Happy Friday

Greetings to all - My friend Lorna and I went to Layton Utah yesterday to see the Utah Quilt Guild Quilt Show and walk the vendor mall. The quilt show was wonderful and awe inspiring. There was a special display of "Dear Jane" quilts and they were wonderful. I am always amazed at the way color interpretation is used. It makes you want to put aside everything you are working on and start up some new projects. It is aways fun to see what the different vendors are offering - a great new set of rulers for cutting prairie points was shown. I am ordering them for the shop so you will have to stop by for a demo and ideas on how to use them when they arrive. The leaves are starting to change to warm fall colors in Sardine canyon, always a beautiful drive.
"Colonial Christmas" fabrics arrived yesterday - very old fashioned and fun in traditional red and greens.
On the home front - I hadn't posted anything about my sons dog - "Vinnie". Many people had met him here at the shop the few times that I had to bring him along. He was in a accident 2 weeks ago - fell out of the back of a moving truck (should have been restrained) and shattered a hind leg. I am happy to report that Robs' decision to have the leg amputated was the best decision he has made in a long time and probably the hardest. Vinnie is amazing - up on his 3 legs the next day - and able to get around so very well. We all love Vinnie and wish him a fast recovery and a happy life. We love him so much - even Frank likes him!
