Bee-e-e- wrap-up

Hello, girls......it's a rainy Thursday evening....it's been feeling very much like fall this week. I guess it's time to get out the pumpkin decorations. Missed those who weren't at bee last night. There were many topics of discussion, including Matt's fervent prayers for Fruity Pebbles. You gotta admire the kid's faith! Sorry there are no pictures - my brain is still not making that connection - 'Hey, get out the camera to put stuff on the blog'....maybe next time. Cathy put together sections of a Nancy Halvorsen panel into a quilt top - so cute. It's called 'I Believe' and has a special meaning for Cathy's neighbor. Such a nice thought. Pam brought her Kim McLean's flower pots - the blocks she has put together so far - it is truly amazing. The workmanship alone gives pause - but as you look at it, you notice the little touches - the fussy cut circles, the scraps of sock monkey fabric. Just amazing...we will be seeing this hanging somewhere major at some point - no doubt. Lori brought her nephew's quilt top finished - it looks terrific! The borders are really cool. He's going to love it. I finished the wedding gift wallhanging and the summer tablerunner - complete with ladybugs! I also made a ladybug block into a pillow for a little girl's b'day gift. Cloth & Bobbin is having a super sale this weekend - in honor of their 2 year anniversary. Also - the former 'Fort Washington' quilt show is next weekend up in Oaks. It starts on Thursday. I'm taking a landscape class on Thursday with Jo Diggs - that reminds me, I should dig out that supply list and do something about it this weekend! Check out the Will Work For Fabric blog - she has her aunt Millie's blocks laid out - they are just amazing! Talked to LA tonight after cross-country practice - her sister is in false labor. She was actually at the hospital last night but they sent her home. OY! Let us help you get that quilt done!! After all, we are this child's Quiltmama aunts! I think that's it, ladies. Lois and George were installing a vanity today - after installing their new toilet earlier in the week. We should see if they will contract out to fix things at our houses.....I have a few projects.....hmmm.....Cath - good luck with the paper-writing this weekend. Pam - shields up! Good luck in York. Hope everyone has a manageable Friday and a great weekend!!! Piece...

Hi everyone...how you are all staying dry! Rebecca is in labor...for real this time. I talked to Brian at 7:45 and the doctor thinks the baby will be here by noon sometime!!! Praying for a healthy baby and sister! Also praying for all involved in 9/11 tragedy. It doesn't seem like it has been 8 years. Still shocking to think about it.
Hope to see everyone soon. It sounds like I missed a good bee...so many beautiful projects in the making! Take care and enjoy the weekend. I'll update all of you QM aunties when little Olivia decides to make her grand entrance! Love, LA

+ juju to your sister and that baby!!! ; ) Plus the WHOLE family! Today is my SIL's b-day.

Blessings to those directly impacted by 9/11. We have some students on campus who lost a parent in that attack. It forever chaged the world.

TGIF and keep dry! Sew when you get the chance.
