January Cobblers Night..

Sister Jana called me yesterday and said "whats for supper?" i told her i hadn't really thought about it and she said.. its quilt night! i had forgotten all about it!! GEEZ
She had a quilt she needed to tie as did Auntie Pat so we decided she would host and we would order pizza.

 we checked out Sisters sewing room.... love it!

 Carol P had gotten this cool clock for Jana..

 Then it was time to Tie!
Auntie Pats was first!
for her grandson who loves bacon (sashing fabric)

 Jana had made this for Carol and her Husband Chuck
who are having a ceremony this weekend to renew there wedding vows..(34yrs)
she had left before we tied this.
jana is having it embroidered with their original wedding date and
the renew ceremony date.

then it was time to celebrate sisters Jan 2 birthday!

busy weekend..

a friend and I went to our first sale of the year, one i have gone to for many years...
we got there right when the doors opened at 7am.
i have stood in a freezing below 0 line many times.. this year it was above 0.

a few of my treasures...

my family has used these spoons for soup ever since living in japan..

then we found an antique flea market!

 i found another rug beater.. it was only 3.00!

then we stopped in this fun market!
son Jason ended up with the bull dog sauce i bought, and daughter Angie wants some of the fish
so guess we will be going back!

next it was time to watch our favorite hockey player!

we made it to 3 of his games this weekend.

Lastly a Birthday party for grandbabe Brody! 9 years old now!!

Joyce brought Mary a belated b-day gift her son/daughter in law had made.

and then there were our Christmas gifts.. we each make 8 of the same thing and pass them out!
i made the pincushion cup/plate. and i glued a magnet to a clamp thingy to wear on our shirts when we tie quilts as we are always loosing our needles...

sister Jana made the table runners..

Carol made the door pockets...

Cobbler Beth was home for the holidays and ordered us stemless wine glasses as shes a busy mom these days! her sister Karen made us 3 magnets as she always crashes our Cobbler Christmas!

Carol P with the help of her Mr. made us candle holders out of Diamond Willows & made us camel sauce.. Yum!
Auntie Mary Made us Door stops, Joyce made us her yearly Peanut Brittle, Pat made us Coasters, and gave us a magnet and 2 hangers!
