We had a great Open House weekend - snow and all!!  It's sure nice to see the sun shinning.

The winners of Show & Tell were: 1^st place - Angela Mayell; 2^nd place – Cindy Semple & 3^rd place - Susan Clarke.

Door prize winners are: Jan Koiste, Maureen Sanderson, Ruby Doan and Teri Thayer.

I take Wednesdays off and so yesterday decided that I should make supper for my family - for the first time since Christmas.  I made a wonderful meal - with mashed potatoes for my grandson (because that's all he will eat).  He just loves them, but being the connoisseur that he is they have to be smooth with absolutely no chunks.  Unfortunately, in my zeal to make the perfect mashed potatoes added too much milk and ended up with the consistency of thick soup!  My grandson would not eat them.                                                      I scooped the potatoes off his plate with a spoon and was about to dump them in the garbage when it suddenly hit me that I should be composting them instead.  I pulled the spoon back just in time to avoid the garbage bin but, not the floor.  The giant blob of white mush, right in front of my son-in-law,  plopped onto the kitchen floor.                                                                              I started laughing, my son-in-law started rolling his eyes and the dog who has serious digestive problems ran over and inhaled the, what he thought was a treat.  Glenn walked away muttering under his breath that I had to clean up the mess the dog was going to make when his stomach rejected the "people food".

Carolyn and I started hanging the new quilt samples today - it takes a little longer than it used to - I must be getting old!  We have some exciting new classes - It's Snowing with Gail Schwier and Monet's Broken Star with Elizabeth Lake!
Don't forget our OPEN HOUSE - Friday and Saturday, January 14 & 15.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

It's been a little over a month since I posted my last entry - I have a good excuse - I was totally engrossed in getting our Winter 2011 Class Schedule finished - which it now is and by the way, ready for you to pick up at the store or to download from our web site: http://www.quiltandstitch.ca/newsletters/Winter2011.pdf

Another reason for my absence is that just before Christmas I got very sick - a really bad cold and I'm not better yet!! 

My family and I had a great Christmas - my daughter and the grand kids gave me a Tundra coat (good up to 40 below) so, of course the weather warmed up and, just because I'm actually ready for the deep cold for the first time in my life the rest of the winter should be pretty mild!

Our OPEN HOUSE is Friday, Jan. 14 & Saturday Jan. 15 - it's hard to believe that a whole year has gone by - it's our 1st Anniversary!  It's party time!!
drop in for some tasty treats, great discounts, demonstrations and give-aways!

Keeping you in stitches,
