All Through The Weekend!

Happy Monday, Quiltvillians!
It was a bit hot and sticky here through the weekend with intermittent rain and thunder showers, but the quilters kept on quilting!
At least half the group took off for a raucous round of quilt shop hopping and came back with so many goodies!
I just love the sight of happy quilters coming up the front steps carrying bags of beautiful fabrics and all of the possibilities that kind of fabric acquisition road tripping generates!
The weekend workshop of the "Three Peas In A Pad" bags  produced some wonderful finishes!

It Must Be July.

A couple of years ago. July.  This same weekend in July.  We had the mishap with the falling tree swing where I broke my foot, and my nose...

I thought we'd had a good run since then!  And then the thing with this falling clock happened....And yes, this is the same group that was here to help me when the tree swing fell THAT July.

But more on that later.

I'm so excited that so many of you have supported Kala in the purchase of your Quiltville Inn Fabric on Spoonflower.

Pieceful Hearts, Start Your Engines!

I'm thinking back to the time when I was in my early 40s.

We had just relocated from Texas to South Carolina - It was 2003.

I was invited to drive an hour (Not a big thing when things are so spread out.) and come to a Sit & Sew day with the Pieceful Hearts Quilt Guild of North Augusta, South Carolina (Yes, right on the other side of the river from Augusta, GA!) and meet some folks.

I was new to the area. I knew no one.  But a sit n sew day to get to meet folks?  I was all in!

Halls, Walls & Waiting!

I put the finishing touches on every space at Quiltville Inn while waiting for the Pieceful Hearts gals to arrive from North Augusta South Carolina and beyond.

Thunderstorms in and around our area hampered and delayed their drive a bit, but luckily no rain was falling here as they began to arrive.

There were a few later stragglers that had to deal with a bit, but all are in safely!

I was so grateful for this as I sat at home working on a binding and listening to the summer thunder roll.

With this retreat - being the first one past July 4th, all of the decor needed to be changed out for SUMMER.
