Special post for my friend Lois

Here's a little tip for you, Lois. Get a foot that looks like this one in the pic. Its an open-toed embroidery foot and it makes seeing a whole lot easier. And curves.....easy as pie. I actually have had this foot for a while, but just started using it and its 

AAWWWEESSSOOOMMEEEE  ;)

 .....and to make you drool......here's a pic of my thread;) 

I need more.

Oh, and one more tip....never, EVER, eat yellow snow. Have a nice day.

Quilt Retreat

It was short but oh so sweet. I drove up to Belmont Wisconsin on Friday to attend the
Quilts by Barb retreat. I met Kim, from Project Quilting and Kim's Crafty Apple and she is just as sweet as I knew she would be. She sat me with herself and her friends and they were super welcoming and fun to hang out with. I wish I could have stayed thru til Monday but needed to come home Saturday night. I'm going to plan to attend next year for sure. Here's a few pics.

 Quilters Paradise above and lots of snacks below :)

They had a small store (above) and several demos (below).

Me and Kim. 

We had a little demo of our own telling the ladies about Project Quilting...which BTW...starts up again in January. WOOHOO!!! Season II won't be as long as the first season. Kim says there will probably be 5-6 challenges. I'm really looking forward to it :)

Beautiful Lulu

You might remember I sent a quilt to Utah for a fundraiser for Lulu, who needed a liver transplant. Well, she's since gotten her transplant and is doing marvelously. Thanks be to God! Go check out her blog to find out more about her, her wonderful family and awesome team of doctors (and a tiny bit about her angel donor.) There's also a great video of Lulu laughing which I tried to steal and post here but wasn't able to grab it...anyway, you'll just have to go see for yourself! Happy Sunday!
