Dates, Truffle Fest, and Sewing
This weekend was FULL of adventures out into the cold.
Thursday night we decided to go to P.F. Changs rather than make dinner. Friday night Joe was the featured winemaker at a Truffle Fest dinner.
I can't even remember what we were all laughing about. These two are paid for their meals.
These two are visiting from the NE, the one on the left is a food writer and the one on the right is a film producer, her film was featured in the festival earlier in the afternoon.
We went down in to the cellar.
Joe had been before and here's where he signed the wall:
I am not a foodie and Joe told the chef that I didn't like fish, so they took that as I was a vegetarian. In the end, I left hungry so I got some real food :)
The photo below on the left was taken when we got home, the photo on the right is from a quick trip into Portland.
On Sunday it snowed the smallest, most wonderful amount. I cozied up with my coffee mug from Michelle, Farm Girl, and I got to sewing.
Lunchtime visit to Speckled Hen Quilts
There are three, I say again THREE quilt shops within a 5 minute drive from my office.
At lunch today, I went to Speckled Hen Quilts in Aurora, OR for the first time. The shop is a little building behinds the owner's house.

I had this saved on Pinterest. The link led me to a photo on the Shepard's Bush Blog. I called and ordered the kit from the shop.
Liberty Modern Hexies Project Bag
I made a Liberty of London modern hexies project bag. I ordered the Liberty fabric as a set of 38 charm squares off of Etsy. I also used a scrap of Liberty that I had for the lining. I had to line the hexie fabric with featherweight fusible so that the seam from folding the fabric over didn't show through the whisper thin fabric!
I used 1 inch hexagon paper-piece pieces and I glued them down with Aleene's Fabric Fusion to Moda Cross-Weave in the color black. I quilted the bag with 40wt off-white Aurifil thread and used a 30 wt Aurifil for the top stitching. The zipper is Coates from Joann and the vinyl is 12 weight from Wal-Mart.
