I arrived to much fanfare and picture taking to the 14th annual Thornton Thimblers Quilt Bee. What a fun, fun time we had telling stories, trying to outdo one another with our fabulous food and shopping...and not to forget the main event, the quilting!
The quilt bee is probably my favorite time of year. I love all the laughter and fun that we have. The silliness and showmanship and creativity make for a wonderful time. No responsibilities all us girls to really have a great time. I can hardly wait each year as the bee comes around. I plan and think of gifts and games. Apparently Aunt Carolyn can't wait to sing songs so she writes her own...there are plays which always crack me up...
Next year we're breaking with tradition and coming to Mississippi! I'm honored to host the 15th annual TTQB...but know I won't do nearly as bang up a job as Auntie J...I simply don't have all the bees around to set the ambience...Even so, we'll have a blast as we always do and introduce the young'uns to the bee. No doubt it will BEE delightful.
I'm having trouble uploading the photos into this blog, so they will have to come tomorrow!
