This week I made a new piece with a free design by Cheri, from her Facebook group, Quilts by Cheri, friendship group. The original is done differently, and I wanted something simpler, so I kept the design on one piece and did it as a pillow.
The finished design is 9" x 12". I made up a drawing of my version and you can find it in the files section, as well as, numerous old designs and new ones that Cheri has shared with the group.
I also had a gift certificate to the Quilted Crow, and I finally used it. It only took a few months to make up my mind. I got Wool & Needle flannels to add to my collection. I have a pack of fat quarters that was gifted to me, then I got some yardage but I needed some lights to balance it all out. Now I am ready to plan a quilt with them. I also got some extra Seasonal Gatherings birds, have used all that I had and love using it in Christmas pieces. The check it to go with the sailor piece, that a friend sent me, it will be used as a border for a quilt in my beach room. And I treated myself to a couple of patterns, one for the beach room and the preprinted stitcheries I got as a treat since I loved seeing the ones done up and want to make some of my own.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. We have weather coming in, so not sure if I will get beach time.

Lovely choices for your shopping spree Debbie. You finishe the pillow nicely love how you made it all one piece.
Have a lovely weekend, we had a great sunny afternoon and more daffodils coming into bloom along with some crocuses.
May the sunny days come with more frequency to all of us.
I am so glad to hear someone else has trouble spending gift certificates! It takes me forever! But I can spend plain money with no problem!
