I am hoping everyone is home safe & sound. Although the snow changed our plans, the puppy is certainly having FUN!!! Here are some Jingle pics for your viewing enjoyment. ; )
And, my personal favorite...he's AIR BORN!!!

*sigh*...
It looks as though Mother Nature is causing a change in plans for the weekend. I feel a bit old & un-fun. I would rather be-e safe though, & I'd feel absolutely terrible if anything happened to any one of you QuiltMama's!!! So...sew, no Brigantine Bee Weekend as of now.
I didn't get the "cancellation" emails until 15 minutes ago...I am ALL packed!!! I have projects prepped & ready. The soup is ready to travel. I have a small overnight bag stuffed! Maude is waiting @ the top of the stairs. And, I have m&m's & wine packed too!
Scott says it's alright with him, so I am offering SOUP on Saturday to the QuiltMama's...any & all! I have this BIG pot of soup & expect to be home, so if anyone (Leigh Anne!) would like, you're more than welcome to come over for some soup & a visit. Bring along sewing if you'd like & stay awhile (take your allergy medication first)! Afternoon, evening, what might work best for your schedules...?!

Hello Girls,
How is everyone doing today? We're good here @ Mt. Pleasant. : ) It has been a nice weekend!
Yesterday afternoon I finished cutting "Vibrant Diamonds" for my Beach sewing project. I LOVE the fabrics & the colors!!! By last evening I had to put it in zip-lock bags so...sew...I wouldn't start sewing it!!! It's like a "ready to sew" kit!!! I can't wait!!!
Also yesterday afternoon, I worked to figure out cutting instructions for my Pennsylvania Pickle Dish project. This afternoon I did some cutting. I still have to RE-read the directions!!!???!!!??? I hope to work on piecing this @ the Shore too.
Does anyone have exciting plans for the President's Day long weekend? Is it a long weekend for everyone? It isn't for me & I don't know about Jean either...?! Mare - how is Nicole? How was/is her birthday?! Did you make any pillow cases for her?!
Butterfish was EXCELLENT!!! last evening!!! Scott & I both agreed that we haven't eaten @ a better restaurant - EVER! The food is amazing, & their prices aren't that bad.
This afternoon I was wearing Scott's Mickey Mouse ears...in anticipation... In 3 weeks we'll we in Disney World!!! : ) It's soon time for our Sunday nap, maybe I'll have Tower of Terror Dreams, or Rockin' Roller Coaster Dreams, or maybe simply Magical Dreams...
Enjoy your evening.

Hello & Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Jean - thanks for offering to host Bee next week! I think we're ALL in need!!! Glad to hear you got your quilt basted. : ) Is it the 2nd Beach Blanket? Have you quilted it yet?
Cath - GLAD to hear about Tim. We'll continue to wish him WELL!!! I can't help but think of the phone commercial..."Can you hear me now?!" ; ) How are YOU doing? What have you been stitching?!
Lori - how are those kids & that husband?! Is everyone well & healthy in your home? How's your Dad been? Is he home yet?! Have you been sewing anything? After your Santa wall hanging, what's your next BIG project? How is the T-shirt quilt coming along?
LA - What's new on your end? How are your kids, & how's that baby doing?! ; ) Have you sewn any panels? Working on anything?!
Mo - what's going on in your world? How's the microwave? Any news about Matt & school? Thinking of you, girl friend! : )
Lois - you are quietly busy, & productive too! What else are you stitching?! How are those grand babies doing?! ; )
Mare - has Nicole been healthy @ College this Winter? I think of her every now & then, & wish her well! What's new on your end? Sewing anything? What are you taking to the Shore?
Peggy & Dolores - whu'z up...?!
I went to the second half of my Fancy Pants class Wednesday evening. I like the method Aimee showed us for putting in a zipper. Zippers still make me what to cringe though. My pants need some alterations, & to be fitted. They are a project that I think I will continue with Momma Barb during Summer Sewing Camp.
I will be taking the Alaska quilt to the Shore to baste. I'm not ready to quilt it just yet. I don't know HOW to quilt it?!?!?! Nor, what color thread I want to use. I'm thinking maybe brown thread...
Presently, I have 3 other projects sitting on my table...
1. the Star baby quilt - it's now done as far as I can go/sew until the baby is born. Natalie is to have "tests" done on Friday, & perhaps be induced...
2. the Pickle Dish project is simmering. Miraculously, I discoved LIME green Kona cotton in my stash - HOORAY!!! Now, I am auditioning some fabrics to use in the arcs. I pulled some browns from my stash too. I am NOT going to buy any new fabrics for this quilt; I can use what I have & what's been shared with me! It is my plan to do some work on this project down the Shore.
3. I have a fabric bundle/"kit" of Kaffe Fassett fabrics, from Momma Barb, to make a Vibrant Diamonds quilt!!! I needed to select one additional "border" fabric & a fabric for the binding. Scott helped me with that last evening. I am hoping to piece the quilt top down the Shore. I am going to follow (most) of Kaffe's directions for constructing this quilt, but I can SEE it has the potential to be strip pieced... I will be working to figure out a way to do so/sew with the intent of using this pattern to eventually make a baby quilt. Perhaps teach a class too...?! ; )
Meanwhile, it's meatloaf & LOVE tonight for dinner!!! Then, maybe a bit of work in the studio. Enjoy your day & give your Honey a SQUEEZE!!! : )
