You know I love going to teach and meeting new quilters, but I have to admit that it is a lot of work to get ready…not only do I have to pack all the stuff, quilts kits, threads and teaching materials…I have to get myself ready and being away from home another 4 days, is very hard..I miss another 3 more football games…Menasha is 3-0, girls!  I did get to watch the game i missed last week on the television it was the game of the week…this week we play our long time rival/neighbors Neehah…who are 0-3, so it should be a win for us…if the guys don’t  take it too lightly…we had some problems last week holding onto the ball and some little issues that will matter in big games later on…back to my issues…I need to get all the bills payed for personal and business and make sure things are going well and everybody is on task with the shop, warehouse and now the retreat house…boy…not very many hours left…so last night  I realized I did not have any hand sewing ready to take along…so I was fusing a wool block, settler’s pride,  into the night when I should have been packing my suitcase.  Well enough whinning for me…now I have to switch the laundy loads…maybe I can get one more done before I leave at 8am today….Her are the last two blocks I stitched from this Settler’s Pride…love this quilt….
