I fell in love with the first Weeping Cherry tree I saw ! I had never seen one like this before . This is a " CHEALS' WEEPING CHERRY TREE " with its bright double flowers and a trunk that has shiny peeling coppery bark on it. It was love at first sight !
Hubby planted it for me today next to my bridge and added some river rock to go under the bridge.
Finished my Red , White & Wonderful quilt top made of Roman Holiday fabric by Moda ! I call this Roman Holiday because I was so lucky to find this fabric on Ebay a few weeks ago , it has been retired for quite some time. Oh how I love this quilt ! I went together rather quickly except for the mitered corners. Measures 57 1/2 " x 57 1/2" . This is going to be perfect to display at chirstmas time. I want to thank THELMA again for sharing this pattern with me. I have always wanted to make a red & white quilt. Another quilt I would like to make one day is a black & white quilt.
I cut all of my fabric Tuesday and made great progress piecing on wednesday.
I have been working on my Red, White & Blue Wiscasset quilt the last couple of days and I am hoping to have the top all sewn together today. As you can see I only have to finish the pieced sashing on the 2 sides and then sew all the blocks together. The picture below shows what I started this project with. Well I just was not happy making this quilt with only 9 blocks SO I made 25 blocks instead & I love it. I guess you would call this Madeline all grown up ! The dark blue paisley will be my fabric for the outside border and the beige fabric with little red circles will be my small inside border. The white with blue paisley square you see there I have chosen for the backing of my quilt. I hope to post the finished quilt top Monday morning ! 
The first night we saw " KA" at the MGM and it was AMAZING! 
The next day our friends took us for a drive and surprised hubby with 3 races on a indoor raceway. The 2 of them had SO much fun ! You see these 2 guys grew up together and have known each other since kindergarten Cool Huh ! Now don't they just look like professional race car drivers ? 
The second night we went to "Aria ". Believe it or not there is a resturaunt in there ! 
When we went ARIA where we saw " VIVA ELVIS " also a CIRQUE DU SOLEIL ! WOW! Another great show ! 
When we got back home our kitty " Smokey was not eating ! We took her to the vet the morning we were supposed to drive down to the SF bay area. You see my girls were giving hubby a b-day party that day and we had most of the food , drinks etc. Smoky had a 103.9 fever and after running lots of test it was decided she had a infection. We brought her home and drove straight down to the party that was at 1PM and we arrived a 12:59 . 
We had a wondrful time with all of our family and special friends. As you can see hubby is a big SF giants fan and he just loves this Jersey our future son in-law gave to him . 
Look what the mailman just brought me !!! The gift from Thelma and The Fat Quarter Shop ! The gift for being the first person to complete there Eventide quilt top. My gift was that I could choose any layer cake I wanted . I was like a kid in the candy store looking thru all of the layer cakes they have in their wonderful shop. It arrived today in a big box and when I opened the box this beautifully wrapped package was inside.
I finally chose GRACE by 3 Sisters for Moda! This fabric is gorgeous in person ! I want the thank Thelma again for hosting this wonderful EVENTIDE sew a-long . It was SO much fun and I know that I would still be working away on this amazing quilt if it was not for Thelma. Also Thank you to the Fat Quarter Shop for sending me this wonderul fabric.
