A drive out to Temecula! I'd seen this shop in the 2009 APQ Quilt Sampler magazine and I knew I would love it.
There was just loads of inspiration everywhere I looked and I loved it all. We enjoyed driving around the countryside as well.
In the evenings I did some applique stitching. I am very happy with how my starch prepped leaves turned out. I was worried that they would look and feel stiff but they don't - not one bit. I starched the wing too - should I have attempted the bird shape? I just appliqued it my usual way.I'm very excited to be going on a quilting retreat next weekend. I'm looking forward to all the time to sew with no interruptions.
Happy Quilting!!

San Diego, fun. never been but maybe one day. I remember seeing that shop in the magazine. I know that was fun. Love your bird.
I started my married life in San Diego almost 60 years ago. (we were from Alabama, he was a Navy man) so I have a special place in my heart for that city. I know it's grown alot. I always enjoyed going to the zoo. We lived on 1st Avenue not too far from downtown but I bet there are no houses at that location now.
Welcome back! Sounds like you had a fun trip. Can't wait to hear the details.
I love your bird!!!

What a wonderful way to spend a rainy day!! Your applique is wonderful, thanks for the report on using the starch, I thought it might have been stiff.

Someday I too hope to get to San Diego area of CA. I was born and raised in the Northern part and now completely living on the opposite coast of CA. The Quilt Shop is a BIG draw for me. Bet it was fantastic!!
Hey, just came across your blog. I've always been interested in quilting but I haven't gotten around to trying it yet. You're quilting projects look awesome. Looks like a great hobby.
