to meet at the new patchwork shop.........YES GIRLS you read that right..........NEW PATCHWORK SHOP...........The Crafters Cottage
normally this would be an hour away from me but I cannot go out that road with the road conditions..........and a creek in the way so I had to go the long way..........which would be twice the distance......couple hours nearly........but hey what's a girl to do......she's been stuck at home for a week and its a NEW patchwork shop.........Lianne says yes...........so its a play date all set..........
(it's roughly 1/2 way between us........)
so exciting.......its going to be a lovely shop..........she's getting fabrics in all the time...........and i like what she has so far...........threads and plenty of other bits and pieces that you need also..........plus some shashiko so I got one and sent off to my niece.........I must finish the ones I have before I buy another one.........
lovely wide backs which I rarely see (missed taking a pic of those)
I got one for my drunkards path quilt......
this is where I was supposed to go for a workshop last week when it rained and i couldn't go......
so nice to go and have time to check out the shop...........
for the wool lovers she also has a lovely wool corner............
Just to the left of the wool corner is the walk way to the classroom...............
the shop is nice and bright too........
After we did damage at the shop we enjoyed lunch together............
Was nice to meet Lianne and she's just as lovely as she's been on zoom........
maybe we can meet up again another day.........

CHURN DASH SAL UPDATE
Lianne's joining the Churn Dash SAL and she brought some lovely fabrics for her quilt......so that was fun........I got a small piece of fabric that could be a possible sashing.......
now until end of June will be choosing your fabrics and making the first lot of blocks........
I have started a list of names on the sidebar........it will turn into a linked list once I get time to organise it........there are still names to add to it but I have been busy.........theres at least 10-12 of us I think so far......I have some emails to reply to also..........
Keeping the love of blogging alive..........
Catch you later.......
