Quilting Club

Cold again this morning with frost. Last night just after going to bed I thought I heard a strange noise--in a few minutes I heard it again--it was elk bugling!! When we first built this house almost 8 years ago we heard elk often in the fall, then the wolves were re-introduced and the elk left. I love to hear them talk to each other. Then we started hearing another strange noise almost like a barking dog right off the deck, never did figure out what that one was then an owl started to hoot. It was a regular menagerie around here last night!

I spent the entire day getting ready for "Quilt Club." A group of quilters has decided to form a loosely knit club meeting once a month in the quilt shop in town. I was asked to talk about my quilting business so I scurried around today (nothing like the last minute) and put some things together. I quilted an example of several designs on muslin and created a flyer. Various names for this club were discussed such as "Quilt Club", "Friendship Quilters", etc. We will vote on a name next month. Most people brought their sewing machines me included and worked on some project--I got the borders finished for a fall wall hanging. It was lots of fun and I won the door prize--two fat quarters of fabric and a charm for my scissors so I don't lose them. I do love this quilting business.

Lily's quilt shop is located in a historic building that used to house a clothing store even when Michael was a child.

Michael and Emmi coped without Mom tonight just fine but she sure was glad to see me when I got home and so was Michael.
