Texas…
I’m leaving tomorrow for Texas and I’ll be spending time in Austin with friends! I’m going to a girls retreat; you know one of those sew, talk, sew, eat, and did I say sew? I can hardly wait! How long has it been since you’ve treated yourself to a little getaway time? Maybe you should! Get some friends together, find a place to visit and sew for the weekend.
So what am I working on? I’m going to embroidery a beautiful “S” for the center of my “Confetti“ quilt! My friend Nancy started making this quilt for me several years ago and she can’t finish the quilt until I’ve embroidered the center square. She’s sewed together all these little nine patches as a present to me and they are sitting waiting for the “S” to arrive. You’d think this was the Eiffel Tower I had to embroider, its taken me that long.
The end result will look very much like this, but I’ll have an “S” in the center!
All pink and white and yummy!
I can hardly wait to hang the quilt in my dining room ! How long can my fancy “S” take? Hey, I have all weekend.
I’ll be back early next week. Have a great weekend and I hope you get some fun sewing done too!
Hugs,
Anne

Wow Anne, I hope you have a wonderful time…well, there is no hoping I guess because when you get together with friends to sew, talk, sew, eat and you forgot to mention all the laughter that inevitably goes on at those gatherings, well, like I say, there is no need to hope, because you will most definitely have a great time. I would love to go to a retreat. My sis in law goes every year with friends from her guild in Oregon and they have a blast. Enjoy your time and for heavens sake get that “S” stitched so you can get that GORGEOUS quilt where it needs to be…I think I here it calling your name all the way over here so ‘get er done’. Hugs…
**note: Just wanted to make sure you notice the email change in my info. Not our doing, the company we have our service through was absorbed by a huge company and now we are trying to get used to the change in everything. I didn’t realize how many places I had to get my email address changed on…a nightmare I’m tellin ya!!!

I had a little getaway with girlfriends just a week and a half ago and it is to refreshing for the soul. Got some quilting in, lots of eating, chatting and laughing. Yes….good for the soul. I hope you have a great time in Texas. Your quilt is going to be adorable, too.

Oh I hope you have the best weekend, I have a retreat booked in August and I simply cant wait!! Everything you do is all pink and ‘yummy’, I just love clicking on your blog, my ‘pinkness’ is always well satisfied, I’m sure your ‘S’ will be quite gorgeous as usual……silly question but why ‘S’ ????
