What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

The weekend was cold and windy, good stitching weather. Or it would have been except for the respiratory or sinus infection that was trying to take hold this weekend. I didn't do much on Saturday, but finally felt well enough to head to the sewing room late Sunday afternoon. Bonnie Hunter posted the second clue for Chilhowie, but I'm still stitching on clue 1.  Not much to show for that project yet, just lots of strip sets.

My Guy will carve his pumpkin this after noon.  We are prepared to hand out candy tonight, we'll enjoy seeing the neighborhood kids all dressed up. 

I did spend some quality time in the sewing room on Sunday.  I finished the last ...

It was a busy weekend. My Mom celebrates her 80th birthday this week, so we had a party for her on Sunday.  It was especially nice since Grad Girl was able to come home for it. So mom had all her kids and grandkids there. Thankfully she was feeling better after a rough week and we all had a great time.

The first week of March is just about over, so it's definitely time to decide on a One Monthly Goal.
