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

Hi Anne!
I know you had a good time in Texas! We know how to party and quilt at the same time!
I was afraid I missed a workshop with you until I read further into the post.
I ADORE your First Lesson for sewing with kids! I am going to make a folder for each lesson. This is so needed. And I am glad you are starting your little sewer on a regular size sewing machine…and a Bernina too. That will really alleviate frustration. I noticed the machine does not have a needle threader…good practice. It is sort of like learning to drive with a stick shiff…you never forget the process.
Thanks again, Anne!
Happy 4th.
