Bad Melisa....


This is a picture of Melisa of Sweet Home Quilt fame.

But first, I will begin this tale with events of yesterday. I left work yesterday and headed down to Conyers in search of fabric for the quilt to be done at "camp" next month. I decided I would use 4 fabrics from the line "12 Days of Christmas" by Moda. Purchase in hand, I headed home. When I checked my email last evening, there was one from ( you guessed it)...Sweet Home. Melissa reports some new jelly rolls have just arrived....how did I miss them?
This morning when checking emails, my friend Gretchen has forwarded the aforementioned notice and says she sees a trip to Conyers soon. I guess I need to go too. And I am out of the house early in order to get there because I have an appointment with Sarah and Emma to go shopping. I pulled into the driveway at 10 on the dot. I beat Gretchen by about 15 minutes!
In the picture above, that is Melisa the Temptress. How innocent she looks...looks are deceiving! The shopping bags belong to Gretchen and me. AND both of us need to make another trip because some of the jelly rolls did not arrive when she unpacked the box.

Now I really, really need to finish the baby quilt as Nicholas arrived last evening. I should have been at home, quilting instead of lusting after more fabric in Conyers! But then again, Gretchen was supposed to be sewing binding on 3 quilts that she picked up this week. I hope she accomplishes her task. I must say, I was quite impressed with her list of gotta haves that she brought with her this morning.

Glad to see you helping the local economy. My daughter had a baby shower in Newnan today so I just had to stop by Heritage Quilt. They give a birthday discount 1/2 of your age, the week before or after the special day!! I was 56 on Wednesday so I got 28% off my total order. Better than the tax free holiday.

What a fun morning! You shouldn't be impressed with my list....it's sick, sick, sick planning all those projects. I'll blame it on the heat (and Melisa!) See you there again later this week LOL!

Blame me if you must...I'm a big girl and I can take it! But where else besides Sweet Home can you have so much fun with so many great people?!?!?
