Afternoon Sewing

Molly made cupcakes for her Mom's 50th Birthday Party.  It was fun, and she was really surprised!

We had a big crowd up at the lake Saturday.  It was good to catch up with some folks we hadn't seen in awhile.

Baby Dresden II

Time to get back to all those Dresden blocks I had started a few months back.  I used  scraps of  old rick rack to edge the blocks and the centers.  I used a blue border so that it could be for a boy.  It is 50 x 50".

I have the third version started  - hopefully I will finish another top this week.

Wilmington Road Trip



Connie, Cathy, Sally & Pat



Saturday we got up early and went down to Wilmington to the Quilters by the Sea 29th Annual Quilt Show.  They had a great very nice show.  We're standing in front of the Best of Show Winners.

They had a nice variety of vendors  - good shopping - and I bought myself a couple of birthday gifts to me.  

We had lunch at McAllisters across from the UNC-W Campus and visited a couple of Quilt Shops on our way out of town.

Beautiful Applique & Hand Quilting - 4 Awards\



I got home just in time (well to be truthful - an hour late, as I misread the time on my daughter's text) to go out to dinner with Kathy & Jesse, Daniel & Emily and Marcia (John too) at The Flying Biscuit in Raleigh and Goodberrys after.

We met our new Pastor this morning, Rev. Trip Lowery. He and his family will be a very welcome addition to our church family. 

This afternoon, for my birthday, Shelly, Hannah and I went to cirque de soeil, Allegria, at the RBC Center.  It was wonderful - the costumes for this show were not as elaborate but the acts were amazing. 

Tomorrow - I hope to put the binding on the Arrow Star quilt.
