Good Morning Girls,

It's a sunny, warm Summer day! I hope you are enjoying it. ; ) The Summer seems to be zooming by. How does that happen...?!

So good to see everyone last evening. I needed a bit of Quilt Mama juju. Thanks. : ) How 'bout ALL those origami finger majigs?! Funny how those things bring back childhood memories long forgotten? How easily they are recalled though, and then they trigger others too..."My Mother and your Mother were hanging up clothes. My Mother punched your Mother right in the nose. What color was the blood?" Makes me smile. Thanks for reminiscing. Thanks Joanna...I think!?

Jean - your QM "banner" is WAY fun!!! And, your current completed Table Runner of the Year is AWESOME!!! LOVE your little hand stitched Tumblers too. I like your use of brights!

Lois - you WIN!!! Your hand applique Aunt Millie's block is TERRIFIC!!! What will you be working on next?! Besides painting...or Bunny Hops...?! ; )

Mo - GREAT idea about a QM Swim and Sew. Keep us posted about dates & details. We'll stay tuned. ; )

I have LOADS of sewing things planned today. I MUST get a label made, the quilt basted, quilted, make binding and then bound for the new baby next door! I had to spend a bit of time sleuthing for the label information. I feel a little bit like a quilt detective. ; ) I have to make up sewing samples for my next Flower Pots class @ Cloth and Bobbin on Sunday, then prep for the other Flower Pots class on Wednesday too. I MUST clean my Gertrude machine!!! I'd like to do some practice quilting (thanks Jean for the sandwich!). And, last, but certainly NOT least, I want to do some hand stitching on my Flower Pots class sample blocks! I think I've figured out a way to handle the butterflies that I've been stewing over. Wish me luck!

Piecefully, Pam

P.S. It's confirmed, I am scheduled to take a class with Kaffe Fassett in Houston...!!!

The Bunny Hill blocks are killing me...

Howdy Girls,

Wednesday sounds good. Do we know if we're to bring any (sewing) things along?!

Jean, thanks for answering Lois' question. I didn't have a clue?!

Here's what I was doing this afternoon. I altered my block a tad. There was one similar on the Flickr group and I liked it. So...sew, I did my own twist too!

Enjoy your evening and have an amazing tomorrow!
Piecefully, Pam

WOW!!! A week seems like a l-o-n-g time...?! There is SEW much to catch-up on. Thanks, Jean, for blogging in my absence. I appreciate it! ; )

I did a bit of hand stitching while in Lewes. It felt glorious! I don't know what I'd do if I were unable to sew some every day.

Jean, how are your post card blocks coming along? You worked on them while in Cape May, right? Is that a Bunny Hill pattern?

I looked @ the CUTE Bunny Hill BOM for July! Adorable! I have to print it out & get busy! ; )

Here are a few favorite photos from our trip. Nothing spectacular, but they make me smile. Hope you enjoy them too...

Hello, girls! Another beautiful day....hope you got to enjoy it. Pam, Peggy and Lori are having a lovely week weather-wise. A small but mighty bee last night - myself and Cathy! She was looking lovely, having come from the salon. We caught up on everything, I think. Kerry is one busy young woman! The pink baby quilt is adorable and she got some great buys from the pincushion boutique. I finished table runner # 3 in the 'year of table runners'. Safe travels to LA and family who leave on vacation this Saturday to trek up and down the east coast. These summer days are just marching by and I'm trying to savor each one. Hope you are too....take care and as Pam would say, 'Stitch when you can'! Piece.....

I know Peggy and Pam are away this week - hope they are both relaxing and having a great time. Missed you all last week....what's new? I'll host on Wednesday if you want to come by. Mare - please bring Joanna's fabric abd we'll cut if you like. How was the bachlorette party....did Consuelo behave? Any dancing on the bar? Details are needed! Enjoy the day and hope to see you on Wednesday...piece.
