It's Coming! It's Coming!

The Quilt Show is coming!

That means that I have been crazy busy since Penny was returned, trying to get on top of my Quilt Show ToDo List.  Today, we had a pipe washing party at my house.

 Please note that no water was wasted as each pipe was wiped down with a wet cloth, then dried with another clean cloth.

 However, much coffee (and less pastry) were consumed during the event.  Love this bunch of happy workers!!

 So much time has been spent with the computer, I haven't had time to post images of the few flowers that have bloomed in the yard.

 These iris bloomed out back, away from the January iris massacre.

 Charlie, working hard, to make the orchids look better.

 Watson discovers a tree.  Can you believe this guy is full grown?  What a dink!

And speaking of cats, Hecate has passed on.  She came back to say goodbye a few weeks ago, and I haven't seen her since.  She did well, for a mostly blind scaredy cat, who spooked whenever anyone made a move in her direction.  I think we had her for at least a decade.

On a happier note, I pulled out some perle cotton on Monday evening, and did a teeny bit of stitching.  Ahhh.  My happy place!

I really should get back to work!  Thanks for the delightful diversion.  Hope to see you at the show!
