I made it today over to Millhouse Quilts today in Waunakee.  It is always so much fun wandering through that shop and I never leave empty handed.   I was very good though — I did not get even one pattern or book — I am really trying hard not to get any more of them for awhile as I have plenty — really.  Also as the grand-kids were in school today I was able to get some accomplished on the “So Charming” quilt that I started to hand piece on vacation.  I thought this jelly roll of Moda fabric so nice.  I don’t have it right here beside me right now – it is already in the suitcase for the flight home but I think it was the Chocolate line, but I could be mistaken.

Two different colors for the leaves on the "Little Brown Bird" quilt that I haven't even started yet but plan to soon.  I know have all the fabric that I need -- I think!  I did get a little more items but they are for my Dear Jane Secret Pal - I am in a monthly exchange group -- we do not know who our secret pal is but we send them a surprise package every month.  I found my secret pal her Christmas gift that I will put aside for a little while.

Four rows of "So Charming" put together.  I do have the other 3 rows of blocks sewed, but I need to put the white sashing on and sew them on.

I have been enjoying my time here with the kids.  We had a good day today and have two more days before their mom and dad get home.
