To me, that's worth cranking up the oven to 450 degrees
on this already hot & humid day.
And in between the flower cutting and the bread baking
there's a little sewing going on in the Studio today.
I've started a new crib quilt, but not my own design this time.
Because I'm working with a very limited quantity of fabric,
I felt more confident choosing a design for which

I had to pop in on opening day, Friday,
and clearly I wasn't the only person with
that idea - Renee was swamped!
Just look at my loot:
Above, a few of Renee's hand dyed rovings
(I see mittens in my future. Thanks Mary!)
Check out the original art work on the labels,

Every girl needs a new / another (what's the difference?)

tasty treats & a rockin' good time.
Don't miss it!
