This week end went so fast! I went to a leture with Cheryl Barnes from goldenthreads.com which was really interesting! She had great ideas and a lot of tips! I bought that Dot stamper, you put a dot on a paper pattern, plastic stencil or even your ruler to hold them in position exactly where you want them and it does not stick to the fabric!
I also put the binding on 2 soldier's quilts, that was all I had to do on those... and I put the binding on 2 baby quilts to be donated, those I quilted...
Been busy is a wonderful thing!

Tonight, I am really excited! I just found out ( Thanks to Docia and Beth from The Quilt Merchant!) that I am going to get to see one more time Jo Morton before my big move! I love her! And she is coming to a quilting guild 2 hours away! Yeah!

This morning, I gave a demo on making French bread, that was fun! Then I went to my little Civil War club where I had great time! We exchanged our small 4-patches, they are really cute! I think I will start to put them together... I can't wait to see the progress of that quilt, it will mean a lot to me, an exchange with some really good friends!

This week end was a Shop Hop week end! I had to do it as it will be my last one for a while... so I went with my BBF! It was fun! I bought that little wallhanging kit and made it Sunday! I love it and it was really easy!
I also finished some stars for a swap, a bit late but they are now in the mail! And I made a bunch of 4-patches for another swap! They finish 2", very cute!
I am making some French bread as tomorrow, I am going to do a demo for some friends... So I have a baguette dough and a brioche dough in the rising process...

A nice surprise was waiting on my front door! I received those 2 books!
This afternoon, I am going to help the kids at the Middle School to sew for Project Linus...

Today was the first basketball game of the season of my other daughter and they won! They were so excited!
Then, I had a guild meeting, Susan Cleveland was the guestt speaker. Here is her website:

She is so funny! It was nice to spend the evening with her!


Talk to you soon...

Sad news

Today we received the confirmation that we will have to move back to France at the end of March. I am really sad as I was so happy here in the States with a lot of good friends... The economy is tough right now, I know and at least my husband will still have a job...but still I am so sad... The only good thing is that at least my daughter will be able to finish her basketball season at her school...

This week end, I put the binding on a wounded soldier quilt and I finished knitting the back of a new sweater...

Another progress

And yesterday I pieced 2 easy runners, I now have to go shopping for a binding...

A good day!

Today, I managed to finish quilting a friend's quilt and I love it!
