Big Sale Season

-
Went into town today to see all the sales, in France it is sale season twice a year.  They have specials, during the year, but the big sales are in January and July or August. 
My wallet didn't smoke, and I didn't say like Wilma Flintstone, "Charge it"
I went to the English tea store to get some tea, and he had his Christmas decorations on  sale for 50% off.
Oh my,  a Jim Shore  Santa, well, a good buy, he came home with me. 
I just love the things that Jim Shore does, the animals and angels, santa's, all dressed in Patchwork squares.
What a nice self present for a quilter.

Oh by the way, I forgot my tea, but did get a cup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Today I can say "thirty years in waiting"  is finished I had made a queen size quilt with these fabrics and I missed it so that I had started another but put it away for a rainy day.    So happy that I found the box many years later and was able to get it finished at last!! A nine patch or simple irish chain, so off I went with my box, and this is what it turned into.... I am so pleased, and it is big enought to use on the dining room table. I have a few squares left, maybe enought to make a place setting or something. The quilting design is from My Creative Stitches  Monday Patch Vacation time is over and we are back to our art!! Two of the gals have finished their giant wedding ring, one is ready to be quiltied and another is alread to go on the table.  Quilting in lines, it turned out really nice. Another double wedding ring but traditional  still lots of pieces to sew, but it is going to be beautiful ! Someone is starting her birds, ravens...
