We made it down to OK with no incidents. We left about 9am and didn't get there until about 1am. It was a long day! But we had 4 drivers with the 2 vehicles. We got Holly all moved into her new apartment and then Emily and I flew home the next day. Wheh I was tired! I got to see the St. Louis arch, although it was rainy when we went through there. And we had to stop in Vinita, OK at the one time -
World's Largest McDonalds. Nothing too exciting, but it was 10pm and we just needed a stretch. It no longer is the largest since some other countries also claim the largest and there is also another
one in Orlando that makes that claim. But the one we stopped at did have a small display about Will Rogers.
I got some more table runners done! This one is for Holly.
And my sister's.
And a small one for my mom's kitchen counter and some mat's made from the leftover triangles!
And look at the tiny birds who flew away the day we got home.
When I was over at some friends house the last weekend with my sister for an unbelievable evening of visiting (we laughed so much!), their 3 little girls had the living room all setup as a nursery for their bitty babies. It was so cute I couldn't resist making them some doll quilts this week while I was here. I delivered them today and they just LOVED them! You should have seen the 3 yr old rocking her baby all wrapped up in its new quilt (in the 90 degree weather)! Anyway, I thought they turned out pretty good considering I only had my featherweight with me so layers of flannel and batting didn't feed through the foot easily! Each one was slightly different so they could tell them apart, but alike enough so there were no fights!
Also made a few more fabric purchases. Last year my mom asked if I would make a quilt for my brother, which he LOVED. Well his wife has been joking with her all year "when am I going to get my quilt?"! So we went shopping for a pattern and fabrics for her this year. We decided on a pattern called Kitty Kitty (I have no idea why) and I guess she loves lavendar. So we got all this beautiful lavendar fabric for it. I also found some adorable christmas border fabric for some table runners for xmas gifts!
My sister and her family got home last night and today we took my mom to a new candlelight dinner theater to see Oklahoma. It was wonderful and the food was just as good! I had never gone to a dinner theater so that was fun. And of course Oklahoma just makes you tap your foot! The talent was amazing! The 3 of us had a wonderful time - yes we kept husband and kids at home! This was a girls day out! I"ll be sad to leave on Tues! It has been a very relaxing week!
