It was a good day to be sewing!

hiyall!

I had a great day today! I went over to my blogger buddy Lola's house.http://ansewon.blogspot.com/ Lola lives 'up the road' from me. up the road is about 40 mins. I had a wonderful time! Her house is the cutest! It a picture of country prim. She is very talented and a gracious hostess. I wanted to learn how to make these adorable kitchen towel dresses that I saw in her blog. She said sure, come on over and we will have a sewing and gab fest. This was something I really needed since it has gotten very stressful at work and I rely on sewing and quilting as my stress relief and basket weaving therapy. Her hubby BBQ ed a pork butt and man was it excellent! It was 'slap your blue tick hound' delicious! She sent me home with a good size bowl and I will be having it for my lunches. I will have to stop by food dawg for buns and cole slaw It was a very relaxing day except for the thunderstorms that rolled thru. When I got home I was watching the news and discovered the storms may have produced a couple twisters!!!!! It touched down 'up the road' north of us. Did some major damage here and north carolina. We have decided that we will get together at least once a month and I will be looking forward to it! Lola is an excellent teacher and the towel dress lesson went fast and easy.

I liked it so much, I went to the dollor store to get a couple more towels to get a jump start for xmas! The one I made today is going to my pirate booty swap partner! I sure hope she likes it.

Keep On Stitich'n On!
