Today we drove over to Colfax to do some shopping and drop off that shop sample I did. We did our grocery shopping (mostly veggies – the garden’s petering out) then came home. The roosters got a reprieve from slaughtering til tomorrow because it was too late to mess with it. Dinner’s on the stove (meatloaf, fried potatoes, maybe something else – I’m not sure) being cooked – by me for a change! – and Mike’s working away on his computer. After dinner I’m going to start on my nephew’s quilt. All in all a pretty ho-hum kinda day. Aren’ t you glad you asked? LOL.

Two days ago, I created a quilting mailing list, called “QuiltingFrenzy”. I created it because the mailing list I have been on since September – “ACozyQuiltBee” – has been going through some growing pangs and has decided off-topic stuff is maybe not-so-welcome. QuiltingFrenzy is a very off-topic-friendly type of list, and is growing rather quickly. We’re already up to 24 members, and counting. It warns that it could be high-volume, which it is, and often off-topic, which it is. And I love it. I’m having a ball. I’ve even created a website for it (a sub-site of this one, at least for the time being). So if you have some interest in quilting (or at least don’t mind the occasional quilting-related post.. LOL), you can subscribe to it. Just go here.

Besides that, there hasn’t been much going on that anyone would really be interested in. Some time back, I bought Sew Precise – a ...

Today I went into Colfax for a quilting class with Pat Magaret and Donna Slusser. They are famous for their work with Watercolor Quilts. I’ve been taking a Monday night class with them called Quilting Basics & Beyond, in which they teach you the basics of quilting, including how to make some of the better-known block patterns. I have one more Monday left of that class this session (on Nov. 22nd). Today’s class was called Fabric Tapestries and was all about how to use color, and how to recognize differences in color, etc.

I was late leaving for the class (it started at 10, it was 9:30 before I remembered it), so I was in a hurry to get there. I was speeding. Of course, today HAPPENED to be the one day since we’ve lived here that there was a police officer cruising the highway, so yep! I got a ticket. :(

I’m still bummed about Amanda’s not being here, so there’s not much else to report. I’...

WARNING!! This is a very, very long diary entry. Read at your own risk. :)

Amanda left today. She got here Wednesday night, October 27, at about 7:30PM. I hardly know where to begin. Well, I guess I’ll start with how she got here.

I had only given her directions as far as Endicott (not all the way to the house), so I kept waiting for a phone call so we could come get her and show her the rest of the way. At 7:30, we heard a knocking on the door, and it was her. I flung the door open and she said, “Please tell me you’re Dana.” I said, “Thank GOD!! How did you get here?” I was being very manic, because I had been so worried about her. It took me awhile to calm down; I was sort of bouncing all over the place. I just kept saying, “I’m so glad you’re here!!!” She was kind of wiped out from the drive, but I didn’t know her well enough yet to see i...
