I took a break from packing to attend the Busy Bee business meeting this morning. Joni demo-ed chevrons, the next row of this year's project. I've had too much going on to add this project to the mix, but am thinking that chevrons would make a nice border for a future quilt of mine...

Only a handful of ladies had something to share with us at Show&Tell today.  Marjory's Halloweenie quilt was all the more impressive when we discovered that she had designed the blocks herself!  The patterns are available on her blog: http://peckspieces.blogspot.com/   

Doris is almost done with family quilts for all of her grandchildren, with this one being (possibly) the last.  Although she also has 7 (so far) great-grandchildren, they are not on her list.... she's says she's done!

Sharon whipped up this Springtime mini-quilt for a swap; 

naturally we'll be interested to see what she receives in return.

This baby quilt of hers used bright and cheery fun fabrics, right up my alley.

Jan showed off her Goose quilt top (love her batik fabrics/colors!) which she had hoped to give to Pennie today for quilting.  Unfortunately Pennie was a no show; maybe she's too busy quilting on Zach & Bekkah's wedding quilt? <g>

The meeting ended early, and even with a stop at the grocery store (got some goodies to bring to MY LAST CHEMO TOMORROW to celebrate) I still arrived home in time for the service call by the COX guy.  He not only switched out our cable box (which should fix all the issues we've been experiencing lately) but he also made it so we can use a single remote (now that I've finally learned which remote to use for what.... LOL)

Willie was outside 'helping' his Dad do some cement work on their corner irrigation gate, but everyone <g> agreed that 'bubbles, bubbles' with me would be more fun.  While in the backyard we fed Pokey (which as any kid will tell you is lots of fun) and supervised Tom who was continuing to trim the monster oleander hedge.  There was a mini crisis when it was discovered that one sawed off branch on the ground turned out to have a hummingbird nest with a baby in it.  I snapped this quickie with my cell phone.  

Tom wedged the branch back into the same bush where it should be fine unless we get some high winds.  We'll just have to hope that Mom/Dad find the nest, although they may wonder how/why it moved.  It was hard to tell if there's only one baby in there, or a second one underneath.  (It's also possible that one baby fell out when the branch fell; we'll continue to look, of course, but if one fell out it could have gotten scooped up along with some of the trimmings.  We're doing our best!)
