Bye Bye, Big Blue Pile!

Reorganizing the studio - what a chore!

What an eye opening round of in-my-face rediscovery!

I have always joked that my method of organizing is just to move piles from one flat surface to another to clear a space.

But eventually things get to a point where something really has to be done.

Let's face it.  Creativity is messy and we do our best to clean it up.  But when the mess is actually halting our creative time, it's time to dig deeper and make things better.

Let's Share Some Quilts!

This happened Sunday afternoon!

We were getting set up to share the Stitch Mob's quilt tops and finished projects over the porch rail, and someone decided that she had to step up and step in and supervise the whole thing.

I love that Tula Talullah Lou throws herself into everything we are doing. So funny!

After drizzly rain all morning on Sunday, we finally ended up with enough blue sky and sunshine to get this done.

Quilters Pumping Iron!

Happy Monday, folks!

I hope your weekend was as productive and memory-making as ours was.

There was a veritable hive of creativity happening in the Quilting Quarters - everywhere you turned there was something in progress.

I was also lucky enough to have son Jeff and grandson Casden coe by yesterday - Jeff applied a couple of coats of poly to the new wooden cat house in preparation for winter coming.  It's airing out in the garage while the cats don't need it quite yet.

Casden loves meeting with the ladies and is always up for offers of snacks and meals! (I don't blame him!)

Weekend Walk Warriors!

I arrive at the inn daily somewhere between 9:30am and 10:00am.  

It's all depending on how long it takes me to get my morning routine done - shower, coffee, answer emails, morning posts to social media, edit blog photos (Sometimes there are many and they need cropping and tweaking!) and it takes a couple of hours to get it all done -

So even if I am showing up at retreat when the morning is technically half over - I've been at my desk doing the grunt work.

This was my welcoming committee yesterday morning as I walked up the front steps.
