Yo Yo Mama

Have you seen this post from BunnyHill about YoYo's? I read a suggestion a while back from another blog to save your scraps each year of the projects you do that year. I have a container of 2009 scraps. Wouldn't it be cute to do Anne's idea using the scraps for each year's projects. You could have a 2009 jar, a 2010 jar, etc. Too cute!!

Unnecessary Body Parts

Urrrr! As one of our last hurrahs before school starts again my husband and I went to Mississippi to visit his mom. In case you don't know it feels like they fry everything but water in Mississippi. We enjoyed a lovely fried catfish meal until it upset my little gall bladder. Two days later I had another attack. Long story short is I had my gall bladder removed Wednesday. As I am a school nurse, school started for staff yesterday. Uhhh, what a mistake to try and return to work a day and a half after surgery. Needless to say I will be reclining most of the weekend. No quilting for me. I will never finish...

Sister's Update

I'm back from my trip to the Northwest. Ahhh, warm sunny days, cool nights...

I had a great time with my mom and sisters. Lot's of quilt related activity with mom. I wish my sisters sewed.

Our trip to Sisters was nice but it seemed as if there were fewer quilts this year. They were spread out throughout the town which made for a lot of walking for mom. She did pretty well for 73 years old.

Here's a few pictures though I can't really give credit to the makers. My apologies.

Don't Hate Me

I am wrapping up my three week vacation in the Pacific Northwest. Today we head to Sisters for the best Outdoor Quilt Show in the world! I will snap many pictures and will post when I return on Tuesday. I have had a fabulous time with my mom and sisters. Mom and I started out the vacation by going on the Western Washington Quilt Shop Hop. It is the largest shop hop in the US and maybe the world. We visited 52 out of 56 shops. On this hop the stores give you most if not all that you need to complete their block. Makes for a nice quilt. It is so fun and of course beautiful seeing the scenery in Washington. I recommend everyone go next year. See you there!

Sewn

Check out the new website for sewers (people who sew, not pipes for you know what). It officially launches June 8 but if you click on the button to the right you can read about all the features. Plus there is going to be a ton of giveaways.

I'm a winner!

I am obsessed with reading other people's blogs. I don't comment much except if someone is having a give away I am interested in. Lo and behold, I won. I commented on a give away by Willowberry Designs http://www.willowberrydesign.typepad.com/ and won a gorgeous one of a kind hand done piece to be backstitched. I am so excited. I never win anything. And it's one of a kind. I will have something no one else has. I can hardly wait to get it.

Happy Birthday Princess

My baby turned 26 yesterday. It was a great weekend. She flew in from Washington, DC for her birthday and Easter. Mostly she flew in to see her nephew who she calls "Roadie". His name is also a major road in our area. He is the cutest. Love ya, Liza Jane.
