Here's another view. It was quite the process blending 2 patterns together to make a young bride's dream dress. 
I finished all of the quilts I need to take with me & am mostly packed. I guess it's been really hot in Fremont, 100 degrees a couple days ago! This Nana doesn't dare. Can't wait to see the Birthday Boy! 
She talked about feathers in this space. I'm better at leaves, so a leaf wreath seemed perfect. 
The borders are sometimes a challenge for me. I think I need a pedicure.
She found the pattern in this book from 1988!
Got a chuckle when I read who the publisher was.
I also has this come in the mail last week. I saw the frowny face & wondered what that was all about.
The message inside was "Rain , Rain go away. Better go to a movie!" I can do that. Thank you Secret Pal for the nice surprise! Hmmm, a self made card. Who could it be?
I still have a couple quilts to wrap up before take off tomorrow to Nanaland. It's hard to believe our Little Mister is 2 already. I'll be sure & post while I'm there.
Down the street from this.
And saw this. Be still my beating heart! I almost had to pull the car over. Could it really be a Cupcake Store?
A closer look & yes they are going to have hard ice cream too. Dad craves hard ice cream sometimes & this will be a close place to take him.
Joanna & I are crazy about cupcakes. We have our favorite cupcake blogs. Seattle's
Mr S & I are going to the Harvest Jubilee today. Fun, food & local farms.

Wanda from Heartbeat Quilting brings batting to Innovations for us to buy. It's great because we save the cost of shipping. There was just one slight problem. We were parked several levels down from where the batting was. Leave it to Jenny & Pam to come up with a great solution.
They were parked on the first level of the parking garage & the batting was in the parking lot on the roof. Pam dropped 5 rolls of batting down to Jenny. She did a fine job being very careful to drop them on the side & not crush the tube inside the roll. They loaded theirs into the van & then came across the street to get mine down to me.
I parked under the Convention Center 3 stories down from where the batting started. It sure was easier than carrying the awkward roll down stairs across parking lots.
I'm sure you are asking yourself, Why didn't they just move their cars? Wanda went down to get batting certain times during the day & we would've had to find another place to park & pay more for parking!
Laundry & quilting are calling. Later! Sharon
These are the Honey Glazed Walnut Prawns. One of their house specialties.
Pam ordered Spicy Siamese Noodles. You can order your spice level preference, so don't be afraid! Jenny had a delicious Green Chicken Curry.
On the way there we passed this. hello, cupcake
Isn't this bike cute? 
Of course every cupcake store has a cute cupcake girl!
Trying to decide which ones to get. Luckily they had little take out boxes. 
On the way back we had to get our batting. It's a whole post of it's own. I'll try & get at it soon!
