The kindness of bloggers

The kindness of quilters has been confirmed for me by quilters who are bloggers. I really appreciate everyone who has welcomed me, especially ladies who have done so when asked to by someone who knows me, aka, Myra and Katherine. Well, we three ladies are off to St. Malo for a quilt retreat and I'm going to hunt for "our" camera but hubby seems to keep hiding it. Oops, still have to pack my clothes. Well, beddings ready so important things first, grin.

Getting ready for retreat

Today, I got my bobbins ready for the retreat this weekend and stopped at Superstore and got my glasses adjusted. Thought it was time when I was taking them off to do closework. Decided that wasn't good for a quilt weekend so got the bifocals in the right spot. I guess it's a sign of mature years when that's a requirement of getting ready for a quilt retreat, lol. Now, to get my projects ready. I wonder if I'm the only one to get my quilting ready, then my clothes. Important things first, I say. Oh yes, also stopped to get some goodies to put on the cookies I'm making. Can't say what in case Myra reads this post. Yesterday, I went to the chiropractor so my back's in order also. I'm tuned up, the machine's tuned up and thing's are looking good.

Hope to get quilting today

It was exciting to see your comment Myra. Finally figured out where to go to approve comments. This is a learning experience for sure, grin. I'm hoping to get quilting this afternoon. I need to figure out what I'm taking to the retreat next weekend and help Joanne with games. I think I'll work on my envelope bag.

Hello

My name is Dianne. I am new to this world of blogging. I have the good fortune to take a class from a lady who belongs to one of my groups. I love quilting but sometimes it doesn't always do what I want it to. Does that happen to anyone else? I aim for quality but stigmatisms in my eyes prevent me from aiming for perfection. However, I am glad that my eyes allow me to still quilt.
