Busy as a bee 🐝

Another trip.  This time I'm back in California.  My nephew and I flew out last night as he needed to get home and my lovely daughter is having a bridal shower this weekend.  I'm happy and excited to attend.  Her BFF has planned and delegated and I'm certain it will be a wonderful day.  My sisters and nieces and BFF will be there.  But I am very tired from all this traveling.  Still have two more trips a wedding and a reception.... then calm.... hopefully not before the storm.

I finished the wedding quilt.  I sure hope they like it.  It was a lot of work.  The most challenging one I have done.  Curved piecing, on point and mitered borders. Plus the size- a large quilt gets cumbersome to work on as it goes together.  I like the way it turned out.... but.... it never looks like much until it is quilted!  That's when the magic happens!

Right now only half a dozen have seen it... I don't want anyone to slip and show my girl.  Or her to somehow see a picture of it.  It goes to the quilter this weekend.

So I actually put the quilt in my checked luggage on a direct flight.  Last time I came into LAX there were so many delays. Oh boy, I felt so bad for my future SIL because he was there to get me but the flight sat on the tarmac for 40 min then my bag was forever getting off the baggage claim and I was meeting him for the first time. I felt so bad that he had to wait and wait -  So yesterday, we came right into the gate, the last gate right by the stairs to go to the carousel at baggage claim.  My daughter said, "Call me when you get your bag...." well, she called to see how things were going. I told her, "We just got to baggage claim and the bells are going off that it is starting to drop bags.... I'm confident (hopeful) that my bag won't be one of the last off."  BA-BAM!  Who's bag was the first off the carousel! Yes, it was mine.  And we walked outside and got in the car.  That was crazy.  I guess the little things get me jazzed.

So I guess that's about all that's happening.  I think when I get home I'm going to get together with my other BFF and we are going to teach ourselves silk ribbon embroidery.  So I can have some handwork to do on vacations, on a flight, at night or whenever it's not convenient to use a machine.
I may help my daughter do some  mending and alterations.... her fiancé has a pair of Levi's that look as if he somehow managed to evade Wolverine just by the seat of his pants.

Have a lovely day, and a wonderful weekend.  Whatever you do, and wherever you go, share a smile and a kind word or deed.  God bless you!
