Fall Break and a Layer Cake

Our family took a little Fall Break Get-Away this past weekend!!
We had a great time and enjoyed a little shopping and a little relaxation.
We found two wonderful quilt stores.

As you can see below on the cute little bag, the first one is called
The Cherry Pit.

It's located downtown Sevierville, TN.

If you're ever in Sevierville or Pigeon Forge you have to check out this awesome store.
I bought a new pattern for a table runner and some cute fat quarters in fall colors. Also, two tea towels that I hope to get appliqued with pumpkins and turkeys.

The next store doesn't have a website but it's equally wonderful!!
Machine Quilting by Iva!

I was so excited to get home with this "Layer Cake" that I forgot to take
a picture before ripping the ribbon off. It's called Gobble Gobble by Moda.
The colors are gorgeous!! Rich golds, browns, burgandy, and oranges!
I've already started piecing these for a surprise gift quilt.
Can't tell you who just yet.

Oh, and we did enjoy some R&R time!!!

LOG CABIN QUILT

This Log Cabin Quilt is an Eleanor Burns "Quilt in a Day" quilt.
This is my one and only queen size quilt and it's made with lots of love and mistakes. (:
It's machine pieced and taken to a long arm quilter for the quilting.
Everyone in our house loves to snuggle under her!
