Christmas Open House

I hope to have pictures soon to post about the Open House. It is one of my favorite times at the shop. We had Kay’s delicious peanut brittle and a Ginger Chocolate cake from the cover of December’s Southern Living. Keep it up! This is now becoming a tradition.

Our Winter Newsletter is out at the shop. I will be sending it by e-mail as quickly as I can. I spent this morning hanging Christmas lights outside. It always feels like Christmas when I get the lights up. I just love coming home in the evening and seeing the house lit up!!

Friends

There is nothing more important in life than friends. Here at The Quilting Squares, not only are these women, employees and employers but a great group of friends that I am so grateful to know. I consider my life blessed to have these people in my life.

Advent Calendar

Counting the days to Christmas!

Marilyn Holder, a good customer, a great friend, and an excellent quilter, stands by her Advent Calendar she made for her grandchildren.

Santa was originally made for her children's stockings.

Marilyn recycled her orginal Santa and put it on her grandchildren’s Advent calendar. Way to protect the environment, Marilyn!

Our newest addtion to the store

What would life be without a fireplace at Christmas time? It even puts out alot of heat! We love it!!

Changing the look!

With the holidays coming, Kay is getting busy with cleaning and changing things around.

You have to make a mess to create beautiful venues!

Fridays Adventures

If this is your first time visiting our site, let me give you a little background. Kay is one of the owners of QS. Ned, Kay’s husband, is our webmaster. We have a daughter, Chrissy, son-in-law, Matt, and granddaughter, Abby, lives in Remton, WA. We have been babysitting for the past week. Chrissy and Matt was in NY celebrating Matt’s dads 60th birthday. They came home on Thursday. Chrissy had to work and Abby went to daycare, so this gave us a day to explore. We took Matt’s 1989 BMW. Just 2 old folks tooling around. FUN!!
1st stop- Pancake Pantry in Bellvue. Best blueberry pancakes. Yum
From Bellvue we headed north to state Rd2.
Wanted to go to the quilt shop in Bothell but had an oops with the car. Minor, stopped at Precision Collision Auto body to fix the front bumper skirt that had come loose. Jeremy fixed and did not charge us. That is what small businesses are all about-providing service and not expect to be paid.
Continued on into Monroe, had to stop at the CowGirls coffee shack. We had some “SexyCoffee” the gal was dressed in a bikini. Only inWashinton state.
Continued on down towards Steven Pass. We saw snow on the mountains. Beautiful!

2nd stop- Sultan’s. Bakery. Known for a special apple donut. But No Donuts:( Had some lunch but very bummed there were no aple donuts.
3rdstop- Old SchoolBBQ to pick up BBQ for dinner.
Continued towards home but spotted a quilt shop in Duvall. Had to stop. Training the BMW to stop at shops. Diane was the owner of the Duvall Quilt Shop. Bought some Halloween Alexander Henry fabric. very nice shop, check out her website Duvall Quilt Shop. Com
Last stop was Snoqualmie Falls. Breathtaking. Beautiful.
Arrived home awaiting for another Day of adventure.
