And now for some good news......

How cute is this? Lois made this for a niece - the rick rack, the flannel back, the adorable hearts - and her name - she is just going to love it!


Cathy went out of her color comfort zone and made this beauty - it's so soft and pretty.

A feel-good bee tonight, girls. Seems like we needed it. Cathy is feeling better - Kerry is all moved in at SJU and enjoying her volunteer experience immensely. Billy is safely back in WV - and in a whirlwind tour, during the Griswold adventure - Chris visited Pitt, Duquesne, Syracuse, Colgate and possibly NYU, Harvard and Yale.....they made it back in one piece and had a great time. Lois - it was so nice to see you. Mare popped in for a few minutes after her walk and had to go home because today is Joe's birthday - enough said about that. Pam called into the bee with a double shot of good news - she and Scott are making settlement in Delaware tomorrow - finally - and she has accepted a new position as the director of the wellness center at Rosemont College - congrats!!!! We're so happy for you and Scott. All the best tomorrow. LA - we missed you. Hope all the McCabes are well and gearing up for school. Dolores - how was boot camp? How are you feeling? Is Joe Byrnes making you do his shoulder exercises too? OY! Lori - hope you enjoy the nice weather down at the beach this weekend. Now - onto the important stuff - Sunday's swim (or not) and sew. We will commence at Henderson's at 11:00 am. These are the assigments:

Cathy - appetizer

Lois - cookies

LA - cajun chicken (someone drooled on the table as we talked about it)

Lori - appetizer

Marianne - appetizer

Dolores - fruit (we know you love it)

And don't forget to bring your projects. Peggy - if you are around, we'd love to see you. I think that's it - we talked about some sad things - but had lots of laughs too. That's the beauty of the Quiltmamas. See y'all Sunday.....piece.
