Yesterday I went and did a little shop-hopping with my partner in crime ...aka Nanette.We started out early at Material Girls where they crowned us Queen for a Day...(along with everyone else there!)...they were WAY BUSY!!!
Then we went to Quilts Etc and lastly Pine Needles before we did lunch.I did a little bit of damage in the way of a few fat quarter purchases.
And I bought a couple of pair of cutie pie flip flops from my cutie pie niece Sara at Material Girls...and a cute necklace that Nanette and I are modeling above.
Nanette treated me with a really fun vintagey gift....she knows what I love!...thanks nanette:)
Whoooops....let me take it out of the cellophane wrapper so you can see all the goodies.
Fun huh?....I think the 3 ballarina's are me, Nanette and Nadine.......lol!
Now for the little trip away part....I'm packing my bags for a get away with my friends Rae Ann, Nedra and Suzanne ...plus 2 more friends that I havn't even met yet...Judi and Jackie.
Quilting supplies ...plus some embroidery.
I have 5 quilts all cut and ready to go...yes...I said 5! I plan on getting alot done while I'm in the beautiful Star Valley, Wyoming.
Here's a sneak peek at one of the projects....a cutie pinwheely vintagey kind of block.
Sooooo....I am taking a little blog-cation and I promise to catch you up on all of the happenings at the cabin when I get back....TTFN!

I saw that cute picture of you over on Nanette's blog. I think you look like sisters!
And now you have 5 quilts all cut out? Last I heard, there were 3. I think we will see smoke coming off your machine and fingers! Knowing you, they will all get finished!
I can hardly wait!!!!
Oh that sounds SO fun!! Way to be all prepared (with your 5 quilts already cut!) Have a great time. I love your block and those Material Girls really go all out! That is such a great idea!
I remember those ballerinas. I had them on my birthday cake. It's kinda sad when your childhood is already "vintage". (;0)
Have a wonderful get-away. Sounds like fun.
Love that photo of the two of you...Priceless!

I knew the name on Nanette's blog sounded familiar! You must have had a great time! Here I can not even imagine having quilting shops like that. And then imagine to have several near each others. WOW!!!
What a fun post. Have a great time on your get-away!
I really like that pinwheel block. Looks like you all have been having a great quilt month.
Enjoy your quilting retreat and time with friends! Looking forward to seeing your projects when you return.
Have fun! did you two plan to wear the same color clothes? Such a cute picture of you two
Thanks for stopping by!! I can't wait to see what you make on your retreat. Guess I'll have a new Lori addiction.

I was at Pine Needles on Wednesday too...I ran into Kim...it was great fun. I was on my way up to SLC to the FHL. Have fun on your retreat!!
I just found your blog and love it. I did some of the same shops in the shop hop last weekend too. Weren't they fun. I had a blast anyway. I originally came for the Hexagon flower tutorial and just keep going. (partly cause of the music too. Have a great day.
I loved reading about your adventure with Nanette at Material Girls and the other shops you hit - sounded like so much fun! I love Material Girls - I go in there with a few things in mind and come out with entirely different things! And patterns!! I usually never buy patterns but that store reels me in every time! So happy you get to be in Star Valley!!! It's one of my very favorite places - I want to be buried there - or under the front gates at Disneyland - can't decide which! Have fun and I hope you're getting time to quilt! xo, Nan
Lori,

Lori, not that you're not busy enough, but we were looking through your patterns to see if you have a 4th of July one. Any plans to design one of those? You're amazing!!!
