QNS, cook them something nice :D They might want to come over more often ;)
Thanks for the compliment on my quilt!

They ask for beans and ham; they got beans and ham and butter beans...sent more home with them. Also raided my freezer and gave them frozen corn on the cob and cut corn for each family...DH had a blast with them and I loved hearing the laughter in the house.,,and dh so well entertained.

Dishes are all washed up and now I can relax a bit and rest my knee.

thanks for the site, Anael, Downloaded from Planet Patchwork the 2008-2009 Inner Peace quilt for the muted tones quilt in the future; and Silent Shimmer from 2012 quilt I can see in shimmering fabrics; and the Oh, MY Stars! for the 2010-2011 year.,,to hit now and again until its done.

When you return, QuiltE, we want to know where you went and what you did....inquiring minds want to know.

Jeanie, we want a picture of that new kitchen!

Mirabelle, a picture of that crown! Queen for the Day...

Kitchen still not completely done. The contractor got stuck on another job, so still have the gas cooktop to be installed, the oven to be hooked up and a couple of plugs to be finished. I put away as much as I could, and was blessed with a husband that opened all the boxes and a daughter that unwrapped everything and put it on the counter so I could try to put everything away. The problem with the new cupboards is that they are much smaller in size than the old ones. There are more cupboards and drawers, but they are so different. I was tearing my hair trying to decide where to put things. A lot of my larger Tupperware cake keeper type of stuff does not fit where it did before. So weird, the enter key stopped working on my fairly new keyboard! What next!!! Anyway, we are taking off for Phoenix on Thursday in our RV. We felt we just have to get away and visit with the grandkids. Don't know when we are coming home! LOL We will have internet there, so I'll be in touch. Guess I'll turn off my computer and see if it will bring my keyboard back to life, at least I can still type and my mouse still works! The back splash will not be done for a little while, and once it is all done I'll post a photo for everyone.

Here are some pics from my weekend adventure. DH decided that we would have Chinese Takeout for dinner last night, my poor aching back decided that it had had enough, so straight after dinner I had a hot shower and went to bed. DH brought me in a coffee and I think I had three sips and I was out like a light for the next 10 hours:D:D:D

First pic is of the room, lots of activity going on, next is DD and my set up in the corner with our sew-ezi tables and the ironing board in between us and see what is just finished, her first Spike block.

Then there is a pic of the group that make the Jelly Roll Race quilt tops (I'm not in it !!!!!)

Then there is the group photo taken every year, I have no makeup on, hair not done properly and it was freezing cold all weekend. I was hoping that the camera would break:D:D:D:D:D or the computer would die on me:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Mirabelle, is that you in the bright pink top, like you are trying to hide in the group picture??? Just guessing which one you are...

:D:D:DThe one in the bright pink top is my DD trying to hide behind me, I unfortunately had to stand front and centre with the stupid sash and crown on:D:D:D:D

We can tell your daughter looks up to you all the time. I like how you are standing tall, as "I am, as I am! Ready or not world here I come! Love it. A true Queen for the Day of Quilters.

Thanks for sharing your pictures Mirabelle :) Looks like you had lots of fun!
QNS, very well said!!
