Thanks for visiting!

Now, I need to go visit Nancy!

[Geneva C.]

Nancy, your knitting projects are so pretty. I really like your quilt too. I'm looking forward to seeing a close up of your quilting. You do such amazing work!

Terry, your post came at just the right time! My 6 and 4 yr old granddaughters are coming for a visit and I was looking for something easy to sew with them! Your little one is so cute! How did you decide how much fabric to buy for each dress? Shall I measure around their chest?

Thanks! geneva

[Terry K.]

Geneva,
Yes, measure around the chest. By the time the seam is sewn, it makes it a little smaller. With our iffy weather here. . .one day 80 degrees then next 65 degrees, the dress is large enough that she could wear a t-shirt under the dress on the cooler days. The fabric was sold by the inch.

[Pat L.]

Terry, Loved the story, you must be so proud of this budding designer. She is adorable and so cute in her dress, thanks for sharing, Pat

[Terry K.]

Pat, yes, she was cute in her dress and I'm proud of her designing skills. It was so much fun to create the dress together and have her so tuned in to each and every step! Thank you!

Hi Wendy,
Are you going to the festival of quilts at the N E C this year? I hope to go and have the accommodation booked the only thing that will stop me is my health.
I don't think Pam is going this year but I would love to meet up with anyone else going,....... usual place inside main entrance 1pm
I will be there Thursday and Friday.
I'm really looking forward to it as I haven't been to any shows since Sandown last year, I am hoping to go to that 17th --19th June.
I haven't done any sewing since last November I go to my sewing room and just stand there and I don't know what to do so I need inspiration.
Looking forward to hopefully meet up with old friends
Anne

Hi Anne nice to see you and sorry your health isn't good. I will go but not made any plans yet, so looking forward to meeting up. There'll be lots there to get you started again. How about a class or just breathe in all the lovely fabric B)

[Catherine S.]

Anne, I will say a prayer your health allows you to go to the show. What a wonderful way to get inspiration!. Hope you and Wendy have a wonderful time. Take some pictures for us.

[ANNE E.]

Thank you Wendy and Cathy, I don't feel ill but on Friday I am having an Angiogram and maybe a stent depending on what they find.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
Anne

[wendy w.]

Eeek good luck, will be thinking of you xxx

[Lois B.]

Anne, You'll be in my prayers on Friday, and after. You have been through a lot. I am sure this upcoming procedure is heavy on your mind. Take care. Be kind to yourself. It's next to impossible to feel creative or inspired when we're not feeling our best. It's a great time to enjoy the creativity of others. I believe you'll be feeling better soon. Keep us posted. We'll be looking for news after Friday.

[Lois B.]

Yikes Anne sending positive thoughts your way too!
Take care, Barb

[ANNE E.]

Thank you all.....I will be glad when it is over.
Hopefully will just be in hospital for one day.
Anne

[Dawn S.]

Anne, I'll be praying for you! My DH has had that done a few times, and all is well in that department. Last time, they did it through the wrist, outpatient. Modern medicine is incredible! (But, I had to drive him to work for a few days, so he complained about that saying he was "just fine!")
Hopefully, the quilt show will get your creative juices going! I suppose adjusting to the single life has a lot to do with the low mojo. But, it is good to see you back with us!

BJ, I shared my Hoffman Challenge over on the Virtual Retreat Forum. I am in the quilting stage of it, now. How is yours coming?
