Well it is a quiet Sunday afternoon and I'm busy getting ready to pack. My hubby and I are going on a cruise to the Mexican Riviera next Friday. I decided that I needed a little bag for formal night, so I whipped up a cute little Lazy Girl bag. Lazy Girl patterns are so fun and quick. I should really be quilting some client's quilt but today just seems to be a "get ready for trip" day. So I also made a pair of "Island Pants", they just wrap around and tie and are great when it's hot. Lugged the suitcases upstairs and started to lay out the summer clothes that will go with us. Yesterday and Friday were busy "work" type days, looking for new pop up displays for market, new furniture for the soon to be new office for Cedar Canyon Textiles, and a guild meeting for my longarm quilters group. For "Show and Tell" Sandi Irish and I brought along the quilt we collaborated on for the Minnesota Quilters Show and Conference, it will be the raffle quilt. Sandi designed and constructed the quilt and I quilted it. This photo is of Sandi showing off the quilt. I'm hiding behind it holding up the other corner. We have a great group of quilters, that not only quilt for a business but we all are piecers too. We also have members that win top prizes at the shows, we have national teachers and a couple of our members write for some of the quilting magazines and some are pattern designers and longarm pattern designers, both for pantographs and for digitized quilting. This week will be busy again, but hopefully that will help make the time go faster. Our grandson is finally home and is now out of the Navy. He called yesterday and he'll come out to see his grandma sometime this week. Probably not until after his fiance' goes back to college. Our weather has been fairly mild the last couple weeks but it is suppose to get real cold now by Thursday. Just in time for us to be off to warmer climates. Yea!!! I have been out wandering around in blog land and have found so many fun blogs. Haven't had time to leave messages yet but plan to do so soon. So watch for me and please leave a note to say Hi.
