Pat Sloan Class
Posted on: September 19, 2010
I was able to take a class with Pat Sloan yesterday. It was an applique class. I never got to the part where I could put my peices onto my background, but when I do it will be easy.
I had fun, met some very friendly quilters(of course) an learned something new. All and all a great time.
Plus my grand-daughter came to spend the night. Of course we had a tea party with Ballerina Barbie and her little kitty she brings with her. All the make believe food made of hard plastic is always delicious 
.
She has to take her vitimins (I don’t have kids vitimans), so I give her 2 jelly beans, it works.
Her Mom & Dad went to a flea market , so sh will be going home this afternoon.
I didn’t get any sewing done ( are you surprised)?

Marian, Charlot, Me Hand made quilt
I was able to drive up to NJ to visisew with a grade school friend. I is always a blast to be with her and her family. The 5 days I stayed at her house I brought along a sewing friend. Needless to say there were sewing machines on the dining room table cutting mats on the kitchen and the ironing board also in the kitchen. There was room on the livingroom floor to lay a project out( after we rearranged the furniture) We met her quilting friends who all do there quilting old-school. Piecing by hand and quilting by hand on a frame. I wish them all good luck. It was a great chance to show her how to piece nd quilt on a sewing machine!!! She was so excited was great. She got up extra early to start to sew, on her machine.
We were able to visit 2 quilt shops and get new material, always fun for a stack and wack pattern using only 4 squares that are rotated clock wise and make a very unusual flower in the center.
I had a nice ride home Jackie II drove all the way back to MD. Of course we had to stop at a quilt shop. Didn’t get anything except candy, that’s also is always good.
Got home to the same old mess. But on Monday I was able to get my grand-daughter for a few days, that is well hard on the old body, but also much fun. This time we were ballerinas. When I was her age I took ballet lessons and for many years after that, so a lot of the lessons came back to mind.
Today has truely been a “do nothing day”, stayed home did some sewing, messed around with this computer, got frustrated, ate chocolate(feel better now). Any time now I will find out if my camera makes it home. I also lost my glasses maybe they will come home too.
