A gorgeous weekend
Good morning, girls and happy Saturday! It promises to be a lovely fall weekend - clear blue skies, nice temperatures - just beautiful. Hoping you get a chance to enjoy it - a nice walk, a soccer game or just sitting on the porch. I went to the quilt show on Thursday and really enjoyed it. The class was a lot of fun - the teacher was very nice - an older woman from Maine - she looked like she stepped out of an L.L. Bean catalogue. I still have a lot of work to do to my little project but it's a nice hand stitiching project. The show was very nice - lots of quilts and lots of vendors. Some of the beadwork was just amazing! The funniest quilt in the whole show was Sunbonnet Sue Goes to Hollywood. It had to be at least 35 panels featuring Sunbonnet Sue in various movies - The King & I, Saturday Night Fever, The Exorcist, Jaws, Gone With the Wind, Bonnie & Clyde - just hilarious! Hope you get up to see it. Mare - how's the packing coming? You're leaving Thursday? I'm so excited for you. LA - are you going to Virginia Beach on Friday? That is awesome! You'll be hugging that baby like crazy and wondering how Kevin got so big so fast. Pam - did you have class this week? How's it coming? The pictures are terrific. There was a flower pots quilt top done in one of the vendor booths. She used similar fabrics to yours but used a powder blue with white polka dot as the backgrounds and I thought it really took away from the whole thing. Also - there was a lollipop trees quilt in the show - very nicely done. But, still not as nice as yours! Cath - hope you're hanging in there with school. December will be here before you know it. Lois - have you booked your next trip to Seattle yet? Isn't Ainsley's birthday in November? Lori - a great weekend for soccer games - are you still working on that tablerunner with all the yo yo's? Dolores - how many things are you working on? I thought of you three or four times while I was walking around the quilt show. We had a lot of laughs in the vendor area, didn't we? Consuelo - are you going to cross country this weekend? Saw Matt in his uniform at Mass last week - he is so cute!! It's going to be a beautiful day! Are you the official caretaker on the DeMarco manse while they're jetting to Europe? Mare - forgot to mention congratulations to Nicole for her official white coat! She has worked so hard - you must be so proud. Think that's about it girls.....have to get ready to go to karate! Enjoy this weekend!! I have to check next week's schedule and I'll blog about Wednesday.......piece.

Mo, thanks for the offer, but I can't make the sewing day. We're heading for the mountains. Hope you all have a great time.
Jean it sounds like you had a nice time at the show. I was thinking about driving up there yesterday, but went out with Veroncia instead. We call her Veroncia now because we discovered that is what is on her birth certificate. I like it! Hope everyone is enjoying this fabulous weekend, working on a flyers quilt, but the girl did not give me any t shirts so I'm on line looking for some cheap tees, any suggestions would be appreciated. Or I was also looking for a place to get iron ons and just get some plain t's, if anyone knows of any places like that it would be tremendously appreciated. Well back to work.
This weather is breathtaking. Jean I'm glad your class was fun - can't wait to see what you are working on. Mare - have a great time. LA - have a save trip to Virginia Beach - give the baby a hug from us. How are Jimmy and Billy? How was Billy's trip to Kutztown? Congrats to Nicole - we are so proud of her!!! School is going - I don't think I have ever done so much homework or written papers in a short period of time. Jean if you want to change the bee back to Tuesday night - more people might be able to come.
Enjoy the weather. Talk to you soon.
