We had fun at Quilt Group last Monday! I was especially surprised - a 50th Birthday celebration! Totally surprised. What a sweet group! About 6:25 I was totally wondering where everyone was... why no one had come yet! Terry came in and informed me that traffic was especially stinky, and that must be why everyone was late. You guys are too funny.
A couple of you made wonderful cupcakes for the occasion! (Good think I ran out of time to make the cake I was thinking about!) And I am so thankful for the lovely gifts! I feel so special!

Retreat
Our January retreat will be at Seabeck on January 17-20, 2013. I know that sounds like a long time away, but it's just around the corner! It's $195 for 4 days of quilting and being cooked for! If you haven't come before, maybe now's the time? :-)Block of the Month
We had our first viewing of our Block of the Month project on Craftsy.com. You can rewatch the video if you'd like. It's free, but you do need to register on Craftsy's website and "purchase" the free class. This is the class.Show and Tell
