Spring certainly is a time of beginning again. The garden calls most of us, amazing how many quilters love gardening as well, so some of our quilting time is spent playing in the dirt. But the work spent is rewarded with beautiful flowers, wonderful vegetables and a lovely yard. The nicer weather begs us outdoors for other fun things, walks, picnics, leisurely drives in the country, sitting on the porch, riding our bicycles and a dozen other blessings. We can squeeze quilting in there somewhere especially with take along hand projects. Quilt Shop Hops are another fun thing to add to our list. My husband and I "did" the Oregon coast Shop Hop 101 in February. It was great. 12 different quilt shops to visit for new inspiration, a fabric fix & meeting lots of fun quilters not to mention the shopping. But.... I did come home with money, I had my envelope with my budgeted amount for the hop and it actually had some cash left in it. Well--- I did use the credit card a few times. :-) If there is a shop hop in your area or even is it's not in your area, it makes for a great adventure and I guarentee when you arrive back home you'll be ready to get back into your sewing room ! ! !
Our "Operation Tango Mike" basket is for items for our troops in Iraq. Please help keep our basket full. Items are picked up monthly by a veteran and taken to the Tango Mike packing place. Thanks! Just think about what you'd like if you were over there & know that it makes them smile. Sew warmly~~Kerrie So teach us to number our days, that we may present to Thee a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12
