I went to the Dog Kennel Quilt show this last weekend. Isn’t that quite the name! apparently when they first started they met in an old dog kennel building! My how times have changed. They were celebrating 20 years this year! This is what greeted us as we pulled up to the house! Is that amazing or what. It is a small representation of some of their quilts over the last 20 years!

Labor Day Weekend is one of my favorite weekends of the year! Not because we have some great family traditions that we do, but because I have a personal tradition that I do! I go to Swiss Days in Midway, Utah every year. I have been going for years and I look forward to it every fall! We go up Provo canyon to get there and it is always such a beautiful drive because the leaves have started turning their bright and beautiful colors. There is usually a little bit of coolness in the air and it is perfect for shopping at all the different boutique booths!

My friend, Sue and I went to the Hobble Creek Barn Boutique in Mapleton. It was great to spend most of a day with a good friend! I have not been to this boutique in many years and it was a fun liitle place with some things that I had never seen before. We got several ideas for new projects as well as some great purchases. We went to several other stores and to lunch, it was totally a friend’s day out together and it was great to get away.
I love the metal and vintage things that they had outside on the sidewalk before you even go into the building!
We saw pumpkins, snowmen, americana flags, bird houses, framed mirrors,all kinds of jewelry, clothes, and of course yummy treats. They had a little bit of everything!
This was one of my purchases of the day. Does anyone know what I will do with it? Stay tuned for a project that is yet to come!
