What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 Recently I was introduced to the 3 Yard quilt books. My quilting buddies and I got together and we worked on a nice pattern. 

I took this photo as a reference because I need to start sewing blocks.  I have to move 2 sets of 8" blocks to the left on the design wall so I can get the rest of the layout up there.

I returned yesterday from my quilting cruise, and I had a great time. I do one or two each year, and this one may have been the best one yet. We left Saturday from Galveston. 

Goodbye Galveston!

Our first stop was Costa Maya, Mexico, and I didn’t even leave the ship! I did get up early every morning and walk on the top deck and work out in the gym

He's not letting Ron have any say on what he wants. I told him he need to go to Vancouver to be with his oldest son who has the control.

We’re getting towards the end of all the “investigation” and “getting ready” for the hail damage to be repaired here. It hasn’t been bad so far. I’m sure there are plenty of folks who have had issues with State Farm; our journey hasn’t ended yet but they’ve all been so nice, so helpful and no...
