We were in a pineapple kind of mood yesterday!
I am so impressed with the whole venue here in Amherst, NY.
This seminar has been going on for 40 years strong, and it is so well organized. If you get a chance to come this direction in September – if you are close enough to make a road trip ---believe me, it’s worth it!
Being this far north in New York, my classes have been nearly equally Canadian as they are American ---fun!
We also had quite a contingency of Scottish Canadians with us…..including MASCOTS!
This is for those who attend the Dear Jane retreats in Shipshewana – do you recognize this guy??
Shougal McDougal!
Shougal McDougal the Highland Coo travels around wherever quilters gather and has been known to create mischeif in Shipshewana --- here he is in Amherst!

We love quilts with OPTIONS!

No sewing happened last night. I was in bed by 7:30 ---and asleep by 9:30 after a couple episodes I barely watched of Law & Order SVU – I just couldn’t make myself do ANYTHING! But I’m happy to report after a full night of blissful restful sleep – I’m up and at it and raring to go for today’s Crumbs, Crumbs, Crumbs workshop.
Let’s Sew!
Sometimes you just need to crash and let your body have a good long rest. Have fun today!
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiration you are to all of us. Glad you got some rest. I'm ready to go sew...
ReplyDeleteBonnie - you should write a wonderful "MY-travels-and- places-I-have-Been book! More flying miles than anyone on earth for sure.
ReplyDeleteThe photos of the class are terrific... what a great time they are having.
