A start on a new quilt! The pattern calls for a layer cake however I would like to use up my ever growing pile of leftovers. The process will be much slower going this route....but I hope to reach 3 goals with this method.
1. Unload some stash
2. Stay on our LOW budget to pay off the hospital bill
3. Have a cute quilt for all my efforts
I received two of these Coin Zip ID wallets from Vera Bradley for FREE after making the purchases before vacation last week. This one is the new "Lilli Bell" line, cute right? SOOOOO how about some blog candy?
Super quick post as I am headed out the door to pick Kara up for the day. We are gonna cram a whole lotta living in one day, breakfast out, Discovery Place for Kids, grocery store for Easter dinner supplies, followed up by Easter egg decorating with all the grands in the afternoon. Plans for tonight....aspirin and early to bed!!!
Here's the deal to get a chance to win the cute zip ID wallet. Share with the rest of us your DREAM girls only vacation. Is it just a dream or are you saving up and planning for a getaway? Do you have a girls only dream vacation in your head for the day when you feel you can do a getaway from the family? Maybe a girls only staycation? Nothing better than sharing that dream with others, seems like once you share your dreams they really do begin to come true!
I will pull from the comments on Easter Sunday so get your name in the hat!!
My dream would be a day of thrifting and lunch out with my sister-in-law.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
Sounds like my kinda day Gayle but I would have to add a nap in there somewhere!
DeleteWow, can you share some of your energy with me?? Pretty, please:).. I'd love to go somewhere warm with my sister- beach, sun, blue water and palms...Oh, I wish...
ReplyDeleteYou SO NEED to plan a trip with your Sister!! No energy left in the old body today but it was so fun!
DeleteHave a great day- Sounds like a busy one for you. Love that new Vera Bradley pattern, too! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThanks Nana, hope you guys had fun at Dollywood. If I would have know we could have had you over for some tea and girl time. That is if you could drive up the Mt. in all that snow!
DeleteLOVE that fabric you're using!! It's looks soo familiar... ;) Think I have an AWESOME bag made from that! Love that little wallet!! Hope i'm a "Lucky One".
ReplyDeleteMy ideal girls weekend would be lots of live plays & shopping without worry about $$!! lol!!
You have a good eye for fabric!! Ha, yes it is leftovers from your bag and a few other projects. I am all in for the Plays but forget about the shopping, I HATE to shop!!
DeleteMargaret River in WA with my lovely SIL Sue and her equally lovely SIL Toi. That is a dream, maybe just maybe.
ReplyDeleteMargaret River, I have never heard of it, google here I come. Hope your dreams come true
DeleteGirls getaway? Never thought of one as I don't get away with hubby nearly enough! But, if I were going to dream of one, it would be a weekend at a spa...complete with massage, nails, hair, facials, etc. AND of course, wine and chocolate. :)!
ReplyDeleteSounds good Sharon, except the massage. I don't even want to take my clothes off for a shower these days, (too much chocolate over the winter I think!)
DeleteI would love to go Sisters, Oregon for the quilt show with my quilt buddies and buy whatever struck my fancy. Maybe some day. Love the little Vera Bradley coin purse. I use a well loved and worn one now to carry my lunch money in at work. I would love to win a new one.
ReplyDeleteA quilt show with friends sounds wonderful!! Buying more fabric...not so much I already have too darn much!! Ha
ReplyDeleteIt would be a few day, go two days befor the quilt show and stay a day or two after, to do some extra sightseeing, It would be my sister sis and I.

I so enjoy watching your quilts for together
Thanks Lilac, sounds like a great vacation to me!
ReplyDeleteMy DD,s and Daughter in law went to Santa Fe a few years ago and would love to do it again. It was great fun.
ReplyDeleteDebby, loving your Meet the Neighbour Quilt you have been at too, but then again I LOVE all your makings material or food.
ReplyDeleteMy secret girl get away for a chance to win your colourful Blog Candy would be warm, lots of fantastic sights to see with quaint little nooks and crannies of shops to duck in and out of. Antiquing with a close friend would be perfect in some sweet little town with yummy luncheons and dinners that would be worn off by all the exploring of neat shops. I really don't like shopping but antiquing is different isn't it? My ultimate get away would be with my hubby, we are way long overdue, but a girl can dream of lush New Zealand terrain can she not? Happy Easter to you and yours, Debby with many blessings. x
Debby, love seeing all your quilts and all the love you put into your life. My dream get away with the girls would be head to Smoky Moutain National Park with my gf Yvonne. It would be in mid April so we would have lots of flowers to see, then we would check out several small quilt shops and scrapbook stores in the area. Since we are coming from Toronto we would stop at my lovely quilt shops, antique stores, etc on our way down and back. We would also stay at beautiful cabin while in the park area.
