Girlfriends

 It has been an October like no other. You all know how difficult this time of year can be for us, especially Charlotte. Well, praise God, it has been a wonderful month! School is going well for her. She LOVES it....and great news...Zach begins on Monday and will go Monday thru Wednesday and I will homeschool Thursday and Friday. The school uses the same curriculum we do. Isn't God AWESOME!? Sassy and I think so!

I have been working on a little quilt for a baby boy. I love the colors and the pattern is a favorite! I am almost finished! 

I taught hand quilting a couple of weeks ago. I love teaching that class. It is so fun to see the ladies get the technique and then begin to really enjoy the process. I met 3 ladies at my We!ght Watchers meeting last year, and every Tuesday, my mom and I go to lunch with them. Can you believe ALL 3 of them are quilters????

Is that amazing? Well they are all pretty much machine quilters, but all 3 wanted to take my class, so they did!! Melody, on the far right, actually has done some hand quilting on her own before, but now I think she will feel better about it. She is in the process of English Paper Piecing and I know she will want to hand quilt that one! Ronda, standing next to Melody, has a table runner all ready to hand quilt on, and Carol, on the far left, finished her class project that same night of the class!! She is now piecing hand embroidered blocks her mother made into a large (King Sized) quilt and will hand quilt it!! I love it!!! They come most Monday's and we walk 4-5 miles. Such a nice group of ladies!!! They all came to my Mom's surprise party and brought their husbands!

We have all either hit the 50 pound mark, or are very close. They all inspire me to do better!!!!

 On that note, I will close, and be back when the baby quilt is done and there is something different in the hoop!
