Mimi Dietrich visited the shop again this past weekend to do a book signing on her new book "A Quilter's Diary". She is just the sweetest person and so knowledgeable. She was handing out very cool 6 1/2" squares with the purchase of her book on Saturday and it was many hours of amusement to my co-worker Sharon. It really does glow.

Next, I have picked up a few new books from work....


And lookie and see what Cheryl gave me, a lime green basket!

And last night was another mile stone to freedom. . . . . my baby, the youngest of 4, graduated from 5th grade! EPP! No more elementary kids in the house. I'm feeling sad and elidated, funny how that works sometimes:

Making my plans for San Antonio in 11 days.....not looking forward to the HEAT down there, but I love San Antonio, my 2nd oldest was born there and I haven't been back in over 15 years---yah I know it's changed a bit--going to the Husqvarna Viking Annual Convention and release of new machines. It's going to be exciting and the opportunity to see/meet Martha Stewart to boot......ok, I'll admit the best bonus is seeing my wonderful friend Anjea and going quilt shop hopping!!
I'm working today, but am off Wed & Thurs, so sewing will commence again!
Oh wow, your little baby is growing up - Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteBTW Is that the triangular ruler that Judy used for her HAD quilt?
Thank you, Karol-Ann! I have no clue, but it's a comment triangle ruler and works nicely, once I figured out how to sew the pieces together LOL :)
Yeah, it's already hotter 'n hell down here...bring shorts, sandals, etc. :/
ReplyDeleteWhat was the brand of rulers you were talking about that have the grippy stuff on them that doesn't wear off?
Problem with shorts and sandals, it's not very professional :( Hence my problem with what "nice" clothes to bring to Texas.
Creative Grids....I LOVE THEM. Their marking are also thinner (can be a challenge) so it actually aids in more accurate cutting!
Hi Toni!!! You have been sooooo busy! So when is the next mini swap?? I really enjoyed this one!
