Good evening, started the day with cutting 2 Mardi Gras Dolls, got ready for the QueenBees Meeting and then was off to Tickfaw La. to meet the Queens. Had a great meeting showed off our quilts that we finished, took care of projects for the coming year, ate lunch and had a demo of a paper pieced star. Now it is 1pm, so I called Little Hank from the car and arranged to pick him up and proceed to Bright Hopes Quilt Shop. It is about 25 miles to the shop so we talked about the pit falls of collage life and what he was thinking for the future, MEDICINE is the answer, and he is smart enough. Arrived at the shop and begun to look at the LSU Fabric, he knew what he wanted and he and I put the design on paper. Fabric bought $99 for the top,(Queen Size) need a back and batt. I will have it quilted by one of our longarm gals in the area. Came home and met Fran in the yard, hooray the gangs are here!!!!!!!! I have just cooked supper for Steve as I am going to play bonco at 6:30pm. WHOOHOO
