Another Monday...

Happy Birthday, Van!!!

The decision was made on Friday that I would turn over my sewing room to my son, so he would have lots of space for all of his things when he moves back home. By Saturday evening the change was made...all of my things were crammed into the little room, whatever didn't fit was hidden someplace else in the house and my new sewing room and his bedroom were set up. Did I mention I moved all the furniture, books, etc. myself? So here's the new room, complete with cat...

It was a lot of work, but having Andrew home is its own reward....On Sunday after church, the boss (who celebrated his birthday on Saturday) and I drove down to Wheaton Village for a quilt show. There were beautiful applique quilts (this one by Debbie from The Little Shop in Haddonfield, NJ)Some that were hand quilted and gorgeous...

And some that were just fun to look at (yes, this one is sideways!)

We enjoyed the day...came home and took care of some things around the house, helped Andrew sort through some of his stuff to be donated to Goodwill, had a quiet evening.

Then today came...along with the phone call. "Uh, mom? You're going to be mad at me...I found a place to live and I won't be coming home after all. Sorry you did all that work for nothing!"

On the bright side, he'll be taking his dog with him! And I guess I'll be moving back down the hall...I mean, why waste that nice big room by making it a guest room?!?

Sunday Afternoon

Just a quick hello...I don't have any pictures to share, in spite of the fact I went to a wedding and a quilt show this weekend! It's been fun...the son of friends was married on Friday night in a beautiful ceremony. The groom is in the Marines and was told to report for training with no leave...the wedding almost didn't happen! But, the Marines kindly gave him the weekend off so he could get married, the honeymoon is on hold.

Today a local guild had their show. To my surprise, a large number of quilts were hand quilted! It was nice to see as the last few shows I'd been to, very few entries were hand quilted. I did run into a friend who owns a local shop...The Village Quilter. She's just taken the store online, and started a blog, so stop by and say hi...tell her I sent you!

I'm off to the sewing room...
