I spent most of it at church. We had a Ladies Tea -- Greater Joy! Each table represented one of the fruits of the spirit and was decorated so beautifully. I co-hosted the table "Love" and we decorated in red. Here is a pic of just a few of the tables.

If you have followed my blog -- hopefully, there are a few of you left -- you know that I lost my husband unexpectantly four years ago.

Last Saturday, two of my quilting sisters and I attended the Heart of Texas Quilt Shop Hop at the Waco Convention Center. It was great idea for a shop hop. There were 20+ shops located in one location! The photo above are some of the goodies I purchased. The top left is "King of the Range" by Moda. I'm going to make a jelly roll race quilt with this collection. &Kathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00786346945686811675noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773855776543595684.post-41390184392467303162013-01-28T01:00:00.000-06:002013-01-28T01:00:01.907-06:00MONday, FUNdayKathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00786346945686811675noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773855776543595684.post-22226261565659989962013-01-27T14:21:00.001-06:002013-01-27T14:21:00.883-06:00Sunday BlessingsKathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00786346945686811675noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773855776543595684.post-38979322331793327502013-01-25T17:57:00.000-06:002013-01-25T17:57:37.247-06:00Friday Night Sew In Woes!Well, it's Friday Night Sew In and I was already to get the Flag quilt squared up and binding sewn on and tacked down.

I attended a quilting retreat last weekend. It was the 14th year that we have all got together in January for a weekend of sewing and fun. The photo to the left is a quilt in progress made by Ali. Ali is prolific at applique! Below, I've shown a few close-ups of her work.
The ladies are absolutely beautiful. Such care and detail given in the stitching.

I have completed the USA Flag quilt top. I am pleased with the outcome and can't wait to get it quilted. This is a gift for my son who is a veteran and also works for the U.S. government....Stay tuned for the finished product.

I am in the process of making a USA Flag quilt. It is going to be scrappy reds and creams. The top photo is only showing the lower half of the flag -- there are six more stripes to be attached to the blue. The blue portion is a mottled blue.
