Hello All,
Hey, I'm sorry I missed last night's Bee! I WANT to SEE Richie's pictures, Peggy!!! And, I WANT to HEAR the stories too!!! : )
Cathy - the ham story sounds too cute...how's your tongue?! Try to stitch away some of that frustration!?! Have you finished the Jennifer Chiaverinni books? Has your Mom?
Leigh Anne - what colors ARE you using in YOUR!!! quilt?! How are you designing it - EQ, winging it, draft/graphing out the design...? How did you dress your BNL?!
Jean - you are SEW busy!!! How does the Photo quilt look? What colors did you use for the borders? AND, thanks for "blogging" a Bee Muse! I LOVE YOU! ; )
Okay, I had a work meeting last evening, & then @ my meeting, Jackie asked me to come in to work early last night... I HAD to come home to eat & shower!!! AND, I HAD to fmq for a few minutes so I would be sane...! ; )
Stay warm & sew when you have the chance! Enjoy your day!
Piecefully, Pam
P.S. Any discussion about a road trip to Patch of Country...?!

Good Morning!
My thread arrived!!! HOORAY!!! It's the same color (hooray!), but on a bigger spool. I didn't know if/how this larger spool would work/fit...sew far sew good! : ) And, I did finish my English paper pieced star. It is going to be the label for this quilt. Geez, I have the label & the binding done & ready. Wow...!?
Steel Magnolias...?! Jean & Mo, is that the references you've been making? Pink, luggage, Ouiser? Hmmm...
I have not been to Patch of Country. Sorry to hear they are closing. We have fewer & fewer quilt shops available to us locally. Jean, your practicality makes me smile. If anyone is making a trip to Patch of Country, I'd go along. Does anyone have any "free" time this weekend? Cathy, is this where you bought your leather thimble? I REALLY need one!
Will someone post about tonight's Bee events, please? I hate to miss it! : /
Stay warm & have a good day!
Piecefully, Pam
P.S. Does anyone have any web wizardry & tech savvy to help me find/link a calendar to the blog...?!

Hello Ladies,
Well, my thread hasn't yet arrived, so...sew...I was able to clean this weekend.
I did make the binding for my Trip project though. : ) That's a first! I NEVER have the binding ready before the quilt is completed, but I kind of like it. This way, when the quilting is done, I can bind the quilt right away - NCE! What things have all of you been stitching & working on?!
I have a pot of gumbo ready for this week! YUM!!! It seems like it's going to be good weather for gumbo. ; ) Mo, did you try the sausage recipe...? Any questions...or comments...?!
Did you guys get a postcard in the mail from Burkholder's?! They're selling on the web now! I'm not entirely sure I LIKE the Lancaster shops being internet savvy...is that wrong...?! Also, I got an email @ work from Z and S Fabrics (which I think is Zook's & Sauder's, am I correct in that assumption?) anyway, they are now stocking & selling Kaffe Fassett & Amy Butler fabrics!!! They have a limited choice, but I am WAY excited about IT!!! When you ladies were in Lancaster this past week, did you happen to notice any said fabrics?!?!?! Did you BUY any?!?!?!
Deborah, I did get your email. Thanks. I just went back to work on Monday night & didn't open my work email until Friday morning. Paris sounds marvelous!!! Have a wonderful time!!! We can try for the March Guild meeting. It's ALL good! : ) Just keep me posted, & meanwhile, enjoy the blog...AND Paris! ; )
Jean - how is that photo quilt class project coming along? Have you begun quilting the Garden Splendor piece yet? You're busy!!!
Alright, time for a bite to eat before our nap! Enjoy the snow flurries!

Hiya,
TGIF!!! It's COLD!!! Is everyone tucked in & warm?!?!?! Snuggle in a quilt & have a nice hot cup of tea. : )
Did anyone else receive the flyer from Calico 'n Cotton? Did you see they are having their pajama sale the same Saturday (2/17) we'll be down the Shore?! 30% off @ 8:00, etc?! Any interest... ; ) They also stated in the flyer that they will be having sales on kits. They DIDN'T say WHEN the sale would be...hmmm...
Jean - did your batting come yet? I'm waiting for my thread!!! Meanwhile, I am prepping to make the Trip binding. How are your photos coming along?!
Okay, I think that's about it for now. Sweet dreams, & maybe we'll "chat" again tomorrow.

Good Evening Girls,
Uh, what d'ya think of the changes to the blog...
Uh, what d'ya think of the changes to the blog...
- New colors, perhaps just for the Valentine's holiday...?
- New format...I upgraded to the newer blog templates...?!
"Extra" info is listed on the left hand side of the page & the blog post is on the right. The Archives uses a drop down menu now. The links are updated & sort of organized by preference. This is a blog in evolution. I'd like to add some pictures, but we are having some computer software issues on this end, so that will have to wait. Is there anything you ladies would like added to the blog? Any links? I am looking for a way to post a calendar. I'd like to list our upcoming scheduled events - the Brigantine Sewing Retreat, the Lancaster Quilt Show, our Guild's upcoming Show, etc... Please, if anyone has any insight, thoughts, or helpful suggestions - share them!!!
Piecefully, Pam

Heya!
Let's see if I can remember last evening's events & highlights from Quilt Mama's...?!
Peggy - travel safely & pee as often as needed! Be SO, SO, SO proud of YOUR son!!! It was nice to meet Ellen. : )
Mo - did you get the recipe addendum I emailed you this morning?! Add 1 large can of diced tomatoes or chop up 4 - 6 fresh tomatoes & just toss them in on top of the peppers & onions, then continue on with the recipe! Sorry about that. I am getting anxious to see your Naked Lady!!! She's going to be SEW glitzy!!!
Mare - look @ you doing hand applique on the down low, girl?! I am anxious to see it too!!! What are you looking for in Lancaster today? Anything specific, any special projects in mind...?! Enjoy your day & let us know what good buys you bring home! : )
Cathy - look @ you doing hand applique!!! That's WAY awesome - you're doing a GREAT job!!! It's nice to have a hand project when machine work isn't available, for whatever reason. And, look @ you taking your machine to Hayes for a new foot. You free motioned your foot down to a nub! You SEW, girl!!! : ) Your Sherbet quilt is soft & nice. I like the darker purple stipple quilting! Are you going to bind it in a darker purple batik? Thanks for hosting last night. And, tell Mike thanks for "Joe Byrnes." : ) Too funny, you guys!!! Cath, are you going to Lancaster today also? Give us the low down?!
Jean - your Garden Splendor quilt is AWESOME!!! It's BIG!!! I REALLY like the colors! How are you planning on quilting it, free motion stipple? Did you start the Photo Memory quilt yet? How is it coming along? Hey, thanks for sharing the bag of Naked Lady embellishments. That was nice & some of that stuff is GREAT! Speaking of GREAT, your Naked Lady is SEW cute!!! I especially LOVE her flip flops!!!
Leigh Anne - I love you. You are SEW cute. Your little hexagons are SEW pretty & nicely done. I love that you use whatever time you can eek out to do whatever stitching fits into your life & schedule!!! : ) I admire you.
Lor - I like the long vertical Flip Flop wall hanging. It's cute. I also REALLY like the flip flop batik border. Can't you find the neatest fabrics?! And, what are you looking for in Lancaster today? Anything special? Let us know what FUN stuff you find & buy!!!
Dolores - THANKS for coming!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your Wuthering Heights quilt!!! The colors are yummy!!! I REALLY like your design! And, tell that neighbor to p--- off. I know that's not nice, but REALLY?! Jingle can come over & make some yellow snow in his yard if you'd like... And, Jingle says "Thanks for the bags!" ; ) "Joe Byrnes!!!"
Lois - we missed you. Thanks for you email. I hope you can figure out how to post here. Meanwhile, I'm just glad if you come here & read stuff! ; )
Thanks for looking @ my free motion work on the Trip quilt ladies. I appreciate your kindness. I am going to include a link to a thread place I've just ordered from. It's gotten GOOD reviews from 2 different sewing boards I frequent. They had the best prices I could find, they have a nice assortment, & there's NO shipping to the US or any APO address. Nice! Of note, I can not make QM's next Tuesday, 1/30. I have a staff meeting. : /
Take care & stay warm! It's going to be COLD on Friday, so have your quilts ready, some flannel pj's & a mug of hot chocolate : ) !!!
