Since finishing my Highland Coo quilt I’ve felt like I’ve been in a slump. Then Thursday I went with my daughter and my husband to go pick up some feed for my daughter’s fowl. We stopped in Imlay city. To walk around. Wouldn’t you know it there were 2 quilt shops there right across the street from each other. I gave up buying fabric for Lent (😭😭😭). The Happy Little Quilt Shop had a line of fabric my friend adores, so I sent her photos and bought some for her.
They also had the cutest Corgi named Oliver.
The shop across the street was called the Pincushion. I found a pattern for a quilt that uses a panel in the at shop. I’ve had this particular panel for awhile just awaiting a pattern to bring it to life.
We ate lunch at the Hog Town Tavern in Melvin.
Yesterday, I spent the entire day with that same daughter making jam. Strawberry, cherry and mixed berry. We made 5 batches. It was HOT work but look how good it looks!
This was one of the mixed berry jars (cherry, strawberry, blueberry and black raspberry).
I also got to see some baby button quail.
Just what I needed to help ease me out of my slump. I dug out a quilt I needed to bind. More on that later. It’s nice to spend time with my family!
