I hope you all have a terrific weekend.....have you started to gather up projects for next weekend? Lois - have a nice trip out west......give those cuties some hugs from the Quiltmamas.

A colorful and color-filled bee....

Hello, ladies...a nice bee last night. Thanks for hosting, Lori. Lots and lots of show&tell. Cathy and Lori were at Sauders and the Hayloft yesterday. They got tons of cute fabric - and lots on sale. Well done! And here are the projects shown last night:


Lori - a cute pumpkin table runner...





Lori - this panel is so adorable!!! And look at the purple rickrack. So cute....




This ruffled flower pillow made by Lori - using scraps from that pretty purple quilt she made for her friend....

I remember Cathy buying this cute fabric, saying that a friend of Timmy's will probably have a baby - and sure enough! Love that pattern....

Pam - a Kim McLean pattern - she didn't enlarge it and it is terrific. The blanket stitching is superb....

Look at this hand applique - Pam - one word - stunning.....

These are the two baby quilts I did from a Monica Solario-Snow moda bake shop pattern - Lawn chair quilts - it was fun and easy - my favorites!

Dolores, Mare, Maureen and LA - you were missed. LA - hope you had fun! Such a pretty day out there.....wishing you all a lovely weekend.....I'm heading to Baltimore with Kelly for karate and hopefully to spot the Ace of Cakes! And a big shout out to the Phillies!!!!! Stay the course, fellas. Piece.......

Picture this....

Here's a picture of Lori's finished quilt. The houses look great!!! Nice job, ladies.....and an awesome label from LA. Go Phillies......piece......

Post celebration....

Ladies - a fun evening last night. Lots of laughs and good food - even a funeral cake! You truly can't get stuff like that at Applebee's. And if you are interested, Rich has a very nice Buick that's a 'steal'. Just call 1-800-thelamb. (totally kidding....). Only three weeks till the Lancaster weekend. Time to start thinking about Christmas projects to bring along - and also make reservations at the Iron Horse. LA is on that! Have a lovely weekend.....good luck to all with homework. Piece....

T - 1....

Ladies....tomorrow night is our night at the Lamb! Yahoo......our reservations are for 6:45. Anyone need a ride? Cathy is going to meet us there. Lois can't come and I haven't heard from Peggy. I'm driving so if you want me to swing by for you, just let me know. Central girls? Pam? Lori...LA....Annie Oakley? The countdown is on......and has everyone noticed the countdown to the right ------- it's getting there! See you.....as the Australians would say - only one more sleep. Take care......piece.

Happy Birthday, Leigh Anne!!!!!

Happy Birthday, LA! Hope Gerry and the kids made you breakfast in bed. Today is 10/10/10 - very cool. Enjoy your day......you're only this young once (take it from an old head). And Happy Thanksgiving to any Canadian friends. Go Phillies - LA - they're going to wrap it up tonight for your b-day. Piece.....

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy 50th Birthday, Lori!!!!! Enjoy your special day!

Thank goodness it's finally freaking Friday!!!! I woke up on Tuesday morning, thinking it was Saturday - and the rest of the week was pretty ugly! But it was nice to see the 'mamas last night. This is Lois' quilt for Ainslie - she's going to be 3!!! Boy, doesn't seem that long ago that Donovan was born....the years are just flying by. Lois - this is adorable. Lots of neat quilting - both hand and machine.

Consuelo came after flag football. LA and Lori - missed you both - at an SH soccer game. Hope we won! Cath is hanging in with work and school. Pam had an amazing story - the big ending of which is that she's going to start working for EHF (are they the right letters?) in November! What whirlwind couple of weeks! Scott was not feeling well - hope he's better today - heading down the shore for a fall break. Have a nice, relaxing time. Saw Mare briefly when I stopped with Pam to pick up a table that's headed to the shore too. Dolores - we missed you. Is the wedding quilt finished? Please take a picture or bring it to the Lamb next week....speaking of which.......the reservations have been made - 6:45 next Thursday, October 14th. Boy, I'm looking forward to a night out and not cooking or cleaning up! Hope everyone has a terrific weekend.....go Phillies!!!! Piece......

Bee-e-e-e-e-e

Girls.....I can host on Thursday....same bee time, same bee channel. Hope to see you there......how I wish this was my desk!!!!! Piece....

A beautiful fall Sunday....

Hello, ladies...what a lovely day. Makes me want to make a fall table runner - on my front porch! Is anyone working on any fall projects? Pam - how is fall at the beach? Were you down this weekend? Hope the new job is going well. Mare is enjoying her days with Kevin. Maureen and Bill were down in Rock Hall Maryland for an outdoor wedding yesterday - awesome! George and Lois were being lumberjacks this weekend - a tree came down in the field up the street. You probably have enough wood for the winter. She finished hand quilting Ainsley's quilt - can't wait to see it. LA - how was Haverford Township day? The weather was perfect. It's the first year we missed - we spent the day in Ridley at a volleyball tournament (shuttling back and forth to Springfield for karate). Let's just say I napped in the car......haven't done that in years when alcohol was involved! Cath - how are all the papers coming? Dolores and Joe are working a gig, possibly opening nightly at a comedy club downtown.....stay tuned for details (totally making that up - but can't you picture it?). Lori - the big birthday is Friday - enjoy your last week in your forties.....speaking of that - dinner at the Lamb - next Thursday - did we say 7:00 or 6:30? what works best? Please let me know if you're attending so I can make the reservations. I'll use an alias in case they remember us! Enjoy today, ladies. I'm going to try to host Thursday - I'll keep you posted but so far so good.......piece.
