Nice to hear about your adventures gals. I did get pics posted on my blog...so check 'em out!
I am off to play Bunco tonight. Been playing with the same gals for over ten years. We all had kids in high school together and when the kids graduated, we missed each other's company. So we started playing Bunco once a month. Ya' know sittin' at those sporting events for years together ya' get to know each other pretty well. Ah...the days of working in the concession stand. It was a fun time in life though.

Glad you told me that was the carriage house, I guess it does look like one now that you mention it. Thanks Carol Sue.
Yes, the quilts were great!

Michelle we have been kicking around the idea of taking a quilting class out at the Buggy Barn, if we get 10 committed people we can have a class or our own doing buggy barn crazy. Let me know if you think that is something you would like to do. Aren't doing it really soon as they bb will be going to market and we have to set it up after that.

Carol Sue, what is buggy barn crazy? Is that a variety of crazy quilting? I'd love to do some of that. Put me down as very interested, but know that it depends on what days/time we could do this. My schedule is about to go crazy busy. I don't want to hold everyone back. E-mail me with a likely schedule, and I can give you a more definite answer. :) That would be so much fun!

Michelle, it would have to be after market, which is in October I think, maybe all the way into November would be good, the cost is 55.00 per person and they serve us lunch. You can go to Buggybarnquilts.com. I think that is right and look up their quilts, they have all kinds of crazies, It is using fat quarters and a cutting technique that is super simple and easier to sew together. We can each do a different crazy or the same one. I love doing them, have done stars, crazy block, village one, shoot have done a couple more and can't remember what they were. Will give plenty of warning and time. I have to be able to afford and save the money for it.

Did you get a chance to meet Virginia Cole from gallopingpony? I've been to 3 quilt retreats with her and sat across from her at two of them. She does incredible work! I always come home wanting to make miniatures. She's so talented and there seems to be no end to her creativity.

No, I don't think I did, now wouldn't a quilt retreat be fun. I have way to many fun ideas running through this head of mine.

I work at a quilt shop just outside of Pomeroy on most Wednesdays from Sept-May. The downstairs is a retreat house. Quilt/craft retreats are lots of fun. If you all would like to consider a small retreat of our own I could check on available dates. Rates are very reasonable and it can be anything from fully catered to do your own food(cheapest way to go). We are heading into our busiest season so there isn't much available right now but we do get cancellations. It would be possible to have a retreat AND do a Buggy Barn crazy class here. I've made several of their patterns and have also taught classes. We don't organize retreats for groups. They do their own thing. If anybody is interested, I can give you more details. Just a few things to think about....lol.

Marcia, I am sitting here laughing. You are talking about Rather Be's, okay, I think I have the name wrong. But an acquantince of mine, her family goes there in Septmeber and has for a bit. Yes, we will have to talk about this one for sure. Yep, made buggy barn crazies too and love them.
Hey have you done the village one, for the life of me I can't remember if that is the name of it. Yep, check out the details for me, I would love it.

Marcia, thanks for posting the connection to gallopingpony. Oh my goodness does that ever give me ideas. How clever to make shrinky-dink ones, you can display them without running out of space! I just love the one with the folks sitting on the old car. I must learn more about this.

Carol Sue,
Yes it's Rather Be's....owned by a good friend of mine. I work for fabric...no kidding. Who is your friend that comes for retreats? We have regular repeat customers for retreats because once you do one you just want to keep it up and the best way to get on the calendar is to immediately book for the next year. That's why it fills up so fast but like I said, we do get cancellations.
The village one? I don't recall that one. What book is it in? I've done Star Crazy, Crazy Among Friends(which is the one on the cover of the book of the same name), Winter Blooms and I'm working on the Kaleidascope one.

Okay, now I am tweaking out, I can't find my book and I just have to cut the houses down to size. Okay, it is the one with 6 different houses and the trees. Someday soon I hope to find the darn book.
We will be talking about that one for sure.
Hey did you find the thread on the get together this Thursday at Dennys, right off I-90 here in Geiger Fields. Let me know, we would love to have you.
