Happy Friday

My blog is so very boring - not at all like all the ones I like to visit. I found a picture that i thought i would try to save - maybe share it with my friends. But it wouldn't load - something about being corrupt - I didn't think it was that bad at all- just nice. I will try again later>
I spent Thursday at a guild retreat - taught a mystery class in the afternoon - "Burgoyne Surrounded". It was a great group - although one lady wanted to lock me in the closest - but other than that I think everyone was pleased with the class!
I have started plans for a pillowcase making day - Friday, March 26, 3 - 9 pm, here at the shop. I am pretty sure that everyone has heard about the
"1 Million Pillowcase Challenge"
brought to us all by American Patchwork and Quilting. We want to do our part by participating in this great cause. If you want to learn more about it - go to www.allpeoplequilt.com/millionpillowcases and you can see more detail. At the shop, we will have a great time making pillowcase while visiting with friends and sharing eats! You can get more details at the shop as well. Friends - Shirley, Gail and Ellen Rae- will be here to show us a real slick method for pillocases.
I have found a location for "Spring Break" - now I am contacting teachers - working on the details - but for sure - save Saturday, April 17th for a great day of quilting! xoxoxoxox

Hooray for Presidents Day

Lets celebrate Presidents Day with a Sale - our new line "Liberty" and a select group of other Americana fabrics are 25% OFF today - Monday February 15th. I loved the Liberty line because of the large scale toil print. Thank you George and Abe !
Unfortunately - we have had to make a couple of corrections on the new class schedule - it seems that every time - after proofing and proofing - we still have a goober or two. On Sat. Feb 27th, the Winding Ways class is from 1 - 4. The Mountain Valley class is February 24th - not the 17th. I think that is about it - but there is no guarantee!
Hope your Vaenetines Day brought you a little chocolate - maybe a flower and a lot of romance. Personally - I had breakfast with my daughter and my Granddaughter Winter - it was fun. Then I went home and sewed - I am making a bassinet liner, quilt and sheets for my new grand daughter- I hope she will like it. Grandchildren really are wonderful!
Hope all is well in your world - Kaye

I'm back!!!!

Long time no blog! I finally got the computer back last Friday - I have posted pictures from Winterfest. Zephie and I had a great time. My classes were alot of fun and it always fun to see familiar faces and meet some new ones!

This picture is the one and only Dana Brooks from Lazy Daisy Cottage in St. George. Our booths were next to each other.

Other booths in the vendor mall !


Kaye and Zephie in our cute booth.

Zephie at the Red Rooster Q & T booth

Some of the crazy Vernal ladies in the "Friday Night Free Sew " group. too much fun!

Denise and Karren - 2 of Vernals finest - diligently working on the Burgonye Surrounded.

Denise, Carma, Robbin and Karren - with their wonderful blocks! I had such a fun time with these ladies.

This is Brenda - the owner of Blackbird Haven in Idaho Falls. She does amazing embroidery and applique - fun booth too.

Holly -Pine Needles manager - and her delightful son - packed in a Moda box . This handsome guy - Will - was such a delightful baby - always happy and smiling and loved by all who meet him.

Now I am working on my own retreat. I am still scouting out locations - about to make a decision - working on classes - and soon I will be ready to post the details. Keep Saturday, April 17th open - that is looking like the day.

I have put my Valentine fabrics on 25% off for this week - and I guess I had better come up with something for next Monday - Presidents Day. hummmmm -what will it be???

In case I haven't told you - I have removed myself from the Wasatch Front Shop Hop. It was a hard decision but the right one. I will concentrate on other things.

That's all folks - talk at you later, Kaye

and we are off...

Zephie and I are about ready to load the truck and head to Winterfest. I am taking my computer in to have its' yearly exam - if you know what I mean - I hope I don't loose all kinds of information . so ts-ts for now - back next week. Kaye

Jan 25 -

It is burrrry cold today - I about ready for Spring. Even my Aunt Marj told be today that she has "had enough!' But I am so looking forward to Winterfest. Zephie, Mary and I have been working hard to finish some new projects, make kits, fold fat quarters, and gather inventory so we can head out on Wednesday. It is about a 2.5 hr. drive to Daniels Summit from here - and I heard we are getting snow. If it would just hold off until we get to the retreat and then we could get snowed in - how awesome would that be! It truly is a beautiful location - surrounded by all the beautiful snow covered mountains. I tend to get little anxious while preparing for these kinds of events - my little booth next to Pine Needles and Corn Wagons' great booths - but at least I have some fun places to shop. The truth is - I am so grateful to still have my little shop still open that I not going to feel inadequate. It is so fun to see so many familiar faces at these retreats - some that you only see once or year. Mary will be holding down the shop while we are away so stop by and give her a bad time. I will come home with some pictures from retreat - so watch for them next week. Have a great week - Kaye

Peace of Mind

My brothers' cremains arrived yesterday - it made me cry. Now I must decide where and when to bury him - I think I will wait until Spring. But now I know he is safe and that gives me some peace of mind. Just thought I would let everyone know - must work, Kaye

Monday

Greetings to you on MLK Day. Maybe you have the holiday off - but not me! Work - work - work. I am excited to say that I finished a quilt last night - a 2 color quilt from Kim Diehls newest book. I will have it to take it to the Winterfest retreat next week. Kim is the guest teacher this year. I will be teaching 2 fun classes - Burgoyne Surrounded and a Disappearing 9-patch. It is always a fun retreat - lots of familiar faces, fun vendors and good food. I am taking Zephie with me this year - she is taking a class from Kim and then taking care of the booth while I teach. I am really looking forward to our little working vacation.
We love it when the UPS truck stops at our back door. Today he brought 3 boxes of cloth - "Sent With Love" from Moda and "Liberty" from Windham. It has a big red toile that I love.
I must get down stairs to see and touch them. That always inspires me.
We are suppose to get snow this week - I hope it comes and cleans up our nasty air. Have a great week, Kaye
