Quilt Camp Update -

We are having a great time!

Look at this beautiful paper-pieced table runner Mary brought to show us.  (Too bad the detail doesn't show up.)  She needed suggestions on what to do for a border.

Cheri was taking care of some mending 

before she got down to serious quilting.

Jeannie is going to try to finish up the quilts for her sister and niece 

(the same ones that she was working on at January's quilt camp.)

Gina spent the day cutting fabric on her AccuCut machine.  

Tomorrow she plans to bind this batik beauty.

That's Jess looking on above.  She had stopped by to deliver some tops to Jeannie to be quilted; here's one of them below.  Some little girl is going to fall in love with all the adorable center fairies.

And I worked on the wedding quilt for Jeff & Priscilla. 

I'm happy to report that I made satisfactory progress. 

Cheri had to work tonight, so she's gone, and Gina also had to leave because she had already made other plans for this evening before Jeannie invited her (on Tuesday) to join us.  Mary's 'on' for dinner tonight, and it is currently in the oven over at the guest house.  (Someone had the bright idea to cook/eat over there so those 'stuck' sewing at the kitchen table don't have to clear out all their stuff each meal.)  While that's cooking Jeannie and Mary have gone up to Jeannie's to pick up some stuff - and whip up a lemon pie to bake here later!

In addition to all the quilting fun, today was busy in other aspects also.  One neighbor shopped by to let me know they were going to be out of town and asked me to keep an eye on their place; I'm also going to pick up their mail.  The exterminator called to make the monthly appointment.  But the real surprise was that the first plumber called to make sure the second plumber had shown up yesterday and taken care of the problem.  Did I mention that the first plumber did NOT charge us for his house call?  

He said that he was happy we had called him back again (he installed the new disposal at the guest house last year) and wants to keep us as a customer.  No wonder the company has such a high rating and customer satisfaction quotient.  So let me put in a plug for this family-owned business!
