Wahoo!!!!!! Studio Time!!

 Friday I got to play in the studio!!!!!

Got a quilt top made for Ms. Rylee--needed some "retail therapy" for the backing--that has been accomplished, so am hoping I can get the back made this week. (no picture at this time tho as camera's aren't working)

Got the binding on some quilts too:
Disappearing 9-Patch was gifted to Ms. Rae as a thank you/college graduation gift for allowing Michelle "hang-out" in her dorm between classes, etc. this past year.
Don't remember the name of this pattern. Pieced the quilt a few years ago, but just got it finished:
Gifted to Ms. Sarah as a college graduation gift.

GULP!!!!!

Oh where oh where has the time gone?????  Been super busy  the last while!

** Michelle graduated college--YEAH! No more tuition bills!! And she landed a full-time job 2 weeks later in her "field!" So happy for her!

**Attended a quilting retreat hosted by Debi and Dennis over at www.somewheresewing.com between bus routes---not sure what I accomplished besides visiting and eating!! But we had fun!

** My Dad was hospitalized the first week of May for 2 days....and then again the la\t week of May. Not sure how much more he can handle....congenial heart failure is the pits!!! Spent a lot of time with him and Mom, took a few days off of work to be there during his last surgery.

** Stress level was high so took my "personal" day and atteneded a weekend retreat with some friends in Southern Ohio--again, had a blast, not accomplishing much but destressing!

**School is now out for the year....the buses I had to clean are cleaned....so I am hoping to get back into the studio again.  Have some consignments to get going and a few "wanna do's" and quite a few quilts to bind....

So it's off I go to at least find the sewing table and machine under the piles!
