KITWANGA "QUILT IN" 2008 - Date Chane!

This letter came to me via mail from Anne - Pres. of Kitwanga Quilters. 

Due to Circumstances beyond our control the kitwanga "quilt In' 2008 has had to move our weekend.  ORIGINALLY it was to take place Set. 25th- 28th./08. Our School District will be going back to a 5 day school week in  2008, hence our original weekend is a NO GO. We do realize this will be an inconvenience to some, but there is not a "Heck" of alot we can do about it.

Any Questions/Concerns, please call Anne.  

The NEW DATE: For the Kitwanga "Quilt In" 2008 will be October 2nd. - 5th./ 08.

Thanks....Anne -Pres. Kitwanga Quilters.

So ladies please take note, and if you will not be able to attend on the new date please let Anne know as she has a waiting list for ladies who would like to attend.

Mom's first Quilt!

I am so excited as Mom has arrived for a visit here in Houston, and at last she has seen her completed Quilt!

 Mom sewed the quilt top -- her "First Quilt" last fall and gave it to me to quilt.

 Due to many reasons it was only this week that she was able to see her completed Quilt!  

It is "Fantastic"!  Now she has the "Quilters Bug" I am sure she is on the road to many more Quilts to come!

Awesome Quilt MOM!

Where has the Time Gone?!

Wow! it is hard for me to believe that it has been more than 6 months since my last blog entry! Time has flown by!  

For now I am going to let you ...my blog visitor discover were I have been over the last

 few weeks!

First Clue .... Frequently large chunks of ancient ice might find its way to your back door!

Photo #2

And Tall pillars of cement, brick and stone speckle the landscape!

The local cuisine consists of "Fish"! and these little morsels that they all seem to feel are the "very best part" of this particular aquatic creature!

        

So have you guessed where I have been?

Photo #1 is a iceberg in "Bay Bulls" 

Photo #2 is a photo of the Light house at "Ferryland"  (yes that is right established                                 Photo#3 

in 1642!)

Photo#3 is a photo of a plate of ..........."Cod Tongues"!  (yes I ate them, and yes they ARE GOOD!)

I spent 12 days in Newfoundland exploring the Avalon Peninsula and St. John's! 

 I was there attending The "Canadian Quilters Association" Quilters Conference!  It was Unbelievable!!

The hospitality of the people of NFL could not be surpassed by anyone! Although the weather was cool, the smiles, and friendly gestures were full of Warmth!  The conference was inspirational, and awe inspiring! 

And I met some of the most wonderful,kind and interesting people ....Yes that includes you Maria and Claire!! (<;

So I hope to return some day soon, to visit and meet up with my new friends again.

  Until then, just in case they might not recognize me in my photo ...that is me..on the right!

Thanks for making our visit soooooo great!
