I cannot believe it is April 21st already. It has been raining and cold the last 2 days, but the sun is out now. I worked 64+ hours last week and attended one day of a two day conference in Saratogo Springs on "Winning Rural Campaigns". My husband and I are political junkies - he ran the campaign for the democratic candidate for our Congressional District last fall. He lost but then we live in a very republican district. Anyway...I missed the speeches by Patterson and Cuomo Friday nite because I did not get out of the ER until after 11pm. But did attend two of the seminars on Saturday which were very informative. After lunch and more speeches we went to a great garden shop in Saratogo Springs called Hidden Gardens Extraordinary Floral Designs that was just filled with concrete statues of angel, frogs, rabbits, and beautiful rusted objects such as wirley gigs and urns. I wish had had the forethought to take a picture. I bought a frog and a rabbit and an ?orb. I did clean up two of my garden beds and sifted a pile of compost. Needless to say, I have not done much sewing, although I did finish an "altered sweatshirt" - I just needed to finish the binding around the bottom and the sleeves. The sweatshirt is an XL - so way to big for me, so I will put it up for sale on Artfire.
And I am still fussing over the Nic quilt - I decided to put a center block in and now cannot decide if I want to add pictures of people from my trip printed on fabric or to add abstract designs/embellishments.
I am leaving for an Internal Medicine conference tomorrow, so I hope to get a chance to go to a few fabric stores and I will worry about this quilt when I get back.
Happy Spring!
