Good Morning Girls,

Cath, Mare & me were @ Bee last evening. We missed everyone else...Jean, Mo, Lori, Lois, Leigh Anne, Peggy & Dolores. But, we had fun regardless. ; ) Did a lot of female-speak...talk about families, our roles, work, finances, & the like.

I think it important to support one another, not just as quilters, but as women. Sometimes we need to pause & take a little sip from the estrogen pool, to be celebrated & held up by our sisters. That may sound corny, but my soul is appreciative of what we share as a Bee. Thank you! : )

I have been SLOWLY working on my 8th BOM. I am un-enthused with the project, ie, tiring of it. Help me!?! I don't know what happened...

I am free motion quilting the baby TATW project! : ) And, I am pleased with how it is coming along. I'd like to finish the quilting SOON so I can get the binding on. We are going to Barb's over the weekend, & whip stitching the binding to the back would be a GOOD travel project. Wish me luck!

What things are you sewing? Are you still gazing @ fabric & patterns purchased from Lancaster...Dolores, be honest?! ; ) Has anyone started a new project, it is Spring after all?!

Enjoy your day. Aren't the blooms gorgeous? The flowering shrubs, trees & flowers add such brightness to our landscape after a long Winter! And, the twittering birds are a joy to hear! : )
Piecefully, Pam

Hi girls,
Sorry I didn't make it to bee last night. John had scheduled a meeting for us. I didn't pick the kids up until 8. Pam--I'm so excited to see your TATW. I hope you can get the quilting finished so you cand bind it on your trip. It's always great when it works out that you are at that point in a project and it coincides with your life!! Have a great day everyone!!

Hey...sorry I missed last night....game wasn't over till little after 8. Pam - you are correct about the support of other women. We're lucky to have our group. I've been in a funk with my projects as well...have a bunch that need to be finished/started - and I've been so tired at night that I can't get motivated. But, thinking about our group this morning, contemplating some of the things that matter and realizing that I'm lucky to be able to have such a wonderful hobby, is giving me renewed enthusiam. Hope y'all have a lovely day! May your projects coincide with your life, as Lori said. Cathy...hope you're hanging in there.....

I feel the need to gather us in in a circle for a rousing rendition of Kumbaya....




Sorry, just can't muster up the serious mode today.

Ladies, you all make me smile!!! When we got home this morning there was a message on our answering machine...they had the baby!!! A healthy baby boy! : ) I was HOPING it would be a boy 'cause I chose to do the outer most blocks in BLUE!!! This IS coinciding with life!!! I LOVE you guys!!! Piece, Pam
