Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff…

On Tuesday, it was our LAST Cloth Castle Club Day for 2012…and my last Club Day until May!  The girls sure didn’t disappoint…they are such talented, diverse and FUN quilters! All the projects and quilts were gorgeous! 

Pour yourself a coffee, sit back and watch the show……YIKES!  I forgot how much there is to see…SEW…let’s see the smaller projects today and the bigger things tomorrow…There are just TOO many things for one day!

Who wouldn’t love to receive some handmade wool socks and in such lovely colours!  Some for mom and some for her child..CUTE!

  3. Love the Nativity scene. I am machine quilting a Nativity scene but not like that one. And I have one I am doing hand embroidery on.
    Aren't you afraid you are going to miss out on a whole lot while you are gone and they are still meeting!
