Fuel the jet and pack you bags----

OK - gas the car and gather up your sewing gear - one more week and we are off to our Spring Break in the Hamptons retreat. I am a bit nervous- hoping I can pull it off and that everyone will have a fun time. I am out to gather up more door prizes from local businesses today- they have been so generous. I attended a half day of the Peace by Piece day retreat yesterday - it was alot of fun. There are so many talented women in this valley - they were working on all different kinds of projects. One of the classes offered was the Fit to Frame patterns form the company "from my heart to your hands" - they are small quilts, finished at sizes to fit in ready made frames. They are so very cute - a great way to display smaller things and easy to change the quilts for holidays, seasons or whatever! Check out the website www.frommyhearttoyourhands.com and stop by the Rooster to see her patterns. They are a great little scrap buster! Have a great weekend - we may even see some sunshine! Kaye

Happy Birthday Frank

Yes, Frank is 11 years old today! For his breed that is 77 years - no wonder he is so gray - I will probably be gray when I am 77 too. At this point of my life, the only thing I can control is the color of my hair - how pathetic is that.
I have forgotten to mention the current trunk show hanging in the shop - two friends from Mendon, Jeri Chenney and Kari Rich ,brought in some real fun quilts for our viewing pleasures. Try to stop by to see them.
We have introduced our new block of the month - a Jan Patek Girl Gang applique quilt and it is so cute. I have always been a fan of her primitive quilts. We are doing this quilt using a machine applique - button hole stitch - but you could use your favorite method of applique. I still need to get a picture of the quilt to my "master" so he can get it on the website for me. There just aren't enough hours in the day for me - if I just didn't need my sleep.
Well I have to run my big fat check out to my accountants office now - damned taxes. I don't know what I am doing wrong - I wish someone could figure me out.
Well Happy Birthday to my wiener dog - Frank - and to all the rest of you tax payers - have a lovely day!! Kaye
