Yes, it was an amazing Saturday night.  I am not sure what was more decadent...the fact that I was surrounded by so many incredibly talented people, or that I was able to sip wine and eat food while around allllll of that fabric.  Ha...It was indeed a treat...

The weekends goodie bags was an added bonus...well you all know by now that I won the Go Baby fabric cutter the Friday night at modern stories...but the bags were filled with quilt kits by bernatex, aurafil thread...magazines...thimbles, fusible stuff, and all sorts of goodies...Fabuuuuuuulllous...

And then...there was Sunday Sew Day with my NYC Metro Mod folks..stay tuned for those lovely pics...and day of sewing fun...

Time Flys By....


So, I prepped, and prepped and prepped for their visit...and before I looked up the week flew by.  I am happy to say that lots and lots of cocktails were had by the adults in my house...."Salud" as it is called by the little one...

The little one assisted oh so wonderfully with the few items that I managed to work on last week.  He even helped with the placement of the fabric on my tree skirt.  No it's not quilted, nor has binding been added...and I am not sure it will survive in the manner it currently is in...but hey you never know...I like my fabrics and colors.   But, I have not gotten around to making the ornaments for the tree...
