Ever have a week when you get a chance to catch up with old friends? My week began with a nice long visit with my favorite cross stitch designer, Merry Cox. She has updated
her website with teaching pieces and her teaching schedule. She is also offering on-line classes so you really can stitch in your pjs! Jump over and visit even if you're not a stitcher. Her pieces are absolutely exquisite. This is her newest piece.
Yesterday I had a chance to go to the Springfield MO bi-annual quilt show. I arrived just in time to attend
Terry Clothier Thompson's lecture on red and green quilts. I have collected several antique red and green quilts and they are my absolute favorite. Terry acquired an antique strawberry quilt and has reproduced it. Of course, I HAD to buy the pattern.
Kay from
Mama's Log House Quilt Shop was one of the vendors. I have known Kay for years and think she has the best selection of reproduction fabrics in the area. Since I didn't take a photo of her cute booth, I am sharing a photo of the historic log house. Check out the story of it on
her website.
Today is the first really cool (59 degrees) day we've had in a long time. I couldn't resist making a batch of whole wheat cinnamon applesauce raisin muffins. Wish you were here to share a cup of tea and a muffin!
Our little group of ladies also went to the show in Springfield, but we did not attend any of the special events. I also like Terry Thompson's quilts. I have a few of her patterns, but I have not made any of them. Mama's Log House is a great place! It is very nice to have her shop so close to where I live.
