Our Quilters Weekend Retreats continue to be successful with Kim hosting the weekends in April and in November each year. Quilters come with either a project of their own to work on or something that Kim is teaching. In November, Kim taught a collage quilt pattern that was a bit artsy and a lot of fun. This coming May 4th-6th she is hosting a knitting weekend and will invite quilters as well.

The colors looked great every time I used them, but I was well and truly stuck in a rut.

I don't think our kids know what an apron is. The principle use of Grandma's apron was to protect the dress underneath because she only had a few. It was also because it was easier to wash aprons than dresses and aprons used less material. But along with that, it served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven.
