As part of our mini stay-cation, we spent the night at #barefoothillshotel in #dahlonega. We had a beautiful sunset and sunrise view from our private balcony. The next day we went to Neel Gap so my daughter could “hike” the Appalachian Trail. Then we went to Brass Town Bald, the highest point in Georgia. The view was spectacular for an August day. You could see the ridges in North Carolina and Tennessee. Lots of fun! #northgeorgia #northgeorgiamountains #brasstownbald @barefoothillshotel #staycationWe had a mini stay-cation last week while my daughter was home. We did a little shopping one day, then the next day, we went to the Georgia Aquarium. Then we went to Dahlonega for lunch and then to Wolf Mountain Vineyards for a tasting and an afternoon spent looking over the vines towards the mountains. #wolfmountainvineyards #georgiaaquarium #northgeorgia #northgeorgiamountains #dahlonega #desotofallsgaMerry Mini quilt top finished! I added sashing and cornerstones, then used two partial charm packs to finish the outside border. Very happy with the results 😊 Thanks @fatquartershop for the SAL. All fabrics are from different #hollytaylorfabric lines. With these fabrics, I’ll be able to use this quilt all winter. #merryminiquilt #merryminimysteryquilt #christmasinjulysal #christmasinjuly #showmethemoda #modafabrics #winterquilt #winterquiltsIt’s the first day of @jacquelynnesteves Happy Little Things Free BOM. Instead of making a quilt this year, I thought I would make a few small pieces, some to use and some to display. .. First is a little pin cushion using this month’s embroidery and applique design. Love those tiny buttons, charms and pins that Jacquelynne has in her shop to match. Fabrics are @corianderquilts #sunnysideupfabric and #essexlinen. Used a DMC floss package curated by Corey from @fatquartershop. .. Next is a mounted flat finish using Jacquelynne’s Bitty Blooms designs. I used @vonnapfeiffer finishing techniques for this one. Used Aurifloss on this one. I’ve had it displayed on my kitchen nick nack shelf all summer. .. Check out my blog (in profile) for tutorials and more pictures and how you can win a great prize package from @olfacreates (last picture). #happylittlethingsbom #HappyLittleThingsQuilt #dmcthreads #aurifloss #showmethemoda #handembroidery #embroidery #stitchery #blockofthemonth #fullyfinished #pincushions #mountedflatornamentfinishFollow on Pinterest
