Great Fun to meet Barb from Bejeweled Quilts Blog

You meet the nicest people when blogging!    My sister and I had a great opportunity to meet Barbara from Pago-Pago American Samoa this week 'cause she was in San Antonio for a few days.  We met at the Red Robin near Six Flags Fiesta Texas and had such a wonderful time.   She is such fun and pretty too!   She brought us the cutest little bags she made with beautiful tropical fabrics tucked inside.   Thanks, Barb.  Her blog is http://bejeweledquiltsbybarb.blogspot.com/   and if you don't follow her, you are really missing out.  

We thought it would be fun to take her fabric shopping, so off we went to Jo-Ann's Super Center to spend some money.  

All the pretty silk flowers made a great background for picture taking.  Barb's on the left and my sister, Jerre, on the right. 

What a wonderful time we had!  And all thanks to blogging! 

"BIG KIDS" & their Halloween Costumes!

We had our Annual Red Hat Halloween party yesterday at a restaurant called the Time Machine.  The waiters & waitresses are always in costume and it's especially a fun place to go for a DIGNIFIED LUNCHEON for older ladies! 

Here is Patches the Clown, one of my quilting friends.  She has different "PATCHES" costumes for different events, and for Halloween she is scarecrow.  She goes to nursing homes, children's hospitals, etc., to brighten others lives!  She is a member of our Tied Together Quilt Bee.

We had a couple of San Antonio SPURS cheerleaders, a college graduate, witches, Raggedy Ann, Saloon Girls,  an Indian, a nurse, Red Riding Hood passing out the candy is our Queen...........  lots of Red Hat Witches, A Construction Worker, A dancer.

This is our Pirate Waiter showing off his "hot buns"!

                                                                                        Witches, witches, and more witches!

A fun time was had by all us DIGNIFIED LADIES!

SHOP HOP GOODIES!

My sister & I went to 3 quilt shops on our local Bluebonnet Patchwork Shop Hop yesterday and had a good time. There are 12 different quilt shops participating with 3 of them being in the Austin, TX area and 9 of them in the San Antonio area. We hope to go to some more of them on Saturday. For every shop you visit, you get a FREE fat quarter! Here's a picture of the ones I got. Also got a pattern and a couple yards of some unique novelty fabric.

Fun Day with my 2 Sisters!

Fun Day with my 2 Sisters today!

Okay, so we had some errands to do today, but last on the list was the fun one.......MEMORIES BY THE YARD Quilt Shop...right here in San Antonio. It's my favorite shop and just had to take my Wyoming sister to see it and also pick up my Angel BOM.

Didn't want my Brother In Law to be bored & disturb her pleasure, so I stopped & got him a big coffee and a newspaper, as I knew there was a place for him to sit in the shop. They have a cute section in the store with the old fashioned "ice cream shop" tables & chairs. He was quite content while the "3 sisters" shopped 'cause the owner of the store got him a piece of German Chocolate cake to go with his coffee. They really know how to treat the husbands/men right....so us gals can shop, shop, shop!

We had a great time........and no better way to be together! Quilts, fabrics, sisters. Now, that's a great combination!
