TGIF!!! Finally....

Hello, ladies.....so nice to see everyone last night. Lois - we missed you. Hope you and George are well. A raucous group, I must say.....see what happens when we don't meet for a while! Lori - thanks for hosting - the addition is just beautiful!!! All of the rooms are terrific - but I think we all liked the sewing room the best(well, I did at least).....really nice. We'll be expecting lots and lots of show & tell at future bees. Your purple quilt for your friend really turned out nice - the striped binding is just perfect. Cath - such a cute Halloween tablerunner. And I'm sure the girls were drooling over the Bliss. Sorry you're a little banged up these days. Dolores - the wedding quilt is just spectacular! Those colors are stunning - she will love it. Pam - I think you might have had your applique block with you - I'm sorry I had to duck out and miss it. It looks beautiful on the blog. And, may I say, I just love the haircut - it really suits you. I'm sorry if I missed you talking about your new job - I hope it's everything you expected and more. LA - thanks for the insights on the McCabe dinner table conversations - awesome!! Mare - sounds like you're enjoying hanging with Kevin - that's so cool. Consuelo - nice to see you - and looking forward to the upcoming Disney movie about Matt's football career. Hopefully the Quiltmamas will get a shoutout! So many things to talk about and such a short time......but it was a nice 'shot of estrogen' to see you girls. Have a nice weekend.....we need the clock to slow down a bit when we meet. Take care....piece.

OY! Over a week....

Hello, mamas! How is everyone? Can't believe a whole week slipped by. What's going on? Did I hear correctly - did Matt score a touchdown in flag football on Friday - against St. Denis? Congrats, buddy!!! And I saw Sean McCabe in the schoolyard at lunchtime today - that still doesn't seem possible. He is the same age as your quilting career, LA! Hey - how did your sister like the Olivia quilt? I'm sure Olivia enjoyed her first birthday party. Is Kevin enjoying being the king while the other kids are at school? Lois - hope you're feeling better - she and George both had a nasty cough. How are the schoolgirls doing? Cath - I guess you have the computer all to yourself now for your homework. Mare - how is Kevin - and how do you like hanging with him during the day? You must be having a ball. Consuelo - how are things? How many days/hours are you working? Dolores - how is Joe Byrnes? And how are you doing during his recovery? Can't wait to see the wedding quilt you made. How many others have you cranked out? Lori - the big day is approaching....Did you give Fitz your gift list? You're only 50 once so don't skimp - ask for the big stuff!!! Pam - you've had some super weekend weather for the beach. Are you getting used to the idea that it really is your house?! Hope you're enjoying the new job. Can't wait to hear about it. I went up to the Oaks quilt show on Friday - ran into Cathy and Lori. It was very nice. Lots of amazing quilts. Cathy got some Bliss fabric - it's really beautiful! We were talking to Liza Prior Lucy. Pam - she was saying good things about you! Lori has kindly offered to host on Thursday night - tours of the addition will be on a first come, first served basis! Enjoy the rest of the week, ladies. Hope to see you Thursday - between volleyball matches. Piece....

Happy Fall!

Hello, girls.....it may be near 90 but fall is here - school is back in session. Anyone else put out their fall quilts?

Hope you all had a nice labor day weekend. Stopped to see Joe Byrnes - Dolores is taking good care of him. How was everyone's first day? Mare & Cathy - you're back, right? The college students must be all settled in nicely? Everyone else? Talked to a very cute girl in my office yesterday - who looks amazingly like Cathy and Mike - she's loving it....seems very happy! Does Sean start kindergarten next Monday? Good luck, little man. Pam is finishing up her Bryn Mawr College career this week. Good luck! Saw the beachhouse pictures - just adorable!!! Sorry I wasn't able to host this week....next week is not looking too good either - I've entered a volleyball universe and I can't see my way out... and I don't even have the Sacred Heart schedule yet. I'll keep you posted about next week...unless someone else wants to have it....enjoy this lovely day. Hope to see you all soon.....piece.
