My sister hasn't been up in over 2 years and I only see her at Thanksgiving. (She's from St Louis) But my DH is going on a fishing trip and she's coming up for a long sewing weekend!! Carrying her sewing machine on the plane and putting the rest in checked bags....except her AccuQuilt Go dies - her DH is shipping those for her (wait 'til he picks up that box!!).
A fun time we'll have staying up sewing til we can't see anymore, shopping for whatever we want (fabric of course) and eating what and when we want. I better go get the biggest bag of M&M's there is.....She's not coming until Spt 8 but I'm so excited I just had to tell someone!!

Cool you will have a blast!

sounds like you need to get plenty of rest before she comes

What fun! I would give the world if any of my sisters shared this quilting passion with me. You are so lucky!

sparkys_mom 08-05-2011 04:49 PM

That will be so much fun for you. I hope you don't have to wait two years for it to happen again.

annthreecats 08-05-2011 04:50 PM

Sounds like fun. I always wished I had a sister (I have two older brothers, bah).

QuiltingGrannie 08-05-2011 04:56 PM

Have fun! Take pics and share the fun with us.

Me too!!! I have five sisters and not a single one of them sew. I'm working on my daughters though. Teehee!

Have a great time :)

Celeste 08-05-2011 05:01 PM

That sounds like so much fun!

Buckeye Rose 08-05-2011 05:08 PM

I am so jealous.....I have a sister that sews, but she lives in KY, me in Indiana. I have 4 girls and none of them have picked up the quilting bug. So I quilt alone and use them for quilt inspectors. They all like the quilts I make and all of them have them on their beds! What I wouldn't give to have a sister close to me to have the time to chat and sew. :cry: :cry:

luckylindy333 08-05-2011 05:11 PM

You are sew lucky! DM and I sew together sometimes, though, so I cannot be too jealous.

GreatStarter 08-05-2011 05:34 PM

How wonderful, enjoy your time together. Make sure you LAUGH too!

The only sister I have is 22 yrs younger and we have Nothing in common -wish I had someone like that to sew or something with. She maybe wishes the same.

GwynR 08-05-2011 05:49 PM

That's so wonderful! I have a sister that sews, but she is in Va Beach, and that is sooo far away. :(

Wow.. You will have a great time.. Wish my sister sewed.. I'm going to MO to hang out on my friends farm , but I'm also helping her with a memory quilt.. One of my favorite parts is hanging with her mom who is a quilter.. Love picking her brain..

Dianemarie 08-05-2011 08:46 PM

Oh you are going to have so much fun ! My sis is coming in October and we hope to have fun.. I was thinking of having her help me organize my sewing area .... now I feel a little guilty maybe we should just sew.....

AFQSinc 08-05-2011 09:09 PM

Sounds like so much fun! You're going to have a great time.

Gramof6 08-05-2011 09:40 PM

You 2 will have such a wonderful time!!!! Such fun memories to be made. Be sure to take pics for the both of you to have.

That's great! It certainly is something to look forward to!

My sister comes up for a visit once a year from Virginia. I love it when we spend the night up late, chatting and sewing. I always wish we lived closer to each other.

hahaha, yea when I go down to see her at Thanksgiving, we always do some rearranging in her sewing area too!

duckydo 08-06-2011 04:52 AM

That is really nice. My oldest sister and I get together once a month and sew, we only live 2 hours away from each other so we can do it more often. Enjoy your sister while you can, my other sister lost her battle with lung cancer in Feb, she lived 1400 miles away so I did not get to enjoy her near as much as I wanted. Sisters are such an important part of your life.

Happy Dance!!!!

joycecil 08-06-2011 05:44 AM

Have lots of fun with your sis. The time flies faster, the older you get, so enjoy it now!! :D

baglady65 08-06-2011 09:29 AM

Wish I has a sister to do that with..................

janiesews 08-06-2011 10:52 AM

You will have a blast! Enjoy yourselves.

hmross 08-06-2011 11:06 AM

I hope the two of you have a great time. The day of her arrival will be here before you know it.

Same here. Yes, it sounds like a lot of fun. Enjoy!

Katts 14 08-06-2011 03:23 PM

The M&M's made me laugh I'm going to my sister's in two weeks in W.V. to sew she allways has M&M's for me.

crazy cat lady 08-06-2011 04:07 PM

I'm blessed to have my sister close enough to walk to her house. Have a wonderful sewing visit! :lol:

Sandra in Minnesota 08-06-2011 04:29 PM

You are so lucky to have a sister. Enjoy each other.

Quiltinggma-nc 08-06-2011 04:33 PM

Enjoy your long weekend with your sister.

betlinsmom 08-06-2011 04:55 PM

Oh YEAH!!! Ms and hersheys kisses and hot tea!!! Have fun!!!

sylviasmom 08-06-2011 05:14 PM

None of my sisters quilt and only 2 sew. I don't care, I would be in heaven if they came to visit. They would have to tie me down and gag me if they wanted to get in a word edewise. That's how excited I would be.

RobertaMarie 08-06-2011 05:15 PM

So glad you can be with your sister doing something you both like. Go for it and have fun! Sisters are so special and I really miss mine. God's blessing on you for a wonderful weekend.
