Morning Ladies,
Wanted to ask if anyone is going to our May Guild Meeting? Sharon Schamber is the speaker, & she is VERY talented!!! She does AMAZING piecing, applique, AND long arm quilting. She comes from a couture sewing background & uses that knowledge & skill in her world of quilting. Check out her website Sharon Schamber If you're available, & interested this is a meeting not to be missed! Needless to say, I am planning to attend!
Did anyone watch HGTV Spice Up My Kitchen last evening?! Yep, Tammy & Glen's kitchen was on!!! If you missed it, Tammy says it will be aired multiple times, so watch for it!!! Their kitchen is iNcReDiBlE!!!
Mare - how is your string piecing going? Do you use a foundation? Hey, it is Tuesday 10/28/08 that we're to fly to Houston!!! Keep us posted! Since tomorrow is the 1st, you should be able to book, right? Let us know if there's anything we need to do, & tell us how much we need to pay you!?
Jean - how did the grads like their quilts?! I bet they were pleasantly surprised!!! ; ) Hey, I see you are going to teach your Beach Blanket @ Cloth & Bobbin! Nice! : ) How was last evening's confirmation? You had good weather for it!
Lois - has your daughter & family come for their visit yet?! I can imagine how EXCITED you & George must be!!! Have FUN! ; )
Enjoy your day, girls!

Good Evening Girls,
It's soggy. Jingle & I are waiting for the rain to slow down a little. Regardless, I'm pretty sure we're going to come home WET! April showers, right...?! ; )
Momma Barb - look @ you posting on the blog?!?!?! ; ) You surprised me! Glad if you're SEW happy with the little Singer Featherweight! Has your "new" machine arrived yet...?!
Mare - glad to hear that Nicole is home! BMC doesn't finish 'til the 18th. Jean - when is SJ done?
Peggy - how is your foot?! Did you go back to work today?! Hey, congrats on soon becoming a Grandma! : )
Lois - thanks for the mulch info. I'm not sure where the incinerator is... How's your pond & the fish?!
LA - how is that baby doing?! How are you feeling?! How is your home...has work on the addition begun?!
Nothing too new here...we had FUN with Momma Barb this past weekend!!! We went to the Horse Races!!! I'd never been there. I won $1.20!!! Jingle traveled well & was well behaved too - thankfully! ; ) We have an appointment to meet with another architect this week. We are continuing to evolve our plans & choices, but there's no real forward momentum yet. I think it's gonna be a while.
Stay dry & enjoy your evening! Sew & have a nice cup of tea.
: )

Good Evening Girls,
Things have been a little chaotic around here. We made arrangements to meet with an architect this morning, then the contractor called & wanted to come by again, + he wanted to bring his plumber. We had 3 men waiting for us when we arrived home from work this morning, & another showed up too! Whew!!! The meeting with the architect went very well, & he gave us some amazing ideas & food for thought!!! Lots to think about, research & plan for...?! Scary, but exciting too...!?
The Kirby's HGTV Spice Up My Kitchen should be airing next week!!! Watch for it!!! I got a look @ the new digs, & it's been quite an amazing transformation!!! Tammy was SO glad ALL the choices were made for her! I can certainly understand her perspective!!!
This Spring has been one of our worst ever allergy seasons!!! Scott & I are both suffering with nose & eye symptoms. We'd like to CLAW our eyes out!!! It's been terrible!!! This has made sewing problematic for me. : /
So...sew...I've been just simply doing a little hand quilting. I'm making progress & it feels GOOD to sew something! It sounds like you all have been BUSY sewing!!! That's AWESOME! : )
I have a few seedlings coming up in my little "green houses" upstairs. We'll see how they do. I planted some herbs out in the garden this week & shared some tarragon with a neighbor.
Tomorrow we're heading to Momma Barb's for a weekend visit! We're celebrating a belated birthday & early Mother's Day with her!!! : ) I can't tell you more about it, in case she reads this I don't want to spoil any surprises...!!! ; )
How did the Penn Relay's go? What other news is there? Enjoy the beautiful weather & stitch outside a bit if you get the chance!

Hello, 'mamas! How is it going? Last night was fun! Peggy came - right from dinner with friends at Outback - prompting several minutes of extolling the virtues of the blooming onion. It was good to see her after her little hiatus. She's feeling better - and shared some good news. She's going to be a grandmother in September - joining Lois in those noble ranks. Congrats to Peggy and Richie - and they just found out yesterday that it's going to be girl. Mazel tov! Marianne recounted her adventures during a trip to visit Georgetown - hilarious! Mare had lots of show & tell - she finished her southwest quilt top - it is just beautiful! She had a bunch of disappearing nine patch blocks too - very pretty. And she put her scraps to good use making some string blocks - she will demo at our next sewing day. She had a truly productive week and also had time to make some delicious chocolate chip cookies for her family which were so good - the kids were drawn to them like magnets! Leigh Anne scaled the driveway and looks great. Cathy had a cute party pillowcase. Lois came and is getting so excited for Kara's visit. I finished all four of the student quilts - yahoo! Labeled them after everyone left - and they're in the gift bags - whew!!!! We had a very nice apple cake for Peggy - thanks Mare. Hope the relays went well - we missed those who couldn't come. Mare just posted some important info about flights on Southwest - be sure to read it. Is one person going to purchase all the tickets - did we decide how we're going to do this? I think we're leaving on Tuesday, October 28th - but we might want to have Pam confirm that. Getting excited for this trip - it'll be a fun thing to look forward to in the fall. Everyone have a lovely day.....see y'all soon, I hope. Piece....

Good GORGEOUS!!! Morning Ladies,
Isn't it a picture perfect day?! I have wash out on the line!!! Mare - do you too?!
Lois - how is your pond?! How are your garden beds doing?! What's blooming?! Blog & tell us, please!? : )
Last evening I went into the City to attend the Obama Rally. It was REALLY something!!! I've NEVER done anything like this before & didn't know what to expect. I went by myself. It was a beautiful evening. : ) The crowd was MASSIVE, & I was SO impressed with how calm, interested, interesting & supportive EVERYONE was. It was ELECTRIC! Here is a link to the Barack Obama website with an article from 2 Philadelphia newspapers about the event. History was being made - I thought it was a unique opportunity to be a witness & active participant! It makes the hair on my arms stand up!!! Afterward, EVERYONE was chanting O-BAM-A as we streamed out of the field. Cars stopped, honking their horns in approval. It was one of the most magical & inspirational experiences I've ever had. Thanks for allowing me to share this with you. I'm not a zealot, but I am PASSIONATE about this Primary Election & the future of our Country. PLEASE, get out & vote on Tuesday!!!
Enjoy your weekend.
