What an Evening!!!

First off I have to thank Thelma for her email blurb on the CQI group on tatting along with her link to her blog. At lunch I had joined up for the online tatting classes and who knows maybe I'll just learn how yet!!! OHHHHH that would make me and Norma H both very very happy - see I've tried on my own and failed!!! If approved, the Meet & Greet is May 7th and my first lesson May 14th - I can't wait - but shoot I need to find those shuttles and needles and books somewhere in this MESS!!!!!!!!! I've wanted to do this for soooo long now I just can't believe it's going to happen!!! YAHOOIE and thank GOD for computers and such charitable friends!!!

Well after work I came home and made a mad dash into the grisly sewing room and very swiftly went through some boxes and drawers and finally found a shuttle and spare bobbin - YAHOOIE I am ready!!!

Then I zipped out and met up with Linda and Patrick for supper at The Pony Coral and had my favourite chicken quesidias before heading over to McNally Robinsons Book Store Sharing Craft session from 7:00-9:00 pm sponsored by the Manitoba Crafts Museum and Library. We had about 16 guests (I'd say mostly stitchers) and I personally had a lovely time and even chatted with the other ladies present in between guests. I had taken Margreet's block with me and beaded the flowers and chatted with those interested in what I was doing.



I had my first CQd block with me and the Mystery Project one that I'd completed last year along with some CQd postcards and then this FFT#5 RR block. It was the first time I saw the progress I've made from the start to where I am now and still learning even more from the various group RRs too.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! to all who helped me get this far.
