What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 We ae up with the alpacas this morning and it's a beautiful, hot day.  Once our space is cleaned up and everyone is dressed - we can wander around for bit until Liz makes an appearance.  Just enjoy morning on the farm with us.  I neglected to tell you where we were last night -- here ya go:  Salt River Alpacas.These are Suri Alpacas.  The Suri is a breed of alpaca

 Hello again!  We are packed up, fed, and ready to go.  Everything has been turned into the shop for shipping and the car is pointed east.  We're playing tourist and shopping all the way to St. Louis.Chillicothe is our first stop (we were here a couple of years ago and here is a LINK to that post) and we get a chance to check out some new-to-me murals.  There is

 It's a beautiful day in Hamilton, Missouri.  We have had breakfast and are heading off to start the Scavenger Hunt.  I've forgotten my lanyard and make a quick return to the center before catching up.  Along the walk --- these are soooo pretty.Now, back to the girls.As we make our rounds through the stores - this window of the yarn shop looks amazing.At each store, I do a

 Good morning Kansas City!  First task is to find breakfast - and coffee.  We are downtown - parking garage below what we think is the right place.Well, when we came out of the parking garage, things didn't go smoothly and we are in off and on rain to boot.  I took off and went around the block to find someone to get directions from.  Once that was completed, I went

 When we book these trips a year in advance, it feels as though it will never arrive and it always takes me back to being a child and waiting for Christmas.  The good news is that the wait is over and we are starting to gather.  Gwen and Jen have come into Dallas to spend the night with me (Cindy will also be here later) and Mister is sharing dinner with us at Ephesus.  The

Hello from Nevada, MO.  We are at a Holiday Inn Express and last night I shared with others that my sweetheart always comments on their cinnamon rolls.  No one else had even heard about this.  How can that be?  At any rate, it's morning, I have my roll, and I've sent a pic to Mister.  At least he will understand what I am talking about.It takes a bit to get moving today, but 9:15 we are back in

Well, now.  It's kind of a sad morning as we are packing up and have to load the vehicle.  Yes, I'm whining a bit, but I AM sad that the retreat has ended.  I pack up my stuff in the room and head into the center.  Jen's quilt is up on the wall -- borders on.  I have no idea what time she went to bed but has to be oh so tired.We all get our areas packed up and there is just SOOO much.

Good morning to all!!!  We are up, showered, fed, and ready to learn.  As I approach my table, there is a gift bag for each person awaiting us.  Inside are lovely little treasures.  How fun is this?  Up front, the teaching area is being set up and I've taken a seat on the front sofa so that my visual needs will be met.  I KNOW people think it's something else, but the fact is that I learn better

Y'all know that I can't just go on a trip and drive past fun stuff.  I've got to get out and explore just a wee bit.  Didn't you know that?  Did I take it for granted that you did?   At any rate, today, we are leaving from Mountain View, AR and two hours away, just south of Branson, is Top of the Rocks Lost Canyon Cave Trail in Missouri.  Now, in the interest of transparency, I did call my
