Hiya Girls,

Jean - were you able to baste your LARGE class quilt today? I was thinking of you! I will be going to the Guild meeting on Monday, weather permitting. Should I come over to your place & we can go together? Is anyone else going?

Mare - I usually get home from work around 0900. I'd sort of like to have breakfast with Scott before flying out the door & down the Shore for the weekend. I can be ready by 0930'ish. Will that work?

Cathy - thanks for volunteering to host QM's this week. I THINK I can be there...?! It depends on our schedules & the weather.

Mo - I have no problems with beef stew or any of the afore mentioned vegetables. I think the only vegetable I don't like is brussel sprouts - they're just plain nasty!!! Why did God make them...?! Thanks for offering your culinary skills & services! I am looking forward to it! : )

Should I plan on bringing something for dinner on Friday evening? I don't know what?! This week I've been un-inspired in the kitchen. I think later this week I will be making pork & beef bar-b-que. I brought that down the Shore once before, any interest? Does it sound like something everyone would like to eat on Friday evening (how many of us will there be on Friday?)? If not, I NEED suggestions, please!!! And, the potential exists that I may make a chocolate cake with PB icing too. It's to DIE for!!! I would need to bake it in 2 pans, so that Scott has some for the weekend too. : ) What projects is everyone bringing to sew?!

I think I'm not starting any more BIG projects. I want to finish up the things I've started...I want to work on hand quilting my Square in a Square, make a jacket, work on the sweatshirt jacket, I need to make a sewing machine cover for Barb & may make one for me as a trial first, I have a baby quilt in the works & some others in my minds eye that I'd like to do, there's Scott's Halloween quilt that I'd REALLY like to work on (the next blocks are going to be applique & I need to decide just HOW I'm going to make them...?!), & there's the Kaffe Fassett Pastel Bubbles quilt that I started a couple years ago & tossed into a bag 'cause it didn't pass quality control. Sounds like I have LOTS to sew!!!

I do have my next BIG quilt in the planning stages though. I have ideas & sketches in my notebook! : ) I LOVE TO QUILT!!! : )

Have a good weekend, ladies! Deborah, are you in Paris yet?! Have the BEST time!!! : )
Piecefully, Pam
