My son is still enjoying keeping fit. He and wife ride weekly a long way and now their two kids go too. Nice to do this as a family!

I I have been working on a few things to have quilts ready for Quilt Art magazine and also doing three episodes for the program. π one thing I am discussing is my embellishing. My quilts have lots!
Keys make great embellishments. In many ways too!!

So I treated myself to Sue Benner's class at Prochem in Fall River Mass. I knew nothing about dyeing though years ago I did dyed fabrics and in college I did mono prints etc.
Wow did I ever have a lot to learn. Great gals and great teacher and facility!
Sue dyed this piece and cut it up later for the class to each have a piece! Such fun.

HHad lobster rolls twice! The East has the BEST LOBSTER!!
Bad weather leaving and we say on plane on Tarmac friction plus hours. Got off plane and a half hour got on plane. Sat an hour and finally took off to Denver with lightening rain and thunder with us all the way. Had to pay for hotel as I missed my connection. Sigh.
Next day found out I could not get out of Denver until 10:55 tonight. Had to leave my hotel room at noon or pay for another day. I did not want to spend 10 hours in airport so I paid a second day. π
But I will be home in bed tonight after midnight and hopefully safe and sound.
This week was a blessing! π
