Thanks for your comments, GJers! calamity...I'll be looking forward to more pics of your pond! Sounds so intriguing! And with your mosaicing skills, I know it will be a work of art! Glad you got your blog in now...keep posting pics, please! sunny...plastic sounds like a great idea (except for when I have to take it off the pond...DH will help, of course, but I can just see me dumping the paint chips in the water! Ugh! socallie...nah, not everyone in Iowa has big yards. We live on an acreage that had nothing on it but 6 acres of trees, mainly. We've been here 40+ yrs & made it our own...(but there's ALWAYS work to do!) You know Kevin Costner's (my fav line), "Is this heaven? No, it's Iowa." (Field of Dreams, 1989) We love it here! Marlene...our pond cleared up recently...we buy start-up to help get it balanced...and we do using "blu-ing" in it for shade until we get more plants growing...should be able to buy floating ones now. Thanks! Jeanne S.

Will someone kindly explain the Fab Shop Hop to me?

I can't say I get the idea of an online shop hop either. However, the real life one in my area starts next week. It's fun. It goes from the southern part of SoCal below San Diego out to the desert, way up in the mountains and north not too far below Santa Barbara. Aside from finding a lot of interesting quilt shops, I saw a lot of SoCal that I had previously missed out on. This year I'm doing it in a hybrid car with navigation. Can you say YAY?! I can -- YAY for not getting lost and YAY for saving gas! I got the new car because last year I took out the bumper of my old car in a crowded parking lot at one of the quilt shops. Fortunately the Cash for Clunkers deal came along at roughly the same time and this year I have navigation! AND this year I'm on the hunt for a particular color of blue batik to finish my lambies quilt so the hop comes at a particularly convenient time. The real life shops have interesting things like demos, games, prizes, food and each gives you a free pattern with a small package of fabric for assembling it. Each of the sub-areas (our huge area is broken up into 4 sub-areas) designs a themed little wall hanging size quilt from the free patterns.

Waffle House or those 'others'!
Q
Comments (20)
There used to be a Cracker Barrel nearby but I've never been there. The closest one now is probably 40+ miles away. Don't have a Waffle House. Been to IHoP once and I guess it was OK but not impressive. Certainly not cheap as I recall. I do still like Perkins and there's a couple of Denny's that are very good but around here, Denny's really varies from location to location. I've discovered a few local restaurants that are really good. My favorite, or at least current favorite is a little family-owned place not too far from where I live. It's off the beaten path, in a residential neighborhood so they don't get a lot of "freeway" traffic. They rely a lot on seniors and cater to them. I joke that there must be a retirement requirement to enter because I think the median age of customers must be about 65. Yep, the parking lot is filled with Buicks! Several things about them impress me. They have senior portions and prices for most everything. Have good specials and daily specials. It's clean. It really reminds me of a small town diner. And one BIG thing that impresses me, they have a counter but it's table height and uses the conventional chairs used at the tables and they're well padded, solid and comfortable. They serve some of the best American Fries I've ever had. Most often I order the hamburger steak and eggs with American Fries and toast, with coffee and tax comes to $8.61. Portions are very good on most everything. Sometimes the senior portions are the same, though I imagine that depends on the cook. There's another little place that has a variety of weekday daily specials and my favorite there is the 2 eggs, toast, 5 strips of bacon, a huge portion of potatoes and with coffee and tax it too is $8something. There's cheaper meals available at both places. I enjoy a good big breakfast to start out the day. A hearty breakfast lasts me all day too. I'm not a 3-meal a day person normally, though I know I probably should do that more. Speaking of that. Maybe I should head out and grab breakfast before work today! :)

August Quilting Goals

I'm so sorry, Rita. Having an injured hand is just the worst because it affects all you do. I hope you recover soon. I didn't think I'd get any quilting done this month. I've dumped old things, taken loads of furniture to thrift stores, torn out stuff, replaced light fixtures and painted following the death of uncle. The paperwork has been daunting. Thank God for lawyers and accountants. Just looking at a sewing machine was rare. But, my best quilting friends took me to a fabric store and I'm finally waking up to what was important to me before all this happened. I actually put a border on a wallhanging last night and am preparing to quilt it. So, I might get something done after all. I'm also finishing the last of 4 redwork blocks hoping to have them ready to assemble at retreat. Just gathering stuff for retreat has gotten the juices flowing again. I think I will survive this. Can't believe it's almost September.

Thank you, it isn't my usual choice but wanted to try it and the occasion happened. Yes, I did quilt it but looks better at a distance then up close, I am not happy with the binding but was in a hurry so machine stiched, prefer hand sewing them. The appliques in the corners have their names and date. Jayne

That's just such a bright, cheery quilt. I love your colors. You inspire me to drag out my piles of blocks I've never assembled and put some together. But, then I'd have to quilt them and I'm not in the mood.

Your GD will be so proud of this one.

I just love the square in the left hand row middle square....can someone tell me the name of it?

This pattern came from the last Fab Shop Hop and the name of the block I believe was "pincushion flowers". It isn't a hard block. The flower heads are 'a sq in a sq' to form 4" sqs.--then it is just a nine patch with 3/4" strips for the stems and 2 small leafs. These were fused in place and appliqed down.
I can't take much credit for the color selection as I basicly followed their pattern using my choice of fabric with a little alteration of the colors.

It turned out great! It is a happy quilt to look at. I have the patterns saved and hope to make one with the fairy frost FQs I have had forever.

Are they doing a quilt sampler on this month's Shop Hop?

Jayne,

I collected almost all of the block patterns for this shophop quilt, but missed a few. I especially wanted the pincushion flower pattern. Would it be an infringement to share it? If not, could you please email me the pattern? I planned to fill in the missing blocks w/other flower patterns that I have, but haven't found one just like the pincushion one - & buteau3rd is right - it is neat!

Thanks in advance,
~Cindy
