We Saw A Movie

Reg and I saw the movie
 "The Last Stand"
with Arnold Schwarzenegger and we thought it was great.  I have read in the newspaper that it isn't doing well at the box office and we are really surprized.  It was a good story, really good main plot because it was a story that took place in Arizona. 3 sub plots that brought in some humor too.

Phoenix Quilt,Craft, and Sewing Festival

WOW - where has the whole 1st month of January gone?

I went to the PQCSF with my friend Karen on Saturday, Feb 2nd.  We had a great time.  Karen had printed the schedule from the internet (she was planning ahead - that's how we were able to find the classrooms right away to take the classses, THX Karen ) .  We took 2 classes.

I was so excited to see Linda McPhee in person.  Her class on making a vest and/or a jacket from her designs was great - and she taught us how to do the Iron On Metallics.  I talked to her at her booth and she is wintering at Vista Park over on University Dr (where Maryann and I went to that big Craft sale a couple of years ago).
 
We also went to a class by Connie Spurlock about how to turn sweatshirts into jackets.  Her system makes it look EZ.  I hadn't even seen anything by her before but I have now been to her website and she has a lot of stuff for Applique.  Karen and I also went to her booth and did her "Make and Take", a Chicken applique on a dishtowell (see my picture, I finished it at home).   There was a great booth with fabulous doll cloths. And I got to look through Sue's Sparkler's selection of iron on bling and it is so much better than looking at the internet catalog.
