Happy St. Patty's Day

Any lucky Irish men or women out there! Have a fun day!
Tomorrow would be the anniversary of my marriage to Rob - it would have been 27 years - yikes! The night before our wedding we went out with friends and family that had come in to town and we all ate corn beef and cabbage and had green beverages - what a crazy fun night.
Isn't it nice to have this wonderful sunshine - I hope it lasts and soon I will be adjusted to day light savings time - am I the only one that struggles with the time change?? Must be an age thing. T T F N - Kaye

Don't forget to change your clocks!

I forgot to turn the clock ahead at the shop and I figured it out at about 6:45 p.m. tonight - Not one customer took advantage of this extra hour! So I was looking at another blog and came across a picture and so I am going to do a test and see if I can post it- I smart like tractor!!!!

I am finalizing the retreat plans - should be worth the delays - I hope.

I will have a green treat for all you lucky Irishmen on Wednesday - and for all non-Irishmen and women too!!!!!! Don't forget the green or you may get pinched - do people still do that or would that be considered sexual harassment? !

Well I am going to try to upload this picture from my youth ( I am the one with the cleavage) - I hope it works. good night - Kaye

Today is Wednesday -

What a great name for today's blog - that is about as creative as I am feeling. One of the many joys of aging is how slow my brain recall is - and today I mean slow. It took me so long to remember how to upload pictures - so I have included some from the Peace by Piece quilt retreat from 2 weeks ago and then some from the baby shower we had for my son Rob and his Katy. They were showered with the most delightful things for our new little girl - she will be the most well dressed, clean, diapered, fed hip & educated child ever born!!! Of course all of us Nannys' feel that way! Rob showed up just in time to unwrap the gifts. We had yummy food, a couple really FUN shower games (we all love shower games) and many laughs. I made Katy and the baby matching quilts from the Eva line of fabric that Moda had out last year - she loved the plum , green and pink. I have loaned them the wicker bassinet I had bought when I had Rob - made a liner and sheets to match the quilt - it really was sweet.
I hope you enjoy the pictures - I wish I were a better photographer - but I can't do everything!!!! But I can do some work today - have secured a couple of teachers for the retreat----- "Two Peas in a Pod" will be coming up from Bountiful to teach a fun mystery class in the afternoon. I have local wonders teaching in the morning and I am still trying to find a few more classes before everything is posted. I am slow but sure - as usual. Well I best get something else done - to all my peeps ( i don't mean those nasty marshmallow guys) out there - have a great week - and enjoy the bit of sunshine we have today. as I remain in pieces - Kaye

"Bee my Baby" -

Rob and Katy - he showed up just in time for the gifts!

Mariann and Krista in a few years ! Just kidding - my Aunt Marj (92) and my friend Alice (81

These 2 are really amazing.

The most beautious best friends a girl could ever have - Mariann and Krista - I am so lucky.

my friend Carrie - she is a quilting mad woman and Annette Rose too.

Barbara Campbell and her wonderful basket quilt.

Teresa is the one who wanted me locked in the closet!

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.

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
