blustery day

How are your Thanksgiving plans coming along? Loren is going to smoke a turkey for us. We will have our dinner in the studio. I think we should have "mini" Thanksgivings all through the year. Even though world news is awful and our country has lots of problems and sadness, there are always many things to be thankful for.

I want to thank those of you who come to class and spend your days here sewing and sharing thoughts and daily life. It is a pleasure to learn more about how you view life and what matters most. We have many things in common and yet we are so uniquely made. I appreciate you spending time here and the richness you add to my life.

I am thankful for my supportive family. My girls are always encouraging me and even though we don't have the same taste, they seem to like how I spend my time. Loren is always helpful to move things or hang up things or take them down AGAIN. He makes me things and has allowed me to follow my bliss!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have so many pictures to share. I may break this posting up into two separate times. There are so many projects to share with you. I am going to first list the classes that are coming up this month. I hope if I group them together it will be helpful.

Most classes are from 10-4 and are $10.00. The Sunday Open Sew days begin at 11.


This Friday November 14 is our Reets Rags to Stitches day.

Pincushion Class is Thursday November 20

Prairie Women and Spargonians Saturday November 22

Sunday Open Sew November 23  11-4

Thursday December 4 is Maggie B day ( Maggie Bonanomi projects)

That takes care of this month, my next blog will have the class schedule for December. If you have a class suggestion, I'd love to hear it. If you have a small group that needs a place to meet, I'd like to see if my studio would work for you.

***************************************************************************
From our last Prairie Womens Sewing Circle. Many are working on this quilt. It can be made with as many feature blocks as you like.






A marvelous "show and tell"

Next we move on to the Spargonian class. Sue Spargo held a class in Sisters Oregon and this is what they embellished.



The always wonderful Firefly Sewing Roll





As you can see, this is a very busy group.

Continuing on with more Spargo projects and Halloween cuties:






On an Open Sew Sunday we worked on a variety of things. Here is Turkey Lurkey. He is a handsome fellow.





Love that Maggie B design.

As you can see, we have the most talented groups of ladies. If you would like to start a particular group of your own, just let me know.

I just got to talk with Jennifer by Skype and was able to see Nora smile at her daddy! She is four months old now and is such a cutie. I'll ask Jennifer to email me a picture that I can put in the next posting!

I'll write the rest of the news and pictures that I've captured in a day or two. Enjoy your week and keep warm. It seems a little taste of winter is on it's way.

It was a good thing that my open studio was scheduled for the day it was because I just barely escaped the snow! It was a fun day and many friends stopped by to see where I love to sew. A friend who I hadn't seen in years, Joy, came and I was so happy to see her again. When I owned The Quilting B, the best thing about being there was all the new friends I made. I probably would never met many of you if it hadn't been for those years! Thanks! Here are a few of the pictures from that day. Ellen came with her project and it is beautiful! My neighbor, Monica is helping me have a great time! Along with the stitching, it is a time to make more friends and to know each other a little better. Our dog, Oscar, loves to be with people. Jean and Julie are keeping on task! And then it snowed!!!! Yard art! But the dogs are happy inside. When Oscar walked outside when it was icy, he would walk along the top and the...

I guess if I'm going to get anything else written before 2013, I'd better get at it. Earlier this month Loren and I went to downtown Portland and watched the Tuba Christmas. It was held at Pioneer Courthouse Square and was beautiful. Listening to that many tubas outside was wonderful. It was a little misty and a bit cold but all crowded together, it wasn't bad. I love the old courthouse. Tried to get the flag billowing out, almost. It is such a beautiful old building. We don't have many buildings like this, we tear them down and make something new. nice tree...great back view of someones head! After watching for a while we went to.... Besides the greatest smelling cigars, they sell their wonderful cigar boxes. I was looking for a perfect one to give my daughter with a scarf that I knitted for her. Of course, I found one and sorry I didn't take a picture of it. It is black and just perfect for her. Score!  A little l...
