Last weekend was retreat fun. It was at a cabin on a ranch just 30 miles from home. I actually came home each night to sleep in my own bed.
I made all of my blocks for Cross My Heart. Love it! If the next grand is a girl, it will be for her. Speaking of babies, my son and his wife are expecting their first. I am thrilled for them. My son has always wanted to be a dad. As a small child he would make his own toys and then declare that he was saving them for his kids someday. If you asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up, he would respond, "a dad". I attribute this to the fact that my children have a wonderful father.
Back to the retreat...
As always with quilters, I made new friendships with the neatest ladies! Some I felt a sincere bond with.
Lydia and Elaine
Laughed a ton sitting next to Mary
Charlotte (old friend), me with new friends Laureen, Conna, and Lynda
Julie. I have to make a mini in this pattern. Love it!
The cook read to us from this book each day gotta have this book and read it all!
