Lovely Day with Joanne Livingston Meeting Fellow Bloggers, Katy Cameron, Laura Lochore and Travelin' Jack!

Yesterday was a lovely day spent riding (thank you, Joanne, for diriving) up to Sedona, Arizona with Joanne Livingston (DesertMountain Bears) to meet with fellow bloggers, Katy Cameron (The Littlest Thistle) Laura Lochore (Quokka Quilts) and last, but certainly not least, Katy's faithful traveling companion, Jack (created by Ginger Brame) Jack has his own traveling blog, too!    We enjoyed lunch outside, shopped a bit, walked a bit, laughed a lot.   Thanks for the great day, ladies (and Jack)!

I hope you have a lovely day filled with all of God's bountiful blessings.

Lots of hugs,

Thinking about Mom so much this week - the quilt show she used to participate in will be held this coming weekend.  She was the most amazing quilter - each quilt held a little bit of her heart.  Even though I miss you, Mom, I feel your heart. xxxx

I finished my "Crazy Pattern Lady" Bear!

My last post described how I design most of my patterns (like a crazy lady ;o) with nothing but scissors and cardstock paper (in this instance, it was a coupon from TGI Friday's)!    For the more complicated patterns, I do draw out the designs freehand and once I even traced a real baby bear's face from my computer monitor as it was so sweet!  I've yet to make that bear, but I still have the traced face and one day I will make her!   Here's my wee little handful, Ava.  She was created using the pattern that was made from the TGI Friday's coupon - she is flying off to Australia today!  xxx
