Ginny's postcard, Diane's Clinton quilts

Michael and I both had a slow start to the morning on Wednesday (11/1), for me of course, the highlight was SKYPE-ing with Janice for over an hour.  What with one thing and another, I didn’t make it to my studio until the afternoon…and then it was a slow, no energy slog of a little quilting and a little sewing.  Although my congestion seems much better and I am sure I am on the mend, I just had a hard time mustering up any energy for anything quilting related.  I mostly spent the afternoon and evening reading my book and drinking hot chocolate!  Michael had rehearsal in the evening, and I was practically already asleep when he got home at 9:30 PM. 

Although my hydrangeas definitely got clipped by the frost earlier this week, our 9 foot tall rosebush is still producing:  

And I thought you would enjoy Ginny’s postcard for Halloween (she comes up with something new for every holiday!!):

I have 2 other pictures I’ve been keeping in reserve…my friend Diane made and quilted 2 quilts for Clinton school.  She talked to the nurse and we are hoping they will be kept in the nurse's office for visitations by sick kids…aren’t these adorable??  Diane does a LOT of charity quilting for the Charlotte Guild, so I’m really grateful she took the time to support Clinton as well.

Oh….I almost forgot the most important thing!!!!!  Michael spent a lot of Wednesday morning registering us for this:
