Chilly November
A couple of Friday's ago, my friends Karen and Gloria and I went to the Quilt Show in Aurora. This is my favorite time of the year and my favorite Quilt Show.
I love all the old quilts and most of them are hand quilted. It was a beautiful show and here are some of the things we saw.
Our destination.
I thought this little quilt was so charming that I came home and made one.
This old wool quilt makes me want to go to thrift shops and look for old suits to cut up.
The fireplace in the old house in back was blazing and there were cookies and cider. Also lots of misc. things to buy . I love the herb garden and in the wash house there were many lavender items that the herb society had made. I brought home some herbal salve for my dry feet and a small herb pillow to put inside of my bed pillow. Ahhh, sweet smelling dreams!

Our last Spargonian class was really special. We had lots of ladies working on beautiful projects. My pictures don't do them justice, but you get the idea.

I am going to schedule a beginning quilting class soon. I would love your input on what days and times would work for you. I would like to try a Sunday afternoon from noon to 4. Would that work for anyone? We would begin with the tools of the trade and work thought measuring and then sew a small quilt. We will talk about batting, put our quilt together and bind them. I am happy to do an evening if that would work better.

These chilly days are great for staying in and stitching. I enjoy it so much. I am finishing up a few things for Christmas. Hugo and Jennifer are planning to come in December so that is great to think about.

Wisdom Words...As the busy days of November and December roll over us, take time to notice the joys of the season. There are wonderful smells that are special to this time of years as well lights and food and friends and family. Slow down and B R E A T H E. It doesn't have to all get done. Be grateful for what you can do and don't fuss over the leftovers!
