Good morning, girls. It's been raining all night - some amazing lightening and thunder last night. Our lawn sure needed it. How is everyone? Tuesday's night's sprinkle was great! Thanks to Cathy for hosting us. Leigh Anne - hope you had fun! I'm just glad the secret is over - whew! I almost blogged a couple of times about the quilt. Dolores - we missed you. The little outfits you bought were adorable. Hope you're having a wonderful week at the shore. Peggy - how about our little Meghan Mary Carney turning 21? I'm sorry you couldn't come but a very momentous day for you. Seems like just yesterday you were making her a t-shirt quilt for high school graduation. Pam headed off to Barb's and the Hershey quilt show yesterday. Can't wait to see show & tell from the classes. Have a great time. Cath - the food was wonderful....mmmmm. You did a great job on LA's quilt. Thanks again. Mare - our return airline tickets - thanks. I guess it's official that we ARE coming back. Thanks for sharing stories about Joanna's dress shopping. Have you started looking for one for yourself yet? Lois - love the new 'do! It's just adorable. Why is it that you keep getting younger looking? Hope you're enjoying the pool - can't wait to see your TATW quilt! Consuelo....have a fabulous two weeks at the shore...hope that you get a break from your 'Consuelo' duties and get a chance to relax. Lori - the binding on the quilt is great - nice job! Hope that John is feeling better and you can get down the shore soon. LA - our thoughts are going to be with you - I know you're looking forward to actually having a lap again. I can't wait to see the newest addition to the extended Quiltmama family. This is one lucky baby to have you and Gerry for parents. Looking forward to Ger's call. Good luck - and you have lots of positive juju coming your way. Speaking of which....I got a call right before I came on Tuesday that a very special person in my life had passed away. I almost didn't come but sitting with all of you, laughing and celebrating motherhood, womanhood, quilting and friendship......it made me so appreciative of all of you. Thanks for that. Hope everyone has a nice day........piece.
