Day of Meditation

It did not quite turn out to be quite what I had hoped for. It was so cold in the room that I had my winter jacket on most of the day. I wished that I had brought a quilt. I kept thinking that I could be home quilting. Oh well, I am looking forward to working on my Nativity scene after supper. I sure am glad for quilter friends cuz they inspire me to get things done. Wed. night at our Crescentwood group, I worked on it and who knows this year might see it completed.

Blog Visiting

I find it so interesting to visit other people's blogs. I hopped over to K's today and there was a button about a giveaway. Well, my curiosity was piqued so over I went to that. It's LeKaQuiltgiveawaycontest. I had fun entering even if I don't win and found another blog to follow.

Amazing places to quilt

This past weekend, my dh and I went over to our ds's house. Bruce helped Ian with moulding and I visited with Stephanie. While she was busy with her nieces and nephews, I hand-sewed a letter or two onto a Christmas wall-hanging. Nothing like having quilting to go. That reminded me to check when our next guild meeting is as I will probably take some hand quilting there. I have some handwork to finish before Christmas that I started last year and thought for sure that I'd have it finished by this Christmas. Is there anyone else like that out there? I promise that one of these days, there will be pictures on this blog. M's going to help me. Have a good day.

Fantastic Retreat

St. Malo Retreat was fantastic as usual. I put the borders on the quilt top that I worked on at Stacy's retreat and Myra graciously helped me with an envelope purse. I quilted for the first time with invisible thread and that was quite the experience. It was blessed several times as I kept re-threading the machine. By the end of my sewing time Friday evening, I was starting to be cross-eyed. Throughout the weekend, there were many times I laughed so hard that I was ready to go buy some depends. One of these days, I will surprise everyone with pictures.
