Wow…am I ever on a different clock. Â I sat down to the computer and looked and I didn’t have a blog post up. Â Then I thought that’s okay. Â I often take Sunday nights off from blogging but then it dawned on me. Â It’s not Sunday. Â It’s Monday.
I took today off as a vacation day from childcare. Â So today I actually started working on Kalissa’s wedding quilt. Â Kelli was here and we had a plan of attack. Â She would start cutting…I would start sewing. Â Hubby had a meeting tonight so that gave me a free pass to the quilting room too so we cut and sewed and cut and sewed making some progress. Â She is almost done cutting but I am far from done sewing.
Plans are for her to be back on Saturday to finish up the cutting…hopefully I’ll have made lots more progress by then but before I get back to the quilting room I have to tackle my dining room table….
It’s filled with goodies that retreaters brought for me. Â I can’t tell you how blessed I feel…goodies for me and even goodies for my childcare kiddos. Â Thank you-thank you!! Â I had some chocolate from Mary today…AMAZING!! Â Hubby had some chocolate from Dorrine..wonderful too.
This week it’s my goal to find a place to put all the little keepsakes. Â I said something to Hubby hinting that maybe he could finish up on the cabinet that is going in the sewing room and his reply was-“What do you think I did the time you were gone?” Â He’s watching out for me too I guess.
In our sorting and clean up we found this ruler that was left at Deb’s in West Union. Â Is this anyone’s??
We also heard that Nell (West Union group) is missing her square ruler. Â It’s a square “cut for a cure” ruler. Â I am wondering if someone grabbed the wrong one by accident. Â If you could just drop me a note I’ll do my best to help get these returned to the right owners. Â Here’s my email…. Â rogjok@iowatelecom.net.
That wraps up today. Â I am off to bed….I’ll catch you in the morning. Â Â If you’re looking for more info the retreat check out Bonnie’s blog and Doris’ blog.
Thanks for looking out for me, I am missing the 7 inch square cut for the cure ruler with green lines on it. Thank you also for the trip down memory lane, I haven’t had waffle cookies in forever. I remember having them as a kid. Two ziplock bags of triangles sorted this morning, I am not starting yet, but I will be ready for Pineapple Crazy! :)
Jo, I just wanted you and Kelli how much I enjoyed the retreat in West Union. Our Nebraska contingent talked about which patterns we liked the most and which ones we would try to finish first. I can’t decide between the Thanks to You stars or the May Flowers as I love them both. They are so much fun! Thanks again, for a great retreat in a great venue and I am looking forward to seeing you at a retreat again in the future!
