Annie is always under foot so I gave her a "Project". Retrieving the materials I asked her to fetch sometimes is not ideal, but she seems to enjoy quilting as much as me. BUT...then there the times she hides in her camouflaged trunk.

Ozark Hills Quilt Guild
March 12th - As promised, the new lake Guild met the second Tuesday of the month. It's normal to say the meeting was fun, entertaining, enjoyable, etc.etc... and - it was. Where else can you have so much fun for only $15 annual fees. Speaking of fees, the guild now has 15 paid-in-full members. Carrie Johnson is your new president. Consider this a "heads-up" for more colorful and exciting quilting news - from the Lake.

The wheels are in motion
The meeting was held with what looks to be a great start for a new Guild at the Lake. The new Guild formed with 18 charter members. Our monthly meetings will be the Second Tuesday of each month always at 6:30PM at the "Circle of Friends" quilt shop. Order of business for March, right now, will be getting to know each other and considering Election of Officers and chatting about what the Guilt will be all about. Bring your own name tag - How will you know who you are if you don't have a name tag? Right now, questions should be addressed to Patti Hill 573-348-2550.

A New Quilt Guild

Acronyms

Our world has become so complicated with our cell-phones, Blackberries, computers, and microwaves and automatic transmissions we no longer can really say what we are thinking nor as far as that goes, can we even write it out... your know... longhand using all the words and letters. 24 hours in each day just is not long enought - anymore. In many cases we, or I do anyway, guess at the meanings of "Acronyms". DMV I've mastered as well as CNN, Fox, Idol and Survivor. I have a new one that may be the death of me, or I hope not anyway... It’s STABLE. Stables are where horses live, right? Yes and no. Yes they do spent lots of time crewing hay in their "stable", but stable can and does also mean '...a person of equal equilibrium in society. Their head is on straight and they know right from wrong. That’s all true. For me STABLE means “Stash That Accumulates Beyond Life Expectancy”. More later. The UPS just used a fork-lift to bring me another shipment of ‘fat quarters’. Forgive me as I salivate and re-arrange my ‘haven’ … I LOVE IT..

Paducah Annual Quilt Show - June 13, 2007

This year I was honored to share a week with five wonderful ladies from the Osage Beach Missouri area. We loaded into two SUVs and headed east to Paducah. Accommodations was a huge condo only a short drive from all the action. We each had our own rooms and privacy, if needed. Our weather was great for the whole Monday thru Friday events and we shopped, went sight-seeing, shopped, chatted, ogled, shopped most of all waking hours. Did I mention we did some shopping? Both SUVs luckily had overload rear springs to carry the extra weight of the tons of new materials we found with our names on them and “just couldn’t live without”. The bank account suffered, my credit cards had to be replaced as I melted three – BUT I would do it again in a heart-beat… and already looking forward to next year.
