Family Importance

I only see my brother a few times a year. Same with my mother even though she lives about eight miles away. She's busy with her art stuff.

But my brother lives seven or eight hours (instead of miles) away down in Cincinnati. He came up for his and my moms birthday on Thursday night and we spent all of yesterday going to art exhibits, shopping at antique markets, and going out to eat in Bay City. From there, we headed to Hobby Lobby in Midland before coming home. Jim stayed behind. It's too hard for him to do much walking right now. 

Needless to say, no long arming occurred yesterday on my part. Jim did some work on DW. But the previous day resulted in this going into the quilt on Marty...


After working on that quilt all day, and Jim starting to get into the one on DW...

Putting a frame around each of these already "quilted" blocks

I started getting ready for the retreat that starts next Tuesday...
Cutting and sorting for each block
I have much more cutting to do. After my meeting this morning in town I'll continue this afternoon.

The meeting I have this morning is with Linda for a possible retreat location downtown Gladwin at the Riverwalk. While we enjoy the retreats at The Springs, Riverwalk offers a few higher ended options; chef versus cook, pedicure versus a chair massage, beautiful suites versus 'just a room' rooms, and the view is spectacular out two sides of the room versus being in the basement of a large building.

We've conjured up some interest with people Linda and I have talked to and will talk some more about it while we are in Shipshewana with those girls there. But we have to nail down some specifics because questions will be asked we need answers for before they are asked of us.
