Pin & Needles

Hello Everyone,
 
I'm on pin & needles waiting for my twenty-five ladies to arrive for my Sew'n Wild Oaks quilting retreat at Snowflake Lodge.
 

The ladies are coming from New Mexico, Idaho, Napa area, Santa Cruz, the Sacramento Valley, and the San Francisco Bay Area.  What fun we are going to have!!  I'll post pictures throughout the week of the festivities.  It all begins tonight when the ladies show up at Wilder's Last Resort for dinner.  I have enough food in the fridge to feed an army.......homemade rolls, Chinese Chicken Salad, and meatball soup.  It is definitely soup weather in the Sierras.  Crisp, cool nights and mornings with crystal blue sky during the day.  Perfect quilting weather.

When I planned this retreat months ago, I had no idea my favorite baseball team, the San Francisco Giants, would be in the World Series.  I look ghastly in orange, but I'm going to take one for the team and dress in my orange and black tomorrow for game #6.  Maybe it will be a good thing if all of my girls wear orange since it is hunting season!  I don't want my DEAR quilters to be mistaken for a DEER!

Soon,
Lynn

  3. I'm a Giants fan too! Who'd have thought they'd have a fan living in a field in Scotland! Can't promise to wear orange.. makes me look nasty... but I will be watching on TV and cheering them on. Love your pumpkins and the food in the fridge sounds yummy. Wish I could be there......xxx
