Hello Cuties, I wanted to say my day with the 'Maine ladies' went well. When I first told one lady that I was getting Pearlie to come down, so we could get in my sewing room & talk quilts, she wanted to come too. She doesn't sew, but she told another lady and so it spread like wildfire.<br /><br /><br /><br />

Then instead of an afternoon get together they wanted lunch and everyone brought a dish, just like southerners here do.<br /><br /><br /><br />
I had eight ladies and myself. I told them they could bring one more lady, as my table sits ten.-lol-They said that would be my husbands place.... He ate his lunch early, as the first were coming in and then he left- too many women I guess.-lol <br /><br /><br /><br />
Have you ever seen brownies made in an iron skillet? Look at these blueberries...um, um good!<br /><br /><br /><br />
What started as a sewing/quilting party turned into a hen party.-lol- The one down on the far right, by the refrigerator is the quilter. She is red haired Pearlie and we say she looks like Shirley MacLaine.-lol- She doesn't do her own quilting, but pieces the quilt tops and then has them professionally quilted. She pieced 31 tops one year! WOW!!!<br /><br /><br /><br />
My daughter is on the end, turned with the Smoky Mountain tee shirt on. She went with all of us on our trip.<br /><br /><br /><br />
I think everyone loved getting together and all but three are going on the Colorado trip in May. One has been several times, ones husband has cancer and not doing so well, and grand kids will be ending their school year so my daughter won't be going.<br /><br /><br /><br />
Just wanted to show you our girls day out!-Toogie<br /><br />
