Two CO gals go nuts over bolts
#1
Hi Everyone,
It started innocently enough... :D I put lots of fabric up for sale last week. In the process of selling my wares, I 'met' a lot of wonderful people. One in particular noticed that I also lived in CO, so she inquired "where abouts?" It turns out there were just a few mountains between us - no problem. Boxermom aka Kimberly decided it would be fun if she came up for lunch to pick up her fabric from me. I was tickled pink, as I've never met anyone from this board before.
We had breakfast at a local eatery, then moseyed on over to Nuts and Bolts Needleworks just up the road a piece. Kimberly brought with her an awesome work in progress that needed a little something added to it, plus she had run out of one fabric and has searched everywhere, only to come up empty handed. Well, guess what? Kimberly found that and so much more today. Take a peek at her shopping foray, lol. :lol:
We had a blast and are looking forward to doing so again one of these days soon. :D
Happy sewing Kimberly!!

Enjoyed meeting Karla and her hubby and the food was great.
I felt like a kid in a candy store. Ok, so I went a little over board, but I had fun. I got some material to go with others I already had and yes even found the one I have been looking for. I can now complete my mother-in-laws quilt. I even got a great edging to finish it off. Thank s Karla for turning me on to theis store.
Below are pics of the material from our adventure today and some are with the mmatching material I bought them to go with.

Ok, so here is everybody's mission if you choose to accept.
I now need a pattern for the African one, I would like for it to show off the African material the most. Here is how much there is...
African - almost 3 yrds
Diamonds - 2 yards
All the rest 1 yrd each.
Good luck, I will be looking threw the possible hundred or so patterns I have also.
