Wow, time sure flies- it is Saturday already!
Last night, I didn’t feel like cooking, so I could feel a date night was needed. Joe, my DH, had the same idea and we were even thinking of the same restaurant to visit. We both picked an Indian Food restaurant and so off we went.

Time to share my works in progress. I’m making progress on the double wedding ring quilt for my friend, Nancy, who lives in North Carolina. I also mailed off 3 blocks for a group quilt project for a quilter battling a major illness. Today was the cut off date, so I made it under the [...]
