You are all wecome to come out here again! Maybe we can get the new deck in by then.

I also have "the park" area if anyone wants to RV or camp out.
(DH will have it mowed by then~a little overgrown right now.)

I'm thinking about inviting everybody over Labor Day weekend (for one day only), but haven't talked to DH yet.

Feathers quote to Sherryl, trying out your long arm would be such fun. I've wanted a LA forever and passed on the chance to get one a few years ago when that was what my DH said he wanted to get me for Christmas/birthday and I told him not to as I didn't think I was a good enough or knowledge enough quilter to have a LA....was I nuts? The offer has never come up again! :-(

I'm packing my bags for November![/quote]

Feathers I would love to have you come in November, but I feel that I need to tell you now that my longarm machine is on the second floor - so that means a flight and a half of stairs (18 total). I have the master bedroom down on the ground floor that you can use, but the longarm is upstairs. Wish there was someway I could bring it down for you but that would be a major production and I don't think DH would allow me to do that. Everything else will be set up on the ground floor for sewing, eating and whatever else.

Thanks and looking forward to November,
Sherryl

Here goes making another baby quilt! :)

My DIL is due July 15th, but hoping for an earlier delivery. I haven't made the new baby a quilt yet. We had a shower June 12th, and she received lots of lady bug motif items. I'll keep you all posted.

We have a baby girl born June 25th at 6:03 a.m.. Her name is Olivia Grace. She weighed in at 6 pounds and 6 ounces and is 19" tall. I'm going to meet her tomorrow for the first time! And I got her older sister's quilt done! You can see at on the board at "My granddaughter's quilt".

That sounds great, Alice! Do you have any idea when you would like to do it?

Congratulations, Carol! Hope Mom & baby are doing well. We have grandbaby #2 due Sept 1st. Can't wait :-)

KarenBarnes 06-27-2011 05:54 PM

Yay, Carol! So glad that she arrived safely and that you got the quilt done! You definitely were busy at the retreat.

I just found out that neither of my sons in FL will be able to come to our family reunion next month and that mom and baby might not make it either! :( This long distance grandma stuff stinks!!!

quiltingnonie 06-27-2011 07:55 PM

Ohhh, so sorry Karen. WHY the heck do our kids have to move away?????? :thumbdown:

KarenBarnes 06-27-2011 08:15 PM

That's why I always encouraged them to go to school locally but this son met his wife during his mission and then joined the Navy!
