I did a ton of shopping and working this weekend!
First, I finally finished the quilt I made for my Great Aunt Margaret in Oklahoma. Do you think she'll like it?? It is a 12 block, made from a pattern I found in Fon's & Porter's, and it is called the Kaleidoscope. See how the triangles inside each block rotate around to repeat? I LOVE THAT PATTERN!! The possibilities are endless. On a side note, see how I painted my living room blueberry? It is still growing on me. But most of the time it looks darker than that.
I also added a label on the back:
Then I went to Walgreens to get some much needed paper towels and John Frieda:
5.94*2 Viva Towels (6 pk) [15% discount]
5.94*2 John Frieda Shampoo/Conditioner [15% discount]
.50 Mouthwash drops filler

Finally, last weekend (2 Sundays ago), my church had a cookie exchange. I made my grandmother's buckeyes, and won a prize -- MOST TRADITIONAL. Kinda funny cause a lot of people I know have never had buckeyes. But they were delicious. I'll post the recipe at some point on my blog.

Dear Rebecca - I'm sure everybody's posting on the Board how much they love your quilt, but I wanted to do it here, too. I can't get over how different the fabric squares look from one row to the next, but still the same three main fabrics (at least I think so...). The white background is really pretty, too. I love white on white. Great job - and by the way, what's a buckeye?

1. That quilt is so beautiful! Quilting is on my list of things I'd looove to learn how to do.
2. Wow, you rocked it at CVS this week!!
Rebecca | January 8, 2010 at 12:13 PM
thanks you guys. hitenney - you're right, they are the same fabric.
kasey - thanks! quilting isn't hard try to find someone who you know that quilts and get them to show you. there are great books out too, and you need a good sewing machine

Rebecca - Are you on your blog at all? I survived the service charge on my check, but I'll be doing better in a week or so. It's almost Tuesday...are you holding on?
