What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 What a crafty year it has been for me.  I now belong to two craft groups.  One is the Copper Ridge group and the other is for some of us single church ladies.  CR group was meeting at least once a month, but we have decided to scale back to one every other month for 2026.  The church group kind of meets when someone has a craft to do and wants to host.  No schedule per se.  I've also done a lot of crafts with the kids (Caleb and Trinity and Jyoti) and one day Trinity had a little ...

 And as far as quilting, I have about 5 tops done and working on another but I am going through physical therapy on my shoulder so I haven't been able to get on the ground to pin them to finish them.  Soon I hope.  

But first....I've had visitors and I took a little trip myself.  

I went to the Dallas/Fort Worth area to visit my friend Beth and there was the 2022 Dallas Quilt Show that we went to.
