Another weekend that just flew by! I would like to report that I accomplished a lot this weekend, but that was not the case. I did manage to get the binding done on the Scrappy Tumbler quilt. This is cause for the Happy Dance because that means I have completely busted out my first UFO for the year!! Yippee!! I think this quilt is going to be a welcome addition to the family. Well, at least Sarge seems to think so!
Sarge cuddled up while I was sewing on the binding! I think he likes wool batting too!! LOL!
Looks nice on the couch…
Even looks nice on my table. Hmmm, thinking I might need to make another one!! π
My friend Patti treated me to a special dinner last weekend too. It was my Christmas present. She treated me to a Mardi Gras themed dinner at Southern Exposure Herb Farm. Southern Exposure is a beautiful and amazing place to visit. They do specialty themed dinners, weddings, cooking and decorating workshops and trips. It’s actually the beautiful setting for all of Edyta Sitar’s books. As I mentioned our dinner was a Mardi Gras themed dinner. It was so much fun and delicious. I forgot my camera, but Patti, thank goodness remembered her’s. We were greeted by vallet. When we walked in we were greeted with a drink called the Hurricane and seated. Our plates had these fun masks and beads!

Both of us, but our pic is a little blurry.
We sat with four other people at our table. It was fun to meet new people. We met a few ladies that were quilters too!! Southern Exposure is so beautifully decorated in a French Country style.
We ended our evening with the most delicious Bourbon Chocolate Cheesecake!! All the ladies were also treated to a long stem red rose.
Naughty, but oh so good! Notice the tablecloth…it’s a quilt! Looks almost like French General. We had such a wonderful time. Thanks Patti!!
Looks like you had a great weekend. What fun you had with your friend. Thanks for that link. I'll have to check the place out. I love quilts on a table, don't you?
Sarge really looks comfy. I think dog like our quilts as much as we love them.
That dinner looks like great fun. Love the tablecloth.
I love your tumbler quilt on your table. That is really a beauty and congrats for cranking out your first UFO!
I was wondering where Edyta's quilts are photographed. Thank you for sharing that tidbit. The gardens are what drew me to her books! Such lovely photography.
Looks like you had a great time there and how nice of your friend to come and treat you:)
Sarge is adorable!
Your quilt is lovely wherever it is used.
What a fun time you had … love the pics!
Hugs,
Donna
Love your tumbler quilt the colors are wonderful! Isn't Southern Exposure just the coolest place? I've always meant to take a class there just to experience the food! Looks like you had a lovely time.
I'm sure Sarge thanks you so much for the cozy quilt. :o) What a special treat with your friend.
Sarge is such a doll! My dogs love to sit on my quilts when I am sewing the bindings on. Your Tumbler looks fantastic! I am going to have you use wool on the quilt I am sending you. I think it would be great with the flannel's and wool applique's.
That must have been a fun evening! What a unique experience…..we don't have anything like that here. Sarge does look comfortable and happy π Congrats on a beautiful finish!
Congrats on finishing your UFO. Looks like you had a good time at the Mardi Gras dinner. Love the masks. Hugs.
It was a blast, we were treated like queens. We will have to try out other specialty dinners. Since we do have such a unique place like that so close, we should go there more often.
Your quilt looks wonderful on the sofa as well as the table so maybe you do need to make a second one π Great job. Looks like you and your friends had a terrific time at the Mardi Gras dinner ,looks like fun .
Sarge puts a smile on my face! What a fun outing the Mardi Gras dinner sounds like it was! Love dinner parties with themes!
Thanks for becoming a follower on my blog. I am itchin' to do some stitchin'…but stay tuned to see why I am putting it off for a few more weeks.
Sounds like a good time! I agree that Sarge likes the quilt. π He looked awfully comfy.
I am just catching up on my blog reading. Sorry I missed this earlier! Looks like you guys had a great time. I would love to go there sometime and check it out. Your quilt is so beautiful. I love how Sarge is curled up in it! Just great. I really want to try a wool batting sometime, so thanks for giving some nice info about it!
Your quilt looks even more wonderful in use that when you showed it before. Your dinner sounds like it was great fun and that cheesecake? Woww.
Sarge just makes my heart sing…I'm not showing this photo to my own sweet pooch- he'll get ideas!
Your dinner looked wonderful. What a great theme- and the dessert is making my mouth water!
Now Patti is a great friend! Sure looks like you two had a blast! I'm with Sarge on your gorgeous finish, Linda! You'll have a hard time keeping him of the warm and cozy wool!
Cheers!
Such a sweet picture of Sarge..and the quilt is Sarge approved!! It's a beauty….and a UFO done–that is cause for a happy dance!! Your evening out looked like so much fun.
