Gotta LOVE Saturdays!!!

Good Evening Girls!

How's everyone doing?  Mare - how's 50?  Lois - are you home?!  How was your trip?  How's your Mom doing?  Lor - did you find the steel cut oatmeal recipe on our blog?  Have you tried it yet?

Momma Barb called called this morning with NEWS!!!  Karen took first place in her category, traditional applique - large, @ the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Show!!!  Such a nice surprise!  : )  Also, Arabesque has been juried in to the Lancaster Quilt Show!!!

Guess what...?!  I made homemade pizza this evening for dinner!!!  Thanks, Mare!  It turned out pretty good for my first try.

Is anyone going to the Philadelphia Flower Show?  It opens tomorrow.  In the past, I'd go on Sunday morning, & I can't tell you how many times I did that & it snowed.  They're calling for a "wintry mix" tomorrow.  I LOVE the feeling of Spring that the Flower Show provides...& @ just the right moment too!

Today I sewed on my small Whig Rose machine applique project.  I'm ready to make the decision about borders or no.  I haven't decided yet...  I do like the SO non-traditional fabrics I've chosen to use for this piece!  I have been wanting to do this with Amy Butler & Kaffe Fassett fabrics.  I wasn't sure I'd like the look though, but so far I do!  : )  What are you stitching this weekend?  Whatever it is - ENJOY!!!

Piecefully, Pam  

HAPPY ( 50th) BIRTHDAY MARIANNE!!!  HAVE A SPECTACULAR DAY!  : )

A birthday celebration...

Last evening was a lot of FUN, girls!!!  : )  So...SEW good to see everyone!

Lois - you were missed, but we've been sending + juju & hoping things are going well in Ohio!

Jean - I forgot to ask you about the Donor Quilt.  Do you need help basting it?

Mare - you're FuNnY!!!  Thanks for the laughs!  ; D  Hey, don't forget to buy the WINNINGEST Quilt Mama Lottery Tickets for Saturday!!!  I added a Trader Joe's link to our blog for you. Check it out. And, the Ardmore store is right next to the Farmer's Market...where they have a Chaddsford Wine store!  Two birds with one stone...one, two, one, two, one, two...; 0

Peggy - GOOD to see you!!!  You & yours have been in our thoughts & prayers!

Cath - best wishes & prayers to your co-worker & her family.  Thanks for your email about the BMH names & the address.  

LA - Praise be-e about your Mom!!!  That was GOOD news!  ; )  Thanks for driving me last evening. I appreciate it!

Dolores - glad you had a good time @ Disney!!!  Wasn't Soarin' unbelievable...dare I cay magical even?!  ; )

Mo - oooh!!!  I can't wait to SEE the NEW digs!!!  Glad to hear things are going relatively smoothly! It's exciting!!!  Your quilt is BEAUTIFUL!!!  : )  Thanks for sharing!

Lor - can you tell us the dates you & John will be in TX?  Do you guys need help with the kids or anything?  Do you have the table runner prepped to take along to stitch?

I added J. Hittle to our shopping links, ladies.  Their website is a bit tough to navigate, but worth the effort. They run weekly specials that are hard to beat!  This is the place I buy Schmetz needles in a box of 100. I've bought other things from their website too & have always had a positive experience.

Thanks girls for asking about our building plans.  And, for listening to our change plans!  I don't know that we'll be buying anything soon.  We're sort of thinking maybe in a year or so...?!

Are we having Bee next week?  Wednesday?  Where?!  There's still show 'n tell from the Beach...?! Plus, I'm sure there will be-e more by next week!!!???

Remember, room #34.  But, what was the waitresses name...?

Take care & enjoy your evening.

Birthday Celebration!!!

Don't forget tonight's dinner @ the Lamb Tavern! 6:45 girlie girls! : ) If I drive to someone's house can I go with you to the restaurant? Or, should we all meet somewhere & pile into the "quilting clown car...?!" I'll check back for a comment when I get up, so don't be-e surprised if you don't hear from me & I just show up @ your house.

Did anyone else receive the Hershey Quilt Odyssey class booklet? I'll make a copy & bring it along. There are some good classes listed!!! Karen is going to be teaching her latest-newest-not yet seen project!!!

See you soon! Enjoy your day.

Fat Tuesday

Good Morning Mama's,

Happy Fat Tuesday! That might be PHat Tuesday for some...?! I grew up anticipating Faschnaut Day. Our faschnauts were served with powdered sugar or molasses. Geez, I haven't had a faschnaut in decades!

Dolores - it was GOOD to hear from you! If you have Disney pix from your trip will you bring them along to the Lamb Tavern? Have you gotten to sew with Gracie yet since you're home?!

Does anyone know if Lois left for Ohio? Were they driving? I hope she took some hand stitching along with her!

Mare - enjoy this last few days of 49! ; )

Mo - I didn't email you, but I'm thinking you already know I'll be-e @ the Lamb Tavern tomorrow evening. Nine of us, right? I'm ordering a steak...!!! ; ) How's your kitchen coming along?

LA - it was good to hear from you too! : ) How's your Mom doing? What's the news with Sean? How's that Kevin baby? And the girls, Gerry & YOU?!

Alright ladies, time for me to fly! Take care & don't get blown away in a gust of wind!
