Happy Labor Day weekend!

Just a nice thought to start the weekend and the fall! Applebee's was a nice time.....Peggy came! Yay! Also Dolores, Lori, Cathy, Mare and myself......nice to catch up. We missed those who weren't there. LA is walking and walking, getting ready for her three day. Consuelo was down the shore. Lois - how are you and George doing? Pam is chronicling the project on Harborview - very cool. Hope you all have a nice, relaxing weekend - grab that last bit of summer! Peace.....

Gerry's Dad is getting better.....

Tuesday...

Ladies....see you tonight if you're able to come to Applebee's....around 8. Asking for prayers for Gerry's Dad - he's in the hospital. Thanks.....see you. Peace.....

PS - have you been reading Pam's blog and seeing the progress on Harborview - very cool!

Fall is coming....

Programming note....Thanks ladies - looks like Tuesday at Applebee's - about 8:00 PM? Don't forget to respond to Consuelo about your availability for a sewing day in September.....

Trying to work through my UFO pile...came across this 'fallish' wallhanging I made in Lancaster in November...quilted it and voila.....ready for fall.

I liked the quilting they did in the book so I copied it...

Here's the back....yes, Consuelo - it was easy!

Remember to mark your calendars....next Tuesday, August 28th....Applebees' night! Yay! Piece.....

Happy Anniversary of your birth, Dolores!!!!

A fabric cake......most appropriate!! Enjoy your day!!!!!

love, the mamas

Hail, Mamas.....

How are you all? What's new? What have you been working on? The past couple of weeks, I've been working on these two monster t-shirt quilts:

They cover my queen size bed....crazy. I'm watching the closing ceremonies of the Olympics.....have you watched them? So inspiring.....the swimmers, the South African runner who is a double amputee,  rhythmic gymnastics (I'm mesmerized by them)......so many neat events.......amazing accomplishments.

We need to pick another Applebee's night before the end of the summer. I know some mamas are down the shore and others are headed down soon. How about the last week of August - everyone around?  Maybe Wednesday, August 29th....let me know if that works for you.

This is my last week before heading back to work next Monday.....hoping to wring every bit of relaxation/fun/quiet out of it....before school starts. Take care, mamas....enjoy each day. Piece.....

Gracias, Consuelo

Had a lovely bee last night at Casa de Conselo. Her dining table was sporting a colorful table cover that she brought back from Mexico City.... just beautiful......we sat on the screened porch and had a nice chat. We also had some nice Creamsicle drinks, endorsed by Mrs. Henderson SR. Yummy. Cathy, Lois, Lori, LA and myself were there. We missed those who were off doing other fun things. We heard tales from Mexico City and caught up on everyone's news.

I finished my hand-pieced and hand-quilted granny square wallhanging...

I also had a monster-sized t-shirt quilt top....I'll post a picture when it's quilted. Lois brought a picture of a beautiful breast cancer quilt that she finished and has already given to her cousin who is going through treatments now. It will bring her such comfort!

We also talked about the Olympics. Consuelo mentioned the swimmers' lip-dub to Call Me Maybe......here's the link. It is so cute!

She mentioned that the Harvard baseball team had done it too....here's the link to that - it is just hilarious!! I think we should do something like this on our next road trip. Consuelo - I dub thee the director!!!

Think that's it......take care everyone until next time.....piece.
