This busy week is almost over. I enjoyed my visit with my friend from Illinois. She used to live in North Carolina but moved back to Illinois a couple of years ago to take care of her dad. It is her home.
She is also a quilter. We met in the quilt guild. So one day while she was here we visited the quilt shops. She did buy some fabric and one shop was having an anniversary sale which was nice.
Before she left she gave me this lovely wool table topper which looks great on my small round breakfast table. She also made this travel wallet for me. She is very talented and has made some really fabulous quilts.
My husband is off for the next four days. Not sure if we will do anything special for Independence Day. One thing we will be doing is dog sitting a black Labrador who belongs to some friends of ours.

For those of you who live in the USA enjoy your Fourth of July weekend. Hip Hip Hooray for our Great Country! With Passion,
