I don’t really
have any, do you?! I just plan to have as good a time as I can, spending time
with loved ones, friends, enjoying good food, the occasional tipple and of
course a lot, an awful lot of patchwork and quilting, yesss!
What I have
always loved at the beginning of a new year is that brand new diary, putting
fresh ink in my fountain pen and writing in those special dates first,
birthdays, wedding anniversaries etc. The
next dentist appointment always comes last for some reason …..
The
Americans have very many special days in their calendar, some of my favourites:
National Margarita Day (February 22), National Cheesecake Day (July 30) and
National Fried Chicken Day (July 6)! This
is all bit of fun but today I came across one that made a lot of sense to me:
Visit YourLocal Quilt Shop Day!
January 24
appears to be the day, but let’s face it, any day will do. Let’s support our
quilt shops this year, let’s give this economic crisis a good kick up the old ‘behind’ and buy a bit here and there if you can as a thank you to the people in
the quilt shops for always helping us out, supplying us with cups of coffee,
tea and sympathy, cookies, fun and inspiration!
Always room
for a few more fq’s !
First bee
date was at mine last week, I thought a few bubbles where in order, to make
those stitches go more fluently…
A bit more
on quilting next blogpost, did not get a lot done over het Xmas period and
right now my evenings are taken up by watching this with DH and DD, all 20
hours of it:
Missed it
when it was on tv (too late in the evening for us), but it is great!
‘See’ you
soon,
Phyllis
