Friends

 Just a quick post before I head out for the day.

It was great to see Jackie this week here in Rhode Island! We met for a quick dinner on Wednesday, where we commiserated about daughters in college and guild politics.  Then my mother and I went to her lecture on Thursday night. Look how cute she is! (And not dorky at all!)

I was busy this week making some paper pieced lapel pins. I'm so lucky to have a friend willing to sell them for me. I'm a horrible business person. I'd rather just sew!

We have some fun weekend plans:

White elephant sale (older folks selling great vintage items!)

Quilt Show at Quilters by the Sea

Marine Corps band concert

Eagle Scout Court of Honor for Pete's best friend

It's time to get started!

Quilters' Day Out

Where do quilters go for fun?

A great quilt shop, of course!


Rose was very sweet to take this photo of us with 3 cameras!

Karen, me, Maria and Jackie


And where do quilters go when they are finished shopping?
Out to lunch, of course!

Maria (not a blogger) and Jackie

Karen & me (pretend I'm 50 pounds lighter)

The loot:
Miscellaneous pretty fabric and a jazz band print.
A cute little paper pieced pattern.

Jackie was so sweet to bring us all a little gift- a charm pack of Moda Tinsel Time.
And she delivered my pattern purchase from her shop.

After lunch, we all had to run home for kid-related reasons.
We said goodbye with plans to meet again at another shop someday.
Maybe you can join us next time!

P.S. My post from yesterday was linked to Craft Gossip!
How cool is that? Hello, CG linkers!
