The rest of the story....

I hadn't planned on making a posting today, but I just got some class photos from Christie.  Christie caught everyone busily stitching.  I think her photos show better than mine how hard everyone worked during class.





Perhaps you noticed that most of the ladies wore red or blue to coordinate with the class project.  You may have also noticed the cups on their tables....that is always a concern to me, but it didn't seem to bother them.  Luckily we didn't have any accidents.  Whew!!

Although this wasn't a QCSG class, everyone who attended is a member and all but two live close enough to make it to our monthly stitch-ins.  We have our stitch-ins on the second Monday morning and the third Wednesday evening of each month (except December).  This month was one of those rare ones when the second Monday and the third Wednesday fall in the same week, so I saw almost everyone earlier in the week.  Sue and I laughed that we had seen each other three times that week since we both made it to the two stitch-ins.

Lisa just emailed me that she finished her needlecase cover last night and hopes to start on the other pieces tonight.  I'm looking forward to seeing her progress (and that of the others) at our guild stitch-ins.

Thank you for your comments about our little Garrett. We can already tell that he is going to be a character.   He's also growing like a weed.  He was 23 inches (yes!!) when he was born and is now 30 inches.  This is 2-1/2 inches taller than our son was at the same age and the same height our daughter was at 18 months.  I wonder how long it will be before Garrett starts looking down on me.

I promise my next posting will have some needlework photos---I have some photos on file from Sandra S. of Harrow in the UK.  Lovely work!

I did notice those cups before I read your comment, and I must say it was a good thing I wasn't there (remember my name... ) But it truly looks like (a good time was had by all"!
