Wilmington Road Trip



Connie, Cathy, Sally & Pat



Saturday we got up early and went down to Wilmington to the Quilters by the Sea 29th Annual Quilt Show.  They had a great very nice show.  We're standing in front of the Best of Show Winners.

They had a nice variety of vendors  - good shopping - and I bought myself a couple of birthday gifts to me.  

We had lunch at McAllisters across from the UNC-W Campus and visited a couple of Quilt Shops on our way out of town.

My viewers choice - 2 awards













Beautiful Applique & Hand Quilting - 4 Awards\



I got home just in time (well to be truthful - an hour late, as I misread the time on my daughter's text) to go out to dinner with Kathy & Jesse, Daniel & Emily and Marcia (John too) at The Flying Biscuit in Raleigh and Goodberrys after.

We met our new Pastor this morning, Rev. Trip Lowery. He and his family will be a very welcome addition to our church family. 

This afternoon, for my birthday, Shelly, Hannah and I went to cirque de soeil, Allegria, at the RBC Center.  It was wonderful - the costumes for this show were not as elaborate but the acts were amazing. 

Tomorrow - I hope to put the binding on the Arrow Star quilt.

 We had a fun trip to Loving Stitches in Fayetteville, NC yesterday.   After shopping, we ate lunch at Pierro's Pizza and Restaurante followed by desserts at a wonderful little bakery, Sweet Treats, just around the corner.


Batik Wall



We loved their display of batik fabrics, three double rows deep, arranged by colors!  Sally was excited as she has never met a batik she didn't like, esp. blue ones.  As you can see by the size of her bag  - lots of them went home with her.
