Happy April! Spring is always the best time for something new. Actually, anytime is a good time for new things. So, I have a new dog! After vowing never to have pets again, here we are. He was a stray that needed a good home. He is the most mild mannered, well behaved dog that I have ever met. We call him Jeter and if you are in the neighborhood, you can meet him at the store. He loves everyone! Also speaking of new things, or just news, my daughter informed us she is going to have a baby! This is their first and they are very excited. They had an ultra sound and got to see the heart beat yesterday.It won't be here until November so we wait! Also speaking of firsts, I get to go on my first Crabapple Hill retreat! Next week four of us are going to head to the Tri-Cities to have a fun weekend of embroidery with Meg Hawkey at her retreat studio! I'll try to share pictures on our Face Book page if I remember! Embroidery has always been my first love. I started embroidering on pillowcases and towels when I was in 4th grade. My grandma would then crochet the edges. Embroidery, dogs and grand babies, all good distractions while we wait for the snow to melt! Happy Quilting, Pam
Such a handsome boy!
