Hiya Girls,

I'm looking forward to Bee tomorrow evening.  : )  Thanks for offering to host, Lori.  I can hardly wait to see ALL the show 'n tell...!?

Mare - did you pick up your sewing machine today?  Did you & Joe have dinner out?  Where...the Wind Mill then over to the winery..?!  ; )  What fabrics did you get on Saturday?  The bundle of red/black/white sounds great!  Did you get the fabric Mo NEEDED?!

Lor - I use Elmer's school glue to hold my applique shapes in place.  I use either the glue stick or the actual liquid glue that I heat set with an iron.  The table runner sounds cute. Doesn't Kim Diehl have the nicest designs & patterns?  I love her fabric choices too!

Jean - how are your flamingos?!

I finished sewing the borders to the Donor Quilt.  Technically, we could possibly pin baste it tomorrow evening if any of us were so inclined or motivated to do so...

I finished my Schnibble.  It's kinda cute.  It gave me something to do with charm packs!

Until tomorrow evening.  Enjoy this break in the weather.  Take a couple stitches!

Piecefully, Pam 

Good Evening Girls,

You guys make me smile...& laugh!  : )  Thanks for that!  I have to say I like the "S trifecta" of Sisters, Suds & Seams.

So glad to hear that you peeps have been out & about enjoying the good weather!  Nice.  The road trips sounded excellent!  Thanks for sharing.  ; )

Mare - can I tell you how much better I feel knowing you got your machine to Hinkletown!!! What's the scoop?  Did you pick it up today?  Is it fixed?  Have you sewed with it yet?  What was the problem?!  How did Nicole's interview go?  Did you get to a quilt shop too?  How 'bout a winery...?!

Thanks for liking my 2nd Bunny Hill block, girls.  I'm like all twinkle toed peeing myself waiting & then making the blocks.  It's a bit cRaZy...  I deleted my blocks by accident on Flick'r. Then, I re-posted them.  I'm a little daft learning new technology, but I'm trying.

So, are we having Bee this week?  Wednesday?  @ Lori's?  It sounds like there's show 'n tell?!

Let me know...

Piecefully, Pam

Girls,

About a half hour ago Mare wrote to say she saw Gerry today.  Everything went well.  They will know more on Thursday. Continue to keep them in your thoughts & prayers, please.

Meanwhile, I've been stitching!!!  I was practically peeing myself waiting for the the 2nd Bunny Hill block.  It's a sickness...

Enjoy your weekend & the milder temps!

As always...

BOM #2

Hello There Q'Mama's,

: ) It's bitter COLD outside today. Be careful out there! Make a nice hot cup of tea.

The second Bunny Hill block has been posted!!! Hooray! I am REALLY liking this project. Hurry up! I have planned to use the same background AND basket fabrics each month, but use different fabrics for the "items" that fill the monthly basket. What are you guys going to do?

Last night's Bee was "just what the Dr. ordered." ; ) There were some tears, some raised voices, LOTS of laughter & enough estrogen to go around. I can not begin to tell you girls how much I appreciate your sharing with me & you allowing me to share with you too! It gives each of us a place to "go" with "stuff." GENTLE!!!

Mo - thanks for hosting us last night. We are a rowdy bunch! I am SEW impressed with your skill & accomplishments!!!
: ) You totally surprised me!

Mare - have fun in Lancaster on Saturday! Best of luck with your machine! Your quilt top is nice. Way to SEW!

Dolores - thanks for getting us started on the Donor Quilt. I'll work on borders for it this weekend...if I'm not too busy with the new BOM...shhh, don't tell!? ; )

The Brigantine Bee Beach Weekend has bee-n set for the 20th!!! Mark your calendars & start planning your sewing projects! Save some $ for a trip or 2 to a quilt shop or 2...

LA - the quilt for your Mom is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! We will be praying (extra!) for her & your family tomorrow. Keep us posted. Be brave.

Take a couple stitches when you get the chance! Or, browse through a quilting magazine or pet your fabric! Better yet, wrap up in a quilt today!

Let it snow - DOG...?!

Good White Morning Girls!

Do your kids have school today? Do you have to go to work or can you take a "snow day" too?! ; ) Make a snow angel, build a snow(wo)man, throw snowballs & what about sledding too...?!

Well, Scott & I made it into work alright. Now for the trip HOME!!! Once we get home, we have shoveling to do. Somehow snow isn't nearly as fun when you're an "adult!" : / That's NOT fair. I'm sure Jingle will liven things up though. Yesterday he was growing an icicle beard & VERY pleased with himself!!!

Mo - I do not know if I'll be @ Bee this evening. Kind of depends on our morning & what things look like when we get up this evening. Can you comment & confirm that you're still planning to host?

For those Mama's doing the Bunny Hill BOM - the next block should be posted tomorrow morning!!! I don't know about you guys, but I'm chomping @ the bit!

Any status on a Bee Beach weekend yet?

Dolores - how's the donor quilt coming? You go!!! ; )

Any other news, girls?

LA & Lois - how are your Mom's doing? I've been sending + juju! ; )

Take care, be-e warm & stay safe!

P.S. click on today's blog title for a giggle!

Phil?! Phil Connors...?!

Good Monday Morning Girls,

And, Happy Ground Hog Day...!!!??? Only in PA, right? ; ) Punxsutawney Phil must HATE this day! I'd like to state for the record, I don't want 6 more weeks of Winter. : /

How 'bout that football game?! Heard it was GOOD up to the VERY end!!!

Enjoy your day. Stitch when you get the chance. Hey, does anyone know if Dolores found block #17? I FELT her pain!
