FOUR DAYS

That's right:


FOUR DAYS UNTIL SPRING FLING QUILT CAMP


I spent this weekend getting everything printed, packed, and ready for Quilt Camp. Many surprises are planned along with a fantastic mystery by Beth Karr. I really look forward to a wonderful weekend.


Time was also spent working on my 12 days of Christmas block. Didn't finish it, so, you will just have to wait to see my completed block. However, I do have a small top that I pieced last weekend. It is Peekaboo Monkeys for a special little person. Now, how do I quilt it?
I think that I need to stabilize it first with some stitch in the ditch, but then I don't have a clue as to where to go from there. Hopefully the quilt will "talk" to me after that.
After next weekend I should have alot of pictures to show (blackmail) many people. I hope to post the completed mystery while we are at Camp. I have not been in a position to get a good picture, I hope to do that before I leave on Thursday.
The weather in South Carolina today was perfect. Spring is coming, Spring is coming.
Have a great week.

The Year of Applique'

This is what arrived in today's mail. This is the first block for the Twelve Days of Christmas Block of the month that I am starting. The blocks look very nice and I am looking forward to working on this one. THIS IS NOT MY BLOCK--I CAPTURED THE PICTURE FROM THE WEBSITE.




This isn't the only one I ordered. I have 2 others that are also applique' that will start arriving soon. So, it appears that this will be the year of applique' for me. These are my projects:

1) The Be Attitudes--fusible machine applique
2) The Twelve Days of Christmas--needle turn
3) William Morris and Friends--needle turn ????
4) My Whimsical Garden--needle turn ???

These are all applique!!!!!! What am I thinking!!!! I am not so sure that I will needle turn all of the last three. Hmmmmm, something to think about.

Still working on preparations for Spring Fling Quilt Camp. Busy, busy, weekend and the weather is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Enjoy,

More Snow Picutes

We spent most of this weekend enjoying the snow. It was the best type of snow to have: Snowed Friday night then most of it was gone by Saturday afternoon. Saturday we woke up to pristine white snow and a crystalline blue sky. Yep, God is good. So, I want to share what all of the Greer's did for snow play.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT EITHER









Last weekend, my son, Dusty, appeared in a womanless beauty pagent. This was to raise money for Greenhill Baptist Church.

This is Dusty with his sister Victoria.





This is Dusty with his Dad--Dick.












This is Miss Congeniality, My son, Dusty.
This was the most fun I have had in many months. I don't know when I have laughed as hard.
I actually have video, but, I was laughing so hard that I couldn't keep the camera still.
Quilt Camp is coming soon !!!!!!!!
