Duluth Survived Us!

We had a great time! took us 11 hours to get to Duluth.. usually takes 4 but we made a
few stops! Carol, Mary and Joyce in the second car said they felt like they were playing bumper cars with us cuz when im driving and see a sale sign LOOK OUT!

Quaint little shops in this historic school building in Grand Rapids

(sister Jana asked her husband to buy her this building..dang not for sale!)

one of our meal stops...

Crazy Auntie Mary kept us in laughing tears most the trip... 

gosh were our eyes red and puffy by the end of the night!

Jody remember these? we had them!

a few of my finds, which i needed really bad.. especially for

1.00 each. the tray maybe 2.00 

Stay tuned for next installment of Cobbler Road Trip !

enjoy your day!            jody

Cobbler Road Trip!

yep.. tomorrow the cobblers are heading out to the 35th Minnesota annual quilt show
in Duluth. we are spending the night and will be knocking at the doors bright and early Sat. morning! we all went a couple years ago and had a good time, stopping at every
sale along the way.. Daughter Angie will be taking care of my fur babes, so nothing to worry about except enjoying time with the cobblers and treasure hunting!
Look out Duluth, the COBBLERS are coming!

 

 

Enjoy your day!            jody

Goodbye, Sally Girl...

it was time to say goodbye this past Tuesday..After 16 yrs and almost 3 months. She was tired and ready to go play with Mark in the rays of the heavens. She will be missed forever..

The Cobblers were here!!

another end of the month evening of fun, food and show/tell...
here Joyce is showing us a quilt she made using her nursing scrubs and white pants!

 

Joyce had busy hands last night! 

 

Carol P needed some input on a quilt she was doing some

prim stitching on..

 

Carol P showing a quilt she had made and tied, using

a bit different colored fabrics than her usual! love it! 

 

love the backing too!

 

Auntie Mary and Carol ( away traveling )

had been on a quilt hop, so she was sharing fabrics and patterns.. 

 

i had to show my score this week... in a free box at a garage sale,

 this quilt top, using what seemed like dish towels and vintage fabrics.

outlined with blanket stitching and a great pair of cream color wool pants..

(forgot to take a picture)

 

 

so that's it with the cobblers for another month!

 

enjoy your day!                jody
