Missing Retreat

In a past life I belonged to a "B" (a Quilting Bee").  We use to meet on the opposite Wednesday's of our quilt guild meetings.  Most of the member's moved away, and we just sort of fell apart.  Well fast forward to November 2015, and a retreat was planned.  I was invited to join in all the quilty fun, but life got in the way, and I wasn't abel to get myself together to join in on the fun with my B.  And then I went back to work at the LQS, and met with old friends who were planning on retreating this weekend.

A thoughtful gesture, for retreating fun.

I immediately jumped on the "retreat" bandwagon.  But then quickly realized that 1. My house is a wreck, and 2.  Thanksgiving is this coming this Thursday.  So needless to say I will not be retreating, and probably very little sewing will be going on around here.  (sad face)

Thank you for the invite, and thank you for the sweet gift's.

Happy piecing, happy sewing,
Sheila

Satisfaction

Making fabric. Straight lines and angles.

Piecing scrapes, making blocks. 

Mindless sewing. 

Satisfaction.  

Stuffed Elephant for Mommy to be.  

Sunday drive with the top down?  Satisfaction...

 

Indian Summer

The weather in Maryland has been amazing!  This is making it a little very difficult to get down in the dungeon  to sew. Walking the dog, and spending time with my man (who is home after 45 days of working down in Florida).  Me and my Remy Girl, aka our pound puppy are both over the top happy to have him home.

Afternoon walks, the "pack" is together again.

Blue Skys, and Autumn.

Can't get enough of this

Weather forecast for this coming weekend includes a chance of rain.  Sew, theres always tomorrow!  

Happy Sewing, happy piecing,

Sheila

Time sure does fly

Here it is November 1st already.  Today would have been my big brothers 61st birthday.  Heading over to my other big brothers house (I am the baby of the family) to pick up a bed that use to belong to my big brother who passed away back in August.  Since it's his birthday I stopped by his and my mother's grave site.

Happy Birthday to the ultimate sports fan, Kenny Breen 

His name hasn't been added to the headstone, but we the five remaining siblings know where he, and our Mom are laid to rest.  R.I.P. birthday boy, and my sweet mother.  I miss you both so very much.

A beautiful Autumn Day to honor my loved one's
