I took a class

today with Karen McTavish - Naner Naner... tee hee. Karen came to Tomorrows Heirlooms and today was the wholecloth class, and lucky me, I got to take it.

~

So here is Ms. M showing us one of her quilts from Whitework Quilting - her book.

~

At lunch I sat with a gal named Peg and we started talking about where we were from. I mentioned Kersey and she says - I emailed a quilter in Kersey about Quilts of Valor.... and Surprise - it was Me! She is getting her guild making QOV's and is going to quilt them to add to our numbers - Small world huh?

~


I worked on a 45 x 45 in piece of fabric and I was glad. I got almost the whole thing marked before I had to leave for my oldest sons basketball game. And I was glad I made it to that as well - They WON!!


~

Now I am in such a good mood - My other half is home from his trip to Seattle, My oldest son won, My class was a blast, and the little 2 boys ate all the leftovers... I am going to offer a contest.
~
I need a name for my husband in my blog. - I don't really like refering to him as hubby, or other half, or hub - or anything like that. My one son suggested Spud Muffin - that didn't go over well. So the best suggestion wins a $30 gift card from Knots and Bolts
~
He is the guy in the green shirt, he golfs, he ropes, he chases kids, he cooks a mean steak, and great fettucine, and he ohhs and ahhs appropriately at every quilt I show him... what else do you need to know about him?
~
The contest starts now and ends Friday Night at 9 pm my time. The kids and I will choose the winner and announce it Sunday. Be sure to check back on Sunday and the winner will need to contact me with all their details so I can get Suzanne to get your gift certificate to you - to SHOP... because EVERY one can use some new fabrics right????
~
Have a good one!!

    How about " Mr (first letter or your last name) or my personal favorite "lover boy"!!! Most of the time that's how I refer to my DH...sometimes not though.
    Your so lucky to have a class with Ms M....someday maybe I'll make the trek across the state to see her.

  5. I like descriptive names and as I was reading thru the things you listed with roping followed by chasing kids, it hit me: KidWrangler, one word. Or just Wrangler.

  12. yeah, I'm late, but just catching up to over 130 blog posts while I was working!

    How about Colorado Cowboy--CC for short? He ropes, makes a great steak, but is sensitive enough to oooh and aaahh over quilts. Sounds like a cowboy to me.
