We're packing up the trunk show, making floss kits, putting together door prizes and goody bags and heading for the La Conner Quilt Fest! I'll be teaching there this weekend and I just can't wait to see everybody! I wish that Sheila had been able to come with me to help with the class but she's busy with kids etc.... DARN! I'd bring Cindy along, but she doesn't stitch or sew.....so much for THAT! LOL!!!! I'd have asked Jan, but she's going to be with her sisters all weekend and I don't want to ruin her "girl's weekend"! So.... it's just me..................maybe I could get Phil to sit in on the class???? He HAS to have picked up SOME stitching skills over the years, even if just by osmosis!? No.... he refuses to learn to stitch............just CAN'T understand why NOT!! LOLOL!!
I'm sure that it's going to be just gorgeous crossing the mountains (lots of fall color!) and we'll be staying at a campground that's right on the water... YAY!!! I'm meeting a friend there and we're going to go to the quilt show on Saturday! Usually I miss all the fun because I'm in classes the whole time, so this will be a real treat! The show is focusing on applique (don't know quite why they invited ME to teach! I think somebody made a mistake?.... well, I guess I do a LITTLE bit of applique.... hmmmm......) ANYWAY!!!! I LOVE applique and can't wait to see these quilts!! Every one will probably be a work of art. I'm so excited about it I just CAN'T STAND IT!! Maybe I'll see YOU there???! Tho I guess you'd walk right by me without saying "Hi!" because I don't plan on wearing a big sign on my back that says "I'm Meg Hawkey". I'll just have to say hello to EVERYbody and hope I get lucky?..... or get arrested for being obnoxious???........maybe that's not such a good plan.
We've been busily preparing for the first Stitching Sojourn Retreat. Today I tried out a brunch recipe that Jan gave me...I brought it out to the studio so that Cindy and Sheila could taste test it this morning and it got a "thumbs up"!..... Cindy & I think we're going to have to doll it up a little bit tho....can't leave well enough alone...EVER!!! LOL!!! We're having so much fun preparing and planning... I wish you could ALL come and visit!
See you in La Conner!

Cindy doesn't STITCH??!! that needs to be remedied quickly! ;0
Have fun. Wish I could be there.
I tried to teach Cindy how to stitch...she just wasn't excited at ALL by it! Crazy huh??? We'll let her off the hook tho. She's a sweetie, and she does a great job with the patterns and shipping, and she's honest and can be trusted to the N'th degree. Wouldn't trade her for ANYthing! xo Meg
