I have finished the Captain America quilt top. I am just looking for the right opportunity to snap a picture of it. Because it's so large, I think I'm going to need to find strapping volunteers (Mr. Goofin' Off and Mr. Goofin' Off, Jr.) to hold it up so I can snap a picture.

| Fabric Choice for Quilt Talk Mystery Quilt |
Since I finished Captain America, and the mystery is still a ways off, I pulled together some stash and scraps for a Project Linus quilt. The block I am using is named "Old Favorite" and comes from the book "501 Rotary-Cut Quilt Blocks" by Judy Hopkins. I have made a few small changes to the block, but I wanted to keep the original name of the block part of the quilt name. I have named the quilt Chef Freddie's Favorite. Can you guess why I named it that?
This little froggy reminds me a bit of Kermit for some reason. Maybe it's his sunny disposition...or his eyes.
On the 4th of July, while the family was all enjoying time together, my niece said she had craving for nachos. (There is a hint there of a surprise to come on girls' night.) We set a date for the next week to meet up at Azteca's Mexican Restaurant for some girls' night Nachos Azteca and Taco Tuesday. I was the first one to arrive. While I waited for everyone else to get there, you'll never guess what I spotted on the wall in the waiting area.
I've never noticed this before. I am not sure if it's new or not. How do I always run into these things? Or are there more Disney lovers out there than I think there are? This really was a fun find.
Despite the noise in the bar, we had a great time eating and catching up. During the evening my niece that got married last month announced that she was expecting a baby. Woo hoo! No wonder she was having cravings last week. I am sooooo excited for her and her family. There are so many exciting things coming up in the Goofin' Off extended family. I am truly feeling blessed today.

Here is an update on Mickey and Pirate Friends cross stitch piece. The white of Goofy's eye is just beginning to show in the middle on the right side of the stitching. It should start to become more recognizable with every update from here on out.

To take advantage of Taco Tuesday, we had to sit in the bar. It was pretty noisy in the bar, but, hey, $4.50 for three tacos it was worth it. We ordered two helpings of nachos to share between the seven of us. I don't think there was anything left of them when we said good-bye.

Do you ever have girls' nights out with friends or family? Sometimes I wish I could have a girls' night out with my blogging friends and family (and I do think of you all as friends and family). If we had a girls' night out, where would you want to go? Let me know in your comments...and because this is just for fun, so the sky is the limit.
Have a magical day, my friends!!!
