I am packing my heart out...and I know I will forget stuff...and take too much....and wish I had brought something else. Oh well, I am sure I will have friends there that can lend me what I forgot, right?
I am so excited to be going and yet nervous to leave...I want to be sure I cover every base and make everything OK before I go...but that can't happen. So, jittery I will have to be.
This year is so different from previous years. I haven't felt this good for many years and it will be different to be in this place I enjoy so much and be able to enjoy myself! Hard to express how I am feeling. Anyway...thanks to my friends for their part in my improved health...the Diva is on the right path now!
Is it Tuesday yet? I believe we are leaving at 6:30AM which means I may be fired right off the bat. JoAnn is NOT a morning person! Oh well, by the time we get to Chicago, she will appreciate me again....since I am the driver.
Here is a preview of one quilt I will be working on:
I love basket quilts...this one will have a double handle on each basket. The fabrics come from the Nottingham collection which is one of my favorites.
I am looking forward to finishing my niece's graduation quilt at the retreat...she reminds me on a regular basis that she graduated in 2005...AND 2010....sigh....
And I plan to work on, hopefully finish, the mystery quilt I started the end of February. That one will be extraordinary...pinks and browns...Jo Morton fabric.
Then, just in case I get bored, or need to converse...I have several of my blocks from the Heart in Hand applique that I hope to finish.
What do you think? Do I need to bring more? Aren't we there for 4 and 1/2 days? I need to clear my schedule so I can get to David's quilt...that will be wonderful!
Do you like Basket Quilts because you're a Basket Case? hmmm, I might be on to something...
ReplyDeleteWhere's my quilt? :P
We're going to miss you at home, who's going to read the recipe book to me? :,(
So, figured me out already, did you? It took 14 years and a college education to do that!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is packed and stacked...ready to head off into the wilds of Indiana...
Perhaps the Saw-Man can read to you in his russian accent....
