a much-needed bee....

Hello, ladies. Boy, we needed that bee! It was a welcome little estrogen/quilting boost. We had some lovely show & tell. This is Pam's pastel bubbles quilt...so pretty. She was looking for quilting advice and it was nice to discuss it - creativity flowing!


She finished her Santa's Blessings quilt - this is just terrific! The quilting is wonderful - and really compliments the applique.

Cathy made this cute baby quilt - lots of fire engines and fire hydrants.

And Mare made this patriotic baby quilt for Joe's niece who is expecting her first in a few months but her husband is being deployed so the shower was moved up. She said it's an Eleanor Burns pattern and went together really quickly.

Let's see - what else did we talk about? Lois was not feeling well and didn't make it - but I'm happy to report that I stopped by to see her today and she's feeling lots better and Susie is back from her Hayes spa treatment and is feeling better too! Good news. We heard some funny stories from the House of Halligan - they never run out of material - it's better than most reality shows! Mare is taking this student thing very seriously - she and Nicole are going to the Carribbean for spring break!!! We may see her on Quilters Gone Wild! We're going to help her make a quilt for Joanna and Bill - the theme was just changed to monkeys - so she'll let us know when she has bought the main fabric - and we can get started. Pam had a lovely new hairdo. There was a question about when the Lancaster weekend is.....we check in on Friday, April 9th. And we check out on Sunday, the 11th. Can we take a head count of who is going? I can tell you the price after I know the number of people. Thanks.......Dolores you were missed. What's new with you and Gracie? Lori - any end in sight for the big dig? Consuelo - how was Chris' birthday celebration? I feel like Billy just started driving - wow - time is flying. I knew I'd forget to mention some things - I heard from the organ donor lady. She asked if we could make another quilt this year. I said yes - if anyone would like to help, that would be great. If you don't have time, that's fine too. I won't have the blocks and fabric for another week or so. I think that covers everything - if I left anything out, please chime in. Hope you all had a nice weekend. We bought some shamrock socks at Joann's to make some St. Patrick's Day sock monkeys. I'll keep you posted. Have a nice week, girls.....we have our last basketball game this week - and softball practice - indoors, of course! Piece.....
