November 2024 Life and Quilt Update

 

Our theme this year, JOY!!!  I believe we all need a bit of a help in adding this to our lives.  If you didn't get a chance to check out the post explaining it all --- here is the LINK to the initial post.  I'm looking forward to the direction this can take us all, but especially myself, if I give it a fair shot.  Sometimes stepping out of comfort zones is challenging, but it almost always allows for growth.  Here we go for November:  This month has a tendency to turn our thoughts to those things we are grateful for. When I saw this --- I knew this was the perfect month to allow this type of joy to permeate our souls. Be joyful, y'all. 

November 2024 Holiday Retreats

I can hardly believe that it's been 10 years since I began hosting retreats.  This weekend marks that.  It is our 11th November together and I treasure the friendships that have come out of this endeavor.  It's time to retreat.

14th - First, Debi, Stephannie, and I meet up for coffee and chatting in Joshua.  Our cars outside like look a homeless convention - as if everything we own is in them.  I should have taken a picture, but didn't.  Oh well.

Houston Quilt Festival - Day 2 - 50th Anniversary Fun

 Day 2 starts with the GOLDEN GIRLS!  That's right.  We are out en force wearing the gold.  I just love doing fun things like this.  First order of the day is a group picture.
