I must tell you that mine has been challenging, to say the least. My back is never great, but after the drive down last Thursday the real monster that lives there, reared its ugly head for sure. I have been in treatment all week with my chiropractor and just now feel like I may be able to drive back up North, early tomorrow morning.
Enough of the whining an on to something on the fun side.
Yesterday I crossed over the bridge to Portland to meet mom, sister, daughter and grands at Fabric Depot, one of those rare mega fabric stores that have everything.
I didn't feel up to standing in the cutting line so I found a nice offering of fat quarters and chose some that suited my fancy.
On the top of my sewing list, and a long list it is, I have 'make potholders' in very large print with stars and exclamation points all around it. So this fabric will be making a trip to the machine so that I can get that one marked off.
After all of the little threads are clipped and a proper pressing has been done, I will share the finished product and we will be having a 'Giveaway'! and off a new pair of pot holders will go, winging their way to a new home.
Let's say that next Wednesday will be the reveal and start of giveaway, that will give me plenty of time to pull it off.
I will say so long for now and wish you all a very happy weekend...Fall is just around the corner! xo

So sorry to hear about your back. We once had a Dodge mini van. It never dawned on me that a car seat could cause back problems until we sold it.
The pain disappeared immediately!
The fabrics are bright and charming!Can't wait to see the pot holders!
Wishes for safe and pain free travels back up north!
Thank you for popping in to visit, Sherri B. Blessings to your Mom too!

Can't wait to see your finished product!
I love fat quarters and other bits of fabric... so much fun to see what you can do with them! Of course the last thing I need is more fabric... perhaps on my staycations this week I'll get the sewing machine out and use some of it up :)
Hope the back is doing better,

Sorry to hear about your back, hope it gets better soon! Cute fabrics and it sounds like you had a nice visit! Happy weekend:@)
Happy Weekend to you too, Sherri! So sorry to hear about your back. I hope you can cope with sitting in front of your sewing machine. I've had back problems in the past, and often the only thing that relieved the pain was lying down.
Oh Sherri, I will be praying about the back problem.
I was amazed that you meet your mom,sister, and grands. It's beautiful of life that you can see altogether.
I love the fabric, and cant wait to see.
Yay! Giveaway! :) who doesnt want?!
Safe trip when you back.
Blessing,

be very vereeeeeeeeeee nice to your back, don't forget the effects of chemo can affect EVERYTHING for quite a while afterwards and backs especially like to have a bit of a grumble that they've had to support you through thick and thin :))) xx
I loved my walking foot when I was making pothoders!
Awww Sherri, I hope your back feels better. Back pain can be so painful.
I see some fun and pretty fabric.
Looking forward to your pot holders. Enjoy your week-end. xo Linda
Back problems are the worst!
I love that fabric! I am not a very good seamstress. I am afraid of my machine! But I need to get it out to fix my slipcovers, which need a panel replaced in the back. Courage!!
I am from Portland - I love to visit there! I have a sister and two brothers who still live there.
Sometimes I stuff a rolled towel at the small of my back when I'm driving. Doesn't always do the trick, but anything is worth trying.
I love the way the colors in those fabrics work together.
Hi sweet friend! I am just now getting around to visiting blogs - I am so sorry to hear about your back! I hope you are continuing to recover and I'll be praying for you.
The fabric you chose is darling and I can't wait to see what becomes of it :)
Love and hugs!
Beautiful fabrics and so glad your back is feeling better!! Hope your weekend is going wonderfully! xo Heather
Love the fabrics you chose! I do hope your back is feeling better as well...:) Also wanted to mention that blackberry pound cake a couple posts ago looks heavenly! Oh my goodness how I wish I had a slice!
Blessings, Vicky
