THE TIME HAS ARRIVED

Pieceable retreat---------here we come!!!!!!!!!!

Fall retreat with the Quilters of South Carolina starts tomorrow at 11:00. This will be a great weekend.

Pat and I first have to help set up the 'Fiber Art' for Harvest Hope Foodbank's :

I understand that there are 6-8 pieces and Pat and I are charged with displaying them to their best advantage. I have borrowed racks from everyone. I have purchased black curtains to show the pieces to their best advantage. I just hope Pat and I can pull this off early and hit the road for Winnsboro in time for lunch. At the same time I certainly hope that Harvest Hope can get a bundle of $'s for all of the work. Since I can't be there, Mr. One Loose Thread will be attending. Now all I have to worry about is that he doesn't exceed the budget during the bidding. If there is one thing he really loves, it is an auction of any kind.

Oh yes, feel free to log onto the Harvest Hope website and make a contribution.

Have a great weekend. Hope to have lots of pictures by the end of the weekend.



Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!

I spent my afternoon with this young lady. We went to the 'new' JoAnn's--sob, sob, sob. The new store is like 15 miles away instead of 2 miles from my house. The store is very nice, but somewhat crowded. The fabric is packed together and difficult to see. This store is a 'Michael's' with fabric wanna be. It may be a good thing that it is so far from the house.

Sadly, we are loosing our favorite Local Quilt Shop the Quilted Pearl. It has been expecially wonderful to have this shop that has become such a significant part of quilting in Columbia. Cheryl has made her classroom and full service shop available to all of the guilds in Columbia anytime of the day and any day of the week.

Quilters of South Carolina will be meeting at the White Oak Conference Center next weekend. I am looking forward, not only to the classes, but also to seeing many of my friends from across the state.

Have a great week and don't forget that registration is open for 'Spring Fling' Quilt Camp in February. Check out the information on the Retreat page as there have been some changes. If you want to register just email me and I will send you a simple to print registration form.

LET'S GO SEW !!!!!!!!
