This and That

Things have been a bit hectic around here. I hope to get back to regular posting soon.B has been clearing out his mom's house and getting it fixed up, painted, and ready for sale. I'm trying to merge some of her items into our home, like this dessert china set that was hers. I plan to use it for birthday parties - we'll start next week with a special half century birthday celebration!Back in September I went to Gwen Marston's last quilt retreat. She is retiring and will not be hosting the retreats any longer. The good news is that long time retreat members Pat Holly and Sue Nickels will be taking over. The 2014 retreat is called Quilting the Quilt. Deciding on and designing the quilting for a quilt is the biggest hurdle for me in making a quilt. I signed up for this retreat next year and I know I'll learn a lot from these two talented ladies. This will be a great workshop for thinking about the quilting even from the very beginning of a quilt design. I am eager to learn a lot about Quilting the Quilt from these two talented ladies. Registration is open for next year so go sign up for a great retreat - don't delay, the second week is already full.
