Bee, birthdays and a much-needed boost!

Hello, ladies.....happy Friday! A fun bee on Wednesday - it seemed like a much-needed gathering all of us - life is going along at 78RPM (for us old heads) and I miss my 45's and my albums! Anyhow - we had cake to celebrate Lori's birthday which was yesterday - Happy B'day, Lor. Did the kids make you dinner? Lori was sewing the binding down on her nephew's quilt that she made on sewing day - very cool quilting with his name and USA. Nice job! Cathy is managing a tough school and work schedule while always maintaining her smile. Ryan Byrnes started his new job in the corporate world! Good luck to him. Pam is getting set to go to Houston on Tuesday - so exciting!!! And if that weren't enough, she's taking a class with Kaffe! Will she drool? Will she prostrate herself at his feet? Will Mama Barb need to drag her from the room at the end of the day - these questions and more will be answered in due time. Safe travels, Pam. Lois just got back from camping with George and her sister and hubby. She had a nice time - a cabin with an electric fireplace - all the comforts of home! See her show&tell below. And the trip to Seattle is booked! LA, we missed you - hope you had a nice dinner with your friends. Mare and Joe got back yesterday - can't wait to hear Italy stories. And Consuelo! OY! The big reveal - on sewing day, she made a quilt top while Cathy was there....but did she stop there??? Oh no! Look.....


Number 1 - layered with minkee no less.....and that's not all....



She made a second one! Also layered already with minkee....talk about Quiltmama pride!!! Way to go, Consuelo - seems like just yesterday, down in Brigantine, you told us we were all crazy for doing this.....and now, here you are.

And this is just precious! Lois made this for Donovan for Christmas - Lois - it is terrific! And look at his name appliqued in the middle block. He will just love it!


Thanks for coming, girls....hope you all have a nice weekend and I leave you with a big
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LEIGH ANNE - tomorrow - enjoy your day!!! Olivia is coming for a visit on Monday - what an awesome present.
Take care everyone....piece.

Hey Ladies...just to add to Jean's recap...Jean had an awesome quilt top finished. It was the snowball block with every other block alternating the light and dark fabric. I think a Pat Sloan pattern? Anyway we need to grab Jean's camera when SHE has show and tell so we can get her quilts on the blog also!!!
Have a great weekend-I think it's suppose to be beautiful!
