Quilting Daze

Wow! what an action packed week and it’s only Thursday! Monday was a Yards of Fun quilt shop field trip out here at Beulah Land and I had such a fantastic time. Seldom do you meet people who are instant friends, but that’s what happened. Diana and Dorothy (Y of F owners) brought Pat and Linda out with them and we were kindred spirits all the way around. L-R are Linda, Dorothy, Diana and Pat. Diana tried out the new frame … which was great ’cause now I have some really NICE looking stitches for my models.

Quick harvest of the cold frame and grow house supplied part of lunch. The first cutting of broccoli!

Did you know that Feb. 21 is National Make a Blanket Day? Check out the National Project Linus site at: http://www.projectlinus.org/mabd.html

Linda, Pat and I gathered with Diana on Wed. for a binding party at Yards Of Fun in Bonham, which is located on Sam Rayburn Dr., just off the square. 903-583-6342.

Diana skittered around between sewing on bindings and teaching her normal class for Wednesdays. Don’t know how she keeps sane going in 10 directions at once and answers the phone, but I’m glad I was just minding a needle.

Pat and Linda really are working…. no, really, trust me, they are! Pat was telling me how cosmopolitan Bonham is….I can’t wait to do this again.

Doug Risings of Cutting Edge came by to pick up scissors for sharpening - he did a great job! Contact Diana at Yards of Fun for his info if you’re in the Bonham, TX area.

It’s been a busy week for a hermit like me. Definitely time for a nap!
