I would get Butch to bring me so you could meet your sweetheart KC but having to be in Bama on the 7th might be a bit much for my hiney doing all that riding. lol
Crazy Quilting is addictive so we just have to STITCH IT OUT LOUD!

Weather sounds bad for a trip up the east coast anyway. Hopefully it will just be rain and over or not bad by Thursday.

Ladies, with the impending storm coming up the East coast, it is very possible that we might be without power for many days.
With that in mind, it might be necessary to postpone our get together. I'll post again on Monday night--Tuesday (hopefully) or call a board member to post for me. The last thing I want to do is leave my home if the power is out (besides, Katie is 15 years old tomorrow--Katie is my poodle) and I'm not leaving her in an unheated house.
Here it is 3AM & I am drooling with envy, So would love to join all of you, but Illinois is a bit far for this 81yr. old. Youall have a great time for me. Not a mariner but would love to see Maine this time of year if it wasn't for Sandy and this old body. Enjoy! nuquiltr
Nuquiltr, sorry you cannot join us. While Maine is a beautiful state, right now it's quite a mess. The rain is coming down in buckets and our area is in a flood watch. The ducks are already enjoying the backyard!
Thanks KC1930 It may be a mess, but I would still come if I could. Hope all of you have a real good time anyway. It will all dry out eventually. Been there, done that before. Right now we are getting some of that wind, and it is colder. nuquiltr
I've got things in train for the luncheon on Thurs. We had a sunny afternoon here in Raymond today (Tues). The wind died down to nothing. No damage to our place and no power outage which can't be said for so many thousands here in the state of Maine. I hope to see all of you on Thurs.
My tote is on the table with Yankee Swap, Xmas FQ, camera, tissue, cough drops, measuring tape and on the table beside it my water thermos so I can fill it the last minute. Cash in my tummy pack and a credit card, just in case.
Hope to see all of your there at Cracker Barrel on Thurs. See ya, Sandra/quiltbea

Sandra, don't forget your show-and-tell! See ya, Sandra/quiltbea
And last, but not least, here is Mom sharing one of her AG dresses she is making for our woman's group. It still needs all the trims put on. She even made some ruby slippers to match!
Oh, we will certainly have another in spring! And summer...and fall...and....
The Old Country Buffet has a room that holds about 30-35, so if we want to plan one for March or April on a Saturday, with enough planning we can work it out. Let me know if that would work for those of you who would like to join in.
Mardens is just the best. We had to have at least six members to get our 10% discount and only had five, but I asked and they gave it to us. While it might not be much, it was very nice they could bend the rules for us. I will be sending them a nice thank you note from the group!
What fun to see the happy faces. KC, your Mom's dress is beautiful!! Did she teach you to sew? Trumpets sounded when my Mom sewed on a button, it was that rare. lol

Yes, she did. I posted a long reply, but I had a trigger word and the admin to check it before posting.
