Wonderful Day of Applique

The Southern Magnolia Applique Society had our first meeting of 2008 today. We are the only Georgia chapter of The Applique Society.

We are coming up on our second Anniversary and we always celebrate it in a big way. We as a group have a retreat to celebrate each Anniversary, we book a cabin or two and sew and chat and eat for a weekend. Usually this is right around shop hop time and so we get to rest from that as well.

I have uploaded all the photos to the SMAS Gallery. This is the direct link to the January 2008 Gallery.

It isn’t very often I get to be in the pictures as I am usually taking them.
This is me with my finished BOM.

You can also see the work that was done on my nose over the holidays.
Still some swelling especially on the bridge area.

This is a photo of the other gals as the meeting. This is Chere, Judy, Sue and Anne.

The Best Laid Plans

Well I was hoping to get the site updated and get some goodies uploaded but it took me longer to change things and health got in the way.
I am hoping to have some EQ6 projects on the site soon as well as quilts for sale.  I have a lot of gatherings this week and then I will be
able to work on the site more.

My 2 surgeries that I had so far are healing nicely, I got all the stitches out this week and now I am just waiting for the swelling to go down.
They did rebuild my nose and the Dr. used my septum to rebuild it instead of taking it from somewhere else.
This is the first time in over 3 years that I haven’t had to wear a bandage or bandaid on my nose.  I can also breathe better except for the
allergies that I have this week.

Our weather has went from 20,s for a high back to 60’s so I plan on airing out the house this week and getting it scrubbed before the next rain comes.

Happy New Year everyone, by the way, my resolution is to finish one UFO a month, so far I am 1 for 1.
