>Howdy!

>Well, good for you w/ the conference. I'd like to hear more
>about that.
>Congrats to the new bride-to-be & her lucky gentleman,
>and to you parents. Trip to Pittsboig, let me check the temps
>before I send a yee-haw for that. <g> September wedding?
>That gives you 2 months to get a quilt finished. Or started, anyway.
>
> I started one for Eli & Erica; it's On Hold for a couple of days
>while I clean & clear a space for all the stuff that lived on the
>countertops. (Installers due tomorrow; first I have to clear
>the c-tops, but first I have to clear a spot in the breakfast room
>to put more stuff, but first I have to move the tall table so there's
>room for that stuff, but first I have to clear off that table to move
>it, but first I put my shoes on in case something falls [not me, I hope]..
>Life is full of But Firsts.)
> Anyway, the kids are getting married in August. In Las Vegas.
>But first <g> they want a pre-wedding reception, since she did buy
>a dress (the first in a long time) she wants everyone to see, and they
>want to have some kind of celebration. So I'm organizing this shindig,
>indoors (hello! it's August!), w/ fajitas and "something nice but not
>fancy"; I suggested a black & silver color scheme, they agreed,
>Erica also wants a cupcake tower instead of a layered wedding cake;
>I can arrange for that, too. And did.
> The plan is: the reception, then a trip to Vegas (hello! in August!),
>married somewhere there, then back home to attend Ozz Fest. & Metallica!!!
>Ozz Fest, in Frisco, Tx., outdoors: In AUGUST!! <g>
>
> The quilt is a blue & black LogCabin Star. I got inspired by a
>red&black LC I saw in a quilt show, sat down w/ the graph paper & colored
>markers and mapped out a plan; cut a bunch of 2" strips, got about 1/3 of
>the blocks made, then this kitchen project came up, immediately followed by
>the reception plans.
> Yesterday's trip to JoAnn's netted <g> about 30 yards of black net
>to go on the tables (net for 99 cents a yard, & a 40% coupon - I love it!),
>and some black 1/4 yd strips for the quilt; that fabric bled like crazy,
>which I kind of expected; it's washed & dried & ready to be cut. Soon....
>Another spool of lavender Gütermann for the current quilting project,
>several friendly J-A employees and clerks, and I was a happy shopper.
> No plans for the Really Big Quilt Show in Houston this year, but if you
>set up a time for dinner, well, why not? Or a shopping trip to
>Old Town Spring in Dec. & a meet-up; we can celebrate the election. <G>

>Good luck, Elizabeth, with your summer & autumn plans.

>R/Sandy - sorry to miss Metallica, but, sheesh: August!
