The wedding is almost here!

As most of you know, my daughter Jennifer, is getting married next Friday. She is on her way to Portland from Lincoln City now to pick up Hugo tomorrow. She is finished with school and can look forward to finishing all the wedding details. I am very proud of her and all she has accomplished. She stayed in Lincoln City this school year and finished out her contract when she would have liked to go be with her sweetie. It hasn't been an easy time teaching in that small town for a big city girl. Here she is with Hugo.

He is a very nice man and I give her to him for safe keeping.

Since I last wrote I have been to quilt market and I must say, that was a blast. Saw so many people that I knew from the old Quilting B days and it was nice visiting with them again. Most special person that I got to see was Sue Spargo. Dinner was delish...

I ordered some things and picked up some Valdani variegated Perle cotton. It is just wonderful to sew with.

One place we visited was Salt and Straw, the ice cream place??? If you haven't found this, you need to.

I couldn't take a picture of their sign because there was a bright light above it and the picture was awful, so I took this picture of ....well, you can tell.

Here is the web address   http://saltandstraw.com/   Really great ice cream with some very odd flavors.

We did celebrate Sue's birthday in our last Spargonian class. She wasn't here but we had cupcakes anyway. Next are some of the projects that we are working on.

We all had a great time. There is so much creativity in that room that it is amazingly inspiring!!

Last weekend we celebrated my husband, Loren's birthday at Sherwood Days. There were lots of vintage cars and booths and we make it an annual event. Here are some of the cars.

OK, so enough of the cars. Ginny and I did a little shopping and ended up in the Cupcake shop.

Really, really good. The chocolate/peanut butter had a baby Reeses Peanut Butter cup on top! If you get to Sherwood, stop and have a treat.

After the wedding I will plan a few more classes. First things first. I am still wanting to do a Pincushion of the Month group. Any interest???? Sharon has LOTS of patterns and I think that one can never have too many so share your ideas with me PLEASE.
