Party on Sat. afternoon,  Michael and Carrie power washed my dog/flower yard, Hank delivered a beautiful basket of flowers, and Steve and I watched a mo vie at home. Today Mike and Carrie took us to breakfast at Cracker Barrel and Fran delivered gifts and a card and a plant. Carrie brought plants yesterday.  Busy and Nice!

Good evening sweet sisters! It has been a long time i promise to do better. I am working on a mystery for the retreat in Pomeroy Washington in September. It is so fun. I will posting the fabrics and the cutting here on my blog so keep watching if any of you are still there. Email me and let me know. My friend will be flying with me and Andrea has donated a entire tote of door prizes for the retreat. Probably $500 worth so if you can come please do. The retreat is September the 7th  through the 12th. it is very reasonable we split the cost which amounts to almost nothing less than $100 dollar. RatherBees is an old church, quilt shop on on the top floor retreat on the bottom. Thats all for now.     Hugs Patticake

Hello From Texas

Good morning all ! We are in Weatherford Texas for a week visiting friends in the area. Yes I am quilting, finishing a new quilt that needs its binding done. Half way around,  it by hand. I usually do this on the machine. My on the road machine just bounced around one time to many. I will be adding another machine when I get home.


My sweet little Hank will graduate LSU 15th in premed. Scored high enough to apply to med school. He is now 21 years old, can't believe. Nicolas is 11 and Naomi is 10.  They are the nicest kiddo's, well behaved and great manners. I get them a week at a time when they come  because of Michael's job.


I am getting ready to schedule Retreat in March next year. Let me know if you are interested. Would you like to go to Louisiana? I can get us a really sweet deal at a new state park. Cost would be about 1/4 of the hotel cost. Let me know.


Hugs ,
