Redwork at Olive Garden

Redwork met at the Olive Garden for September because Shop hop was going on. it gets soooo crazy during shop hop time and we didn't want to get behind in our pincushions! here are waiters. they did a superb job! Thank you sooooo much! Rita find the most interesting things. she has taken labels and she sewed them to some fabric and framed them. I love it!

Margie has been working on finishing last years project. they look great!

she also has been making little bags for some granddaughters. aren't they cute?

Cyndi won the door prize. 3 dish towels! Halloween ones too! love them.......

we had a great time. had me some soup and salad. YUM! thanks girls for a fun lunch. i can't wait to show you the pin cushions. they are looking GREAT!!!!!

Monica's oh my

While in Palm Springs i wanted to go to Monica's quilt and bead creations. OH MY GOODNESS!!!! if you go, be prepared to spend some time - an afternoon or longer. sooooooooo much to see. the first thing I see, is Frankie. oh yeah, the pattern came home with me and fabric too!

now a word of caution, DO NOT RELY ON YOUR PHONE MAP, OR GOOGLE MAPS, OR GPS!!! they will lie to you. take you way off course and you end up at another golf resort where it is gated and they don't want you there if you are looking for quilt stuff!!! call the store or go to the website and follow their instructions. you will be a happy camper. you will not start to panic and wonder if you will ever find the store let alone the resort where you are staying. just saying......

La Quinta

Recently Bruce had a business meeting in La Quinta, CA. very close to Palm Springs. WOW, we stayed at the La Quinta there. it's were the PGA is played. and the place is HUGE, JOHN WAYNE size, several golf courses, I don't know how many pools (I saw 4 I think walking around), the place was just beutifaul. every where we went we took a golf cart. the place was that big. and also it was very hot! outside our room....

looking the other way........

our door. every room was a indivdual room. more like a casita. very nice.......

Churndashes!

in the last post I told you that we are trading churn dashes in TB. well, with everything going on in this crazy life I thought I would finish them all so I wouldn't have to think about them for the rest of the year. whew! got them done so i will give them out in our October meeting. I wasn't too excited in the beginning. I am not a huge fan of civil war fabric. really..... LOL.... - it does seem I am doing all of civil war right now. how did that happen? LOL.... ayway, I am done with these babies. I think it will be a beautiful quilt! thanks ladies!!!!!
