The kids and I spent most of the day with our friend in Petaluma, where we had a great visit and great food, walked a lot, admired some gorgeous old houses, and even managed to hit a quilting shop which was conveniently on the way to lunch. 😉






I managed to leave with only two small notions I needed, and a small “scrap bag” that I merely wanted.

Confession: when I peeked in the bag, I’d thought the top fabric was deer, so I was a bit surprised later to find that I’d chosen dairy-themed fabric! Maybe I’ll make things for my family back in Wisconsin, eh?
My friend also gave me this incredibly adorable insect-themed fabric! I’m pretty sure it’ll become cute things for kids.
Phew! That was a long day, but totally worth it.
