When Visitors Come Calling

I've been in Cali for almost 19 years, and only retired a few years ago. That meant in my travels while I was working, I scheduled time in Minnesota to see family and friends. Now I return for high school graduation parties for the Grandkids. The last was 2 years ago and the next is this coming June. So people have been coming out here. 

Tehachapi is pretty quiet and 3 hours from LA, from the ocean and from Disneyland. While we visited 2 Pumpkin Patches, we bought them at the local grocery store. 

While company was here during the month of October, I put away quilting projects and now am playing catch up with all the BOM groups I am in.

I just put my head down, printed off the patterns, selected fabric and started cutting, pinning, piecing & pressing. And just when I thought I was caught up, this week's pattern for the MERRY & BRIGHT block was released. The studio was a mess and I knew it had to be re-organized before I got too much farther on the next full quilt project, so time was spent colorizing the scraps. I will do my best to take quilting photos for the next blog posts. For now, know that I am back at it and simply doing 'behind-the-scenes' work.
