Goodies in the Mail

Early arrivals for Alex's retreat had the opportunity to gather at In Between Stitches for a sew night and shopping the evening before retreat. There was a beautiful quilt displayed on the wall that several of us fell in love with, of course the kit was sold out. Since so many of us wanted the quilt kit Melissa kindly consented to making more up and mailing them to us and she even paid the postage. So that's one more on the list to have finished by next years retreat. The fabrics are beautiful - can't wait to get started. But--- I have a few things to finish first!! Today's agenda includes getting a couple blocks made for Marlene's quilt. They WILL be in the mail on Monday along with little Dylan's Christmas present. Guess it doesn't do any good to get the shopping done and not mail the presents. I also have to finish 3 small customer quilts and I am hoping to get Arlena's I Spy quilt at least put together this weekend. I'm going to be busy!! I still have a few fabrics to get for the I Spy but I did have quite a stash left from the one I made for Mason a couple years ago.

I also have to make a decision. I found a dog sitter for next week and may go back to Indiana for Christmas. I just can't decide to go or not. Whether I stay here or go I won't be with any of my kids for Christmas and it's cold in Indiana. So - just don't know.
