I have been sewing for 4 and 1/2 day with my friend Karen in Ohio. On Sat. we got to meet with 2 other friends ( quilters of course) for lunch and an after noon of quilt talk and sharing. How great to meet up with gals you love but don't get to see often enough. Needless to say, it is so stimulating to see and hear all they are making as well as catching up on their family news. So good to see you Vickie and Carol. Thanks so much for your hospitality, Vickie.
Vickie and Carol chose for me, some gorgeous Kaffe Fasset fabrics from a super shop in Wooster, Ohio. The sale was still going on at the shop and it was a REAL sale. Everything in the shop was 1/2 off! Karen and I decided to go over to Wooster and partake some more of the bargains! Woo HOO! Since then, Karen and I have made 2 quilt tops. The pictures are here for you to see. We first made little wall hangings which are so cute. We each put our favorite color of maverick petals on the large bloom. The pattern didn't show that, but we each did our own color just for something different. On Sat. while Karen was teaching some classes, I made a darling bucket bag in multi spring colors. Can't till I go back to SC
where I live, and it is already spring.

Hi Marilyn,
Great to read your blog (found it through Karen's) and loving your quilttops! In Houston you already said something about becoming an appraiser. I hope all study goes well and that your love for quilts and quilting will help you further.
Hope to see you in Houston this year, I'll be there with more Dutch girls! Agnes and Ted will be there, and four new Houston groupies.
If you got the possibility, I would like to meet you there!
Take care,
Annemart

Welcome to blogland. Not always easy to post each day but a great way to "meet" people and keep a diary of your own accomplishments and thoughts.
I've been working hard to complete UFO's and I REALLY want some new fabrics. What a luxury to sew for 4days straight!
Hey Marilyn, I found you! Will add you to my list of bloggers to read...looks good so far!!
