I had so much I wanted to get done, a class to prepare for..... and bang- first I got sick with a cold. I lost a couple days of work.
Then our grandson got sick with the croup with bad cough, wheezing and the works.
All the while I was busy preparing for teaching the computer system "Side Saddle" that I use with my Nolting longarm set up.
And then.... the snows hit! First here at home....and I missed more work.
Then for our trip to Richfield, OH where I was to teach, the roads were not the best.
Then while we were in Ohio teaching - more snow.
Then the snow and ice were on the roads for our trip home! We did arrived safely and it felt so good to be home.
Teaching was a success and I really enjoyed meeting everyone and helping them learn how to use their Side Saddle systems to make beautiful quilts.
THEN -- MORE SNOW! And I missed more work.
So... now the snow has stopped. I managed to longarm 3 quilts are am now working on the bindings.
The joys of quilting.... see the end in sight.
......just in time to start a new quilt of course!
So now, with the temperatures warming up next week and rain instead of snow, I look forward to Spring.
I already have a few things on my calendar that y'all may be interested in:
1) April 10 -11, 2015 the Appalachian Heritage Quilters Guild of which I am a member, is holding their annual Quilt Show.
Friday's hours are 10 - 7 and Saturday's hours are 8 - 5.
It is being held again at Crossroads Christian Church in Gray, TN.
2) June 19 - 20 there will be a LONGARM RETREAT held here in the Tri Cities area of TN. Put on by Memory Lane Quilting with Nolting longarm machines.
I will be teaching the Side Saddle classes. I will be posting more details as we organize the retreat. For now, just circle your calendars if you hope to attend.
For now.... time to hand sew the binding on a quilt and a hanging sleeve on another quilt...
Til next time.....
Keep those needles stitching,
the creativity flowing,
and the joy of quilting in your heart.
Phyllis
