How to end the year in style....

[CindyB]

Lifeisgrand (Marcia) and I met today in Ames, IA for an afternoon of fun!

First, we were both late! LOL - I got a little bit of a late start, because I wanted to take my camera, which DH had taking pictures of the beautiful winter landscapes - and how did I think I was going to get 60 miles in an hour and get gas and go to the grocery store, I'll never figure out (groceries waited until the trip home - which was for the best anyways!) With holiday traffic, I got to Ames about 25 minutes late...

Here's Marcia:




And a huge quilt top she made from a scrap bag she bought dirt cheap at a sale:







Here is a beautiful wall hanging she also made and brought to show me. I love the little Christmas trees in the center!










Here we are together:




And one of me, with the fabric we picked out for my BabyLock quilt block entry:

Love 'meeting' both of you!! I admire both of you - for your kind efforts on behalf of the soldiers in the hospital in Germany - for your undertaking of the Ark-angels project. You are both wonderful credits to this forum, and it is nice to see your pictures!

Really looks like you've had a nice day!!

Dito gmaann. You girls have done such wonderful things this year.

I love seeing the pictures of you enjoying your day together. A GREAT way to end the year. Both of you look so pretty with your boa's wrapped around you!

CindyB best wishes in the contest!! The colors are so nice and bright it will be a shoe it! You go girl.

Marcia, I loved helping with the pillow cases. You look so happy in the pictures. You look like life is grand!

You both have the Angel dimples.
Looks like a very fun time spend together.
How much more *Fun* can you have?

*Fun*!!! Much more - but not if I want to go to Paducah (and spring break with DD in Puerto Rico before that)!

This was my last big shopping trip until Paducah...

It looks like you two had a great time! I hope I get to meet you both soon!

Nice seeing you girls having fun!!

[Evie]

You two look like you had a blast!

Cindy, you know you will be buying more fabric before Paducah!

But not in the quantities I did today!!

I was on a hunt for FAIRY FROST! And I found it - didn't I Marcia!!!

LOL - they had it in with the color family it belonged with, not together in a "Fairy Frost" section!!! What fun that was... the gals at the store were holding some for me, some (silver) I got on sale, and I found some VERY cool colors - blue and yellow - who would have guessed that I would pick those!!! LOL!!!
