On Saturday morning we packed Mr. Energy in the car for a trip to the Apple Butter Festival at Fenner Arboretum. It was very cold but the sun was shining. Seems like it's been a long time since we've seen the sun. We saw Jackie B and Pam A (and another quilter that I didn't know) quilting on behalf of the CCQG. Cubby wasn't too interested in stirring the apple butter, I think the fire and smoke was too scary. But he loved the music and actually sat still for a song or two.
This is his "I'm at the top of the stairs and I'll be gone by the time you can get up here" smile. Gamma Gamma needed a nap by the end of the day...
On Sunday I drove to Kalamazoo to the Log Cabin Quilter's Show. Cyndee was too sick to go so I drove alone and made a side trip to see my parents. Saw Kari and Dan at the show too. Bought too much hand-dyed fabric from Windberry Studio but I couldn't resist. The show has moved from the hotel to the fairgrounds. Easy access off of the highway but unfortunately not much improvement in the lighting which was my biggest complaint at the Raddison. Nice show. About 300 quilts. This quilt is by Billie Gunderson and uses Jane Sassaman fabric.
I have quite a stack of Jane fabrics that I have collected. Maybe it's about time...

oooh, I see that mischief shining out of Cubby's eyes --- he is such a cutie! I do know how they can absolutely exhaust grandmas! I was out of town, so couldn't go to the Kazoo show --- I'm sorry I missed it --- I always enjoy it. Also, love your poster --- think I should take this class, too.
Thanks for the care package from the Kazoo show. I am so sorry to have missed it. Jacob is getting to look so much like a young man rather than a toddler. I like his short short hair cut. Cough...cough...Ms. Sicko here.
Lisa, how can he keep getting cuter?? His Mama is a pretty Mama, too. Loved the impish look at the top of the stairs. His time with you is going to be remembered all his life. Daisy
looking forward to seeing your upcoming "Jane" quilts! :)
