I diligently packed my camera, and took the nicest photo yesterday morning of the full classroom, with all the bright wide-awake quilters, and VERY neat tables. Then, a bit later in the day the photo of how it looked shortly after we started. Back in my room last night, and DRATS! I failed to pack the download cable. Searched every nook and cranny on my aging laptop – there’s definitely not a card reader built in . . . . I simply cannot post the wonderful before and after photos! Double DRATS!

We’re in a 2 day Mystery, so none of my photos from today will ever make it on line – I wouldn’t spoil the mystery for anyone else.

So, words will need to do the story here.  It’s sort of an ‘old home’ class.  From my years of living in Durango, Arizona is a close neighbor.  Several here have been with me in retreats in Colorado and New Mexico over the years.  We’re having a great visit.  There are also two quilters from Kansas, both living quite near where I grew up.  I most certainly knew where they were from.  It’s a terrific group of quilters (of course! they ARE quilters . . .) and we’re having fun with the Hoagy Carmichael mystery.
