The Quilt Shop of Deland ~ Shop Hop Part Three!

Lisa and I have both decided a NEW FAVORITE STORE.... The Quilt Shop of Deland!!

The people there are sooo wonderful...We really enjoyed spending time with the Store Owner Judy! She decided to teach us how to make Fabric Flowers and Yo-Yo's!! I cant get over how generous she is!!

This is us in our “Class”!!

Lisa finished her flower and then……. Oops It fell apart! We were all CRACKIN’ Up!!

I loved all of the Great Quilts in this shop!! There was so much too look at and lots of inspiration!

Each shop that we went to gave us a Pattern!! They were great... Here are the three patterns from the other shops!!

and then we went the the Quilt Shop of Deland.... This is what they gave us...

TWO Pattern, ruler, coffee cup, etc...

Both Lisa and I won the last Hourly Door Prize ~

We won a whole book of patterns designed by Judy Hansen (the shop owner)!!

She even signed them for us!

This is the quilt the book shows you how to make!!

Each shop was also giving away a basket valued over $100... Guess WHAT????

MY NAME WAS CALLED!! YIPPY!!

I agreed to split it with Lisa!!

I cant wait to divide everthing up!! I was so thrilled that we got to go.

I really liked Judy's teaching so I am looking forward to signing up for some classes at her shop and maybe even a retreat!! There is one coming up in September!

Shop Hop Part TWO!!

Lisa and I had a BLAST on Saturday finishing our Shop Hop!!

It was so nice to be kid free for a day and enjoy some GIRLY TIME!!

We enjoyed the Clermont Shop! The ladies were very nice and helpful!

Lisa WON the Hourly door prize and we were Thrilled!

Neither of us had ever been to that Shop and so it was very nice to check it out!

The drive to Deland was LONG…. So we stopped!!

We pulled over at the half way mark to stretch our legs…

Road Trip 101:

1. If you are going anywhere with Lisa and Lisa be prepared to stop every 30-45 minutes to pee, stretch, or both!!

2. If you are going anywhere with Lisa and Lisa and your in a hurry…. Choose an alternative method of travel.

3. If you are going anywhere with Lisa and Lisa…. Bring your sense of humor – You WILL NEED IT!!

We stopped somewhere in the middle of NOWHERE!! I saw the pretty field and HAD to stop!!

Then on to LUNCH... We ate at a cute place about a half of a block from the Quilt Shop of Deland!!

They had 2 For 1's!! Yippy!!

We were actually Shocked at how YUMMY the food was!! We really had a GREAT time!!

Then... off the the Next store!!

Shop Hop, Quilts and Process Update!

Today was the first day of our LQS (Local Quilt Shops) Shop Hop!!

This is the first one that Lisa and I have gone on together!! Yeah!

This is us at the Leesburg Store!!

We bought these great earing at the Leesburg Store!!

They are mini Rotary cutters that say "Quilter" on the handle!!

This is Me and Lisa in the Apopka Store!! One of our FAVORITE QUILT SHOPS!!

The kids like this store too!! They bring their books and play in the corner while Lisa and I shop!!

Stephen didn't want to come with us to this shop... Hmmmm I wonder why??

Alyssa and Kyle were pretending they were secret agents and this was their serious faces!! They were Crackin' me and the Employee's UP!! I was LOVIN' it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ More Updates ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is Jasmine trying to help me pin this Downy Quilts for Kids Quilt! I set it out so that I HAD to finish it!

I did pin it today. This is the one that Alyssa's Star's group was working on. I am just finishing it and quilting it for them. 

Last night I went over to Lisa's House to Sew for awhile...

We decided to cut blocks for our next QAL

I dont know why it took me SOOOOOO long, but I only got 7 1/2 out of 13 blocks cut!!

This is going to be a really cute quilt! We are using - Crazy Mom Quilts Star Quilt A Long! I cant wait to get started.... but first I have to finish Cutting my blocks!!

Here is my UPDATE on my Postage Stamp Quilt!! I cant believe how big it is!! It takes up Most of my design wall! I only need 4 more Big Blocks and I can start adding the borders! I spent over an hour at my LQS trying to figure out what kind of border I should do with this quilt! I think I might stick with something Light like a Tone on Tone, or Maybe a Solid Red, Or maybe a 1 1/4" Black Border and then a 3 1/2" Blue border, or maybe a 1" Cream & a 3" Blue Border. I need something to set this Busyness off. These are ALL 1 1/2 Inch finished pieces!! I LOVE THE WAY IT LOOKS UP CLOSE!!
