GABBY!

When it comes to sewing � we�ve gotta �hook �em young!�

And just the smile on this sweet face should tell you that not only does she want to be a quilter when she �grows up�.� but she already is one, having made a quilt for her baby cousin when he was born.

Gabby is headed into the big world of third grade in just a few weeks, and we were so happy to have her in class supervising her mama!

She also took on such chores as pressing, and overseeing the �purple cutting thing!

When All Goes Awry, SEW!

Sometimes you just gotta say �It is what it is!� and let it be what it is. Such was the case yesterday � because things happen. When the Quilter�s Date Keepers and Quilty Pencil Sets were arriving, I took inventory of what I had in the shipping supplies department, and quickly placed a reorder for my usual Amazon Prime bubble mailers. They are usually here in two days, the shipping is free with prime, and we�d be good to go � they would arrive after our 4th of July holiday.

A federal holiday means that local, county, state and federal offices and agencies are closed. Which includes the Post Office � but not Quiltville! Yesterday was a busy travel day for me, on the way to the Indianapolis airport by 7am, making my connection in Atlanta and home by early afternoon. It didn�t give me much chance to write a veteran�s memorial post the way I wanted to, so like the federal agencies mentioned above, I�m observing TODAY and keeping these folks in my thoughts. While not a typical veteran herself, my grandmother was raising small children while her husband, my grandfather was in the US Navy.

It was a Bad Hair Saturday. But it was a good quilting day! Mona and I pushed it to the max as we quilted SIX projects � SIX! And by the time she left, I had pulled out a seventh � something that had been hanging around since 2004. We were on a roll, and there was no time like the present to do it, and no reason to stop this quilting train. Did You Click to Read the Whole Story?
