It's been a good day in Quilt Mama land

Good Evening All,

What a nice way to spend a day - with Quilt Mama's!!!  : )  Thanks girls, & one little boy!!!  Uh, that includes Kevin too!!!  : )  He is SWEET!!!  I am SO/SEW remedial @ the Mom thing, but I am maybe working towards my Quilt "Mama" badge...?!  Milk?  Huh?  If it entails breasts or cows I can't do it!  ; )

There was shopping.  Then later this evening there was sharing, show 'n tell & simply visiting with one another.  Nice!

I was glad to spend time with those Quilt Mama's that were available.  And, those who weren't were missed. It's funny how we've all begun to associate different fabrics with different Quilt Mama's.

LA - the sewing machine trolley & window treatment book will be delivered by Jean.  Thanks Jean!

Dolores - I have the light in the garage.  I'll give it to you the next time I see you, or if you'd like to pick it up before then you're more than welcome to stop by Mt. Pleasant.

Cathy - thanks for the thread!  Awesome!!!

Mare - thanks for sharing your recipes!  And, Mo - Marianne has some food magazines/books for you!

Alright girls, take care & have a safe & Happy New Year!!!

Piecefully, Pam

Post-Holiday Give Aways...

Girls,

I am cleaning OUT!!!  Please click on the above pictures to see larger images.  If you are interested in anything - post a comment or send me an email.  All of these items are FREE to a good home!  : )

The first 2 pix are my newly retired travel sewing machine trolley.  It was given to me by Barb. Originally it came from the Houston Quilt Festival!  Scott replaced the 2 front wheels, as seen in picture #1.  It works well, is large & can hold a lot!

The next pix is sewing notions...anything from pins, to one of the travel applique roll-up totes that Karen uses (it's a bit faded from being in the sun), a needle threader, Greist sewing machine feet - a ruffler, walking foot, etc, etc.  These would work on any vintage sewing machine...Cathy I thought of your Pfaff.  There is also a newer generic walking foot that would fit any contemporary machine.

Then there's project bags...batik stars started from Steve's BOM once upon a time, leftover blocks, strips & bits from completed projects...could be used for kids sewing projects, small pin cushions, mini pillows, bean bags or doll quilts...  The possibilities are endless?!

Next, fabric that I'm not going to use, or have used already & am finished with!

Lastly, an assortment of printed shapes - that can be stuffed for small toys or appliqued onto sweatshirts or whatever, also there is felt for kid friendly projects, a printed Christmas tree skirt, a Hallowe'en panel, some Christmas panels, Mary Engelbreit "Queen for a Day" fabric, etc...

Thanks for helping me to reduce, reuse, recycle!  ; )

The day after the day after...

Good Evening Girls,

Wow!  Seven comments...glad to see posts from some QM's & hear of your holidays too.  ; )  We're still enjoying the holidays & continuing to celebrate here @ Mt. Pleasant.  We got some new games that we've been playing...Pachinko, Letter Flip, Feed the Kitty, A - Z, In a Pickle...  In the photo above, Scott is toying with his "new" Pachinko machine.  It's a bit NoIsY, but fUn!  ; )

Next Tuesday's trip sounds good.  We have a scheduled furnace cleaning in the AM.  We are first call, which is to be 08.  I don't know how long I'll be, but it shouldn't take too long.  I'll volunteer to hold Kevin!  : )

Enjoy your evening, Mama's!  Jean - it sounds as though you have been having a WoNdErFuL time...naps, reading, relaxing...+ Wii, Wii, Wii ALL the way home!!!  ; )  Keep it up, girl friend!!!  

Piecefully, Pam

P.S.  Does Marianne's machine still need to go to Hinkletown?  If so/sew, should that be a stop on Tuesday?  And, is our *newest* quilter going along?!  Does she need any fabrics for her next project...?!  ; )

Good Morning Girls,

Well, it's "the morning after" Santa...did everyone survive?!  What excellent goodies did Santa bring to your house?

There has been mention of & some planning for a trip to Lancaster upcoming.  Next Tuesday I think...?! Any further news, plans or discussion, girls...

Here are a couple pix of our holiday kitchen.  Enjoy!  The ham was dElicious!!!  : D

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

In 10 minute intervals...in between basting the ham...  Pix of home made Momma Barb gifts. The heart is for my sewing box.  The Hallowe'en wall hanging is for Scott!  ; )  Hope you're having a very Merry one!!!

Dear Girls,

Good evening.  It's Christmas Eve.  Already...?!  Where does the time go...

I am wishing each one of you has the opportunity to still yourself in the holiday whirl.  May the gifts be wrapped, the tree festooned, the kitchen chores complete.  Make the time to sit.  Maybe take a few stitches if you want, or not if you don't.  Just take a deep breath, feel the peace & magic of this moment & believe.

Thank you for your friendship.  Enjoy your holidays.  May Santa have you on his "nice" list!  ; )

Merry Christmas Quilt Mama's!!!

Santa brought me a pair of Sock Monkey slippers!!!  : )
