Well, It's About TIME!

Sorry people...been MIA. I don't know why...just takin' time off I guess! Actually, I have a new computer and figuring out all the picture things has been weird. That's not to say that I haven't been busy. Last month Joan and I went to the Sister's Retreat at Carolyn's in Florida. What a FABULOUS time we had. Always over way too soon though. Here are a few pictures of us! We stitched, stitched, and stitched. Did a whole lot of just spending time together.

Here we are at Rainbow's End; a fabulous quilt store in Dunedin. This place is a regular stop when we go to Florida.



I spent most of my travel $$ at this store buying oodles and oodles of fabulous hand-dyed silk ribbons. I don't know what I'm going to do with them all but I'm sure I'll enjoy them for a long time to come! Actually, I get looking at this picture and realize that I bought much more than this...I hadn't made it to the register at this point in the shopping trip.



Here is a picture of us at Carolyn's "Sisters Meet and Greet" Carolyn had a little stitching open house for us and all her stitching friends on Saturday afternoon. It was SO MUCH FUN meeting all of her stitching friends! What a memorable event it was! I enjoyed meeting all her friends. What a fabulous bunch of ladies! We had Cari's "fabulous Mormon Salad", a broccoli salad, and a grape salad. Yum Yum! Fun times! Joan made our fabulous aprons!




Cari and Cherie!







Here I am after too many fun days in a row! A little case of the "vapors" LOL!



Here is Joan after too many fun days in a row!



And here is our "Hostess with the Mostest" Ms Cari in front of her fabulous Blackbird Sampler Wall! Oh how I love all those beautiful pieces Cari!


Thank you so much for a fabulous time sister!
I ♥ U!

Next post will be "things I've been stitching, punching, and finishing!"
