Anyway, excuse the blurry pictures.
I had to run an errand today, so I decided to stop by the Quilt Loft, the new quilt shop in Upland/Montclair. I don't know which city it's in because the town borders are all jumbled up there. Sheesh, I'm a bundle of confusion these days, and I can't even blame it on drugs!
Anyway ....
I got to visit with a couple of friends there, and I did manage to leave a little bit of money behind. It's been forever and a day since I've been in a quilt shop. It was fun looking around the new shop.
This new Creative Grids Pineapple Trim Tool caught my eye. They had a display with the step-by-step sewing process.
It sure looked easy enough. I'll give this a whirl when I get the new machine set up in the new table so I can finally sew. I was thinking driving home that this would look great in the old Robyn Pandolph fabrics -- you know, back when she was with Moda. I'll probably choose a blue for the centers and then go from there. Lord knows I have enough RP fabrics to quilt the world!
The cutest little Sandy Gervais pattern, "Peak Color," using her Posh Pumpkins line. I love her little patterns. I've made several of them but none are quilted yet. At least I don't think any are quilted. Need to definitely get going on remedying that!
And I couldn't resist "All A Flutter," a Cotton Way pattern by Bonnie Olaveson. I absolutely adore Bonnie and Camille's patterns.
I had fun for the hour I was there. I need to do that more often!!

Ooooh - that looks like oodles of potential! I'm really curious about that pineapple tool. I love the idea of them but haven't figured out how to incorporate one into my decor yet since they're more traditonal than I am, but I probably just haven't met the right fabric. lol. I'll be very eager to see how yours turn out! :-) Have fun!
Looks like fun shopping! I love the Sandy G pattern~ she does have the cutest little patterns. There is a pineapple quilt in my future, just can't quite decide how I want to do it. LOL Have a good weekend!
oh lucky you I am starting a pineapple quilt now and that ruler looks good! ok that little Peak Color pattern is adorable , I have a thing for fall quilts and trees! I need that!
All a Flutter is really nice too and I know you have fabrics that would make that quilt NOW!!!!!

It's good to see you're back to your old ways! I love the pattern from Bonnie, it's really cute! I've always wanted to make a pineapple quilt but haven't jumped in yet. It's on the long list...definitely not the short one!
Great job on getting out! :)
Wish I had that tool back when I made my Pineapple...it took me 8 years!! And thanks for the heads up about a new quilt shop, in case I'm ever in that area nice to know.
