This is my latest progress on the Stay-At-Home-Robin a group of us are doing over at sunny-quiltingdreams.blogspot. Isn't this cool? I can't believe it's coming out so nice. I really like raggy quilts and they're especially nice because you can 'fudge it' when things don't come out perfectly and no one notices.
And I managed to squeeze out one more pot of hazelnut coffee from the bottom of the bag. Doin' the happy dance here. So I'm back to nursing the last again. But....I'm determined not to give in and make the coffee company any richer so when this is gone, it's back to the tea.

Nursing The Last Cup Of Hazelnut and More Pictures From the Quilt Show
Here I am up too early and enjoying my last cup of hazelnut coffee. Yes, that's right. It's PROBABLY the last hazelnut coffee I will brew at home. Unless, of course someone gifts me with a bag of it. (hint, hint, family members) The problem is that the coffee brokers had gotten my ire up. I went to my local Wegmans supermarket last week and, lo and behold, they had reset the coffee isle. That wouldn't be a bad thing except for the fact that they have eliminated the large bag of a certain brand of hazelnut coffee and the small bag they still have on the shelf (only 11 ounces) is suddenly $5.19. Armed with that information, I proceeded to check out two other supermarkets close by. One did not carry this brand at all. And the other one was charging $5.99 for the same sized bag. And yes, there are four other Wegmans stores in the areas that I pass through from time to time and before I give up totally I will check them out. (Not all branches of this store necessarily stock the same.) I even checked out this brand of coffee on the brand's website. Errrrrgh! Even more expensive. So in all good conscience I refuse to pay the higher price.
So it looks like I am switching to flavored teas. I have quite an assortment of them that I've accumulated, plus the pretty new teapot I acquired this summer. I suppose I'll have to make a teapot cozy. You saw that coming, didn't you?
Now I've vented my frustration about coffee which, of course, I don't really need, I'll treat you to the last of the pictures I took at the quilt show.
So many of these wonderful quilts had embellishments. I know these pictures don't do them justice so you'll just have to use your imagination. Enjoy!
