1st -  We have a few days break in summer camp sessions leaving me with an opportunity to SEW!  I am so excited and hurriedly make my way out to the studio.  Mister is working from home and needs quiet in the house so it's a great excuse for me to get the heck out of there.  Christmas in July?  Why not?  My Christmas blocks are calling and the little 1 1/2" squares for the large reindeer block scream the loudest.  Once I have it finished, working on group blocks as leader/enders, I move on to machine appliqueing several other blocks as well.  (I haven't pressed the reindeer block down yet but I promise, it is even all around.)

Row by Row Shop Hopping with Tammy

Oh my goodness!  I have a working car and after picking up a friend --- pointing it towards as many quilt shops today as I can.  Isn't that what you would do with a working car?  The theory is that all I am going to do is pick up free Row x Row patterns and perhaps a neutral or two.  My expense will be gas  and lunch.  Sounds reasonable right?  Let's go.

I drop Mister off at work and go straight to the Richland Sewing Center in Hurst, where I am meeting Tammy.  She is going to share in my adventure today.

I find a couple of the RxR fabrics that I don't already have and grab my pattern.  Two fat quarters -- reasonable exchange for a pattern.  I do love these little ducks.  Tammy is picking up the license plates along the way as well.  I may regret my decision not to do that.
