And now they are back ...

go figure.

Now I am really confused.

Is it Monday?!?!?!?

So I stopped in to check on the 'ol blog and now all of the comments made be people are not showing up.  I can see them when I get into the interior of my blog, but they are just invisible to everyone else.  Don't have a clue what happened or how to change it.

Oh well ...

Nothing new to post today ...

everything is pretty much the same right now.  Nothing new ... but that means nothing bad either.

The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living ...

The past couple of weeks have been hard. My mother passed away suddenly on March 25. Today, I learned that my dear sweet friend Sylvia passed away yesterday.

They will never be forgotten as long as we continue to share our memories ...

AHHHHH ... Quilt Travel ...

Been there, done that ...
Got the Tote Bag.
I made a quick dash (LOL - it's all relative, if you ask me) down to the Long Beach Int'l Quilt Festival. While there I saw a few friends ...

And even caught Christine at Make It University. Christine is such a talented quilter ...

I wonder how she will work this technique into a future quilt.

I also met up with Mel and got a copy of the new book she did with Mary Lou Weidman. What a fun book. I can't wait to sit down with a good cup of coffee and do some reading this weekend.

I picked up some little needles and a little needle case along with some other goodies. I will have to get a picture of that later.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend.

More Applique at Lake Tahoe ...

We did have some rain come in late one day and had light showers part of the next day, but you know it didn't matter.

I took this next photo late in the day on Thursday.

This was my daily view ... awesome!
And then of course there was sunset. It was such a wonderful week.

I definately want to go back again.

More on Applique in Tahoe ...

We were in this awesome room that was all windows on the lake side. Plenty of natural light during the day!
Check out the quilts on the back wall! Absolutely gorgeous.
There were tutorials each day that covered additional skills for Baltimore Album quilts. You know, things like ribbon embroidery, ribbon roses, inking, couching, regular embroidery, bead work and Ruching.

And what a talented group of ladies! It was so much fun.
