~Mail!~

I joined the Fig Tree Club at The Quilt Shoppe ~~ Julie at jaybird quilts sent me! :-)) and I am so glad she did! It was just the little nudge I needed as I'd been debating about it for a while. Thanks Julie! :-) ~~ Anyway!~ my pkg arrived!! :-) Oh I just want to shove everything aside and play in these fabrics! I should have taken a photo of how nicely it was wrapped, but I was too excited to stop my fingers! LOL They sent along the issue of Fresh Vintage and I have read it from cover to cover~ three times already! :-) So many cute patterns/ideas in it! I'm in love! :-))
In other news~ I stitched on Mr Turkey's feathers last night~ I'm making progress! :-)

And as I was hopping around blogland I saw this post by Rachel at p.s. i quilt. I never thought of plate racks for displaying quilts, but isn't it cool?! How do you display your quilts? My friend was asking me that question just this weekend! I have them on the beds, of course, on the back on the couch, folded at the end of the loveseat, on the tables and hanging from curtain rods. I have this little rod in the hall. It is adjustable~ I can pull out the end to hang a full quilt. Or use the little clips to hang a few... I think I need to dress it up with some ivy or garland! It looks so bare! :-o So tell me~ where do you display your quilts? That's it for now~ I'm off to sew today! I need to finish a few things before I cut into my lovely new fabrics! ;-)

Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!

Gorgeous fabrics/patterns, and wow! What a great idea for hanging/displaying quilts!!! Who would have thought!!! A plate rack! Really!?! Love it! 8-)
I like the way you are displaying your small quilts too! Great idea!!! I don't really have much to display in the way of large quilts, but the small ones I have hanging on walls from cut branches from the yard, and on a shelf/curtain rod my hubby made...
Happy stitchings!

I love your rod in the hall with those quilts hanging on it. They look like miniatures? So cute.

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
