After thanksgiving

For the second year in. Row I did not go crazy on Black Friday.  Hopped over to Joann's to pick up a light, storage boxes, fabric and some floss.  I think I limited myself because I have a touch of the flu....sucks!  I am doing a little bit of quilting in hopes I can spur myself into a more upbeat mood.
 

I'm part of the National Consumer Panel!!

Yep, that's right America...I have FINALLY become one of the people who is actually part of a consumer panel!  Just got my box and scanner via FedEx and anxiously waiting for the scanner to be fully charged so I can scan my first purchases. At Last, someone will "listen" to me!!!

Got to get busy quilting tomorrow!!

well it is supposed to rain today (of course, its my quilting day!) but I enjoy spending my Tuesdays at Quiter's Cove here in Orlando...great company, lots of fabric and I actually get something done!  Pics later.

This is the reason to support marching bands..

End of the Festival

It has been a long week for the Council of 101 but things could not have gone better for us.  It is too early to tell just how much money we raised for the Museum but rest assured.....it's a lot!  Glad to see a couple of my fellow quilters come to the show too.  I think I must have painted about 300 kids over the course of the Festival so my fingers are exhausted.  Next up for the Council?  Our Antique and Garden Show in February! and even with the pictures I took......I did not take pictures of ALL of the wreaths and trees..... Last of my festival photos:

Now it is time to get ready for all the cooking for Thanksgiving and concentrating on doing some quilting!

Some old inspiring Festival of trees pics

That's me in the corner.....
