Happenings and A Bit Of Sewing…Bragging About My Friend Beth and REHAB!!!!

  Another fun filled week for sure!!  Our girl came for a short visit this week…there was time to race Big Dot on the driveway.  So much laughing…it just made me think it wasn’t that long ago it was my girl and her brother racing on the driveway.  

Wednesday  at sewing it was Mystery Project day…..we get a basic supply list and have no idea what we are going to make.  Half the fun is harassing Joan and Theresa (our teachers), and lots of whining about not knowing what the project is…they never disappoint us, and always come up with something great…a sweet Posey Pouch to hold Easter Eggs.

My friend Loretta, who came to class,  once again came up with a beautiful glass creation.   

 

The candlestick on the bottom is the perfect touch.  I love it Loretta!!!!

 

Tonight I whipped up a quick bunny runner.   I’m not very good at day pictures, but night pictures, well ……I’m really bad at those :-)!!

 

 

 

 

 

Now to tempt you a bit…this is going to be this months giveaway for Christmas Through The Year.

A mini bowtie quilt.  I plan to get the binding on this weekend.  If you make a Christmas gift this month you will be in the running for a chance to win this mini.  Darlene will have Mr. Linky up on April 30th for you to post your finished project!

Now to brag about my friend Beth.    It’s so wonderful to watch a friend follow their dreams.  After retiring from teaching two years ago and moving to New Mexico, she right away purchased a long arm machine…something she had wanted to do for a long time.  Then like any good quilter, she searched out and found a wonderful group of quilters to hang out with, which lead her to meeting a new friend Ruth.  The two of them have teamed up together to start a quilt retreat business!!!!!  Their site is here.   They both recently attended classes with Eleanor Burns at Quilt In A Day to be certified as teachers.  These ladies are on the ball for sure!!!   So if you are looking for a quilt escape in beautiful New Mexico, please check them out!!!   Their Spring retreat is scheduled for the end of April.

One last thing….I’m in REHAB….Sinta’s BOM Rehab!  Check it out here.  This weekend I will be getting a block or two done from one of my BOM’s hanging around…..now which one to pick…hmmmmm??!!! Happy, happy Friday everyone and a very happy Easter!
