Congratulations to your DS & fiance'! You are going to be a very busy lady!

Kathy, congratulations to the happy couple.

My son got engaged over the weekend! He proposed to his girlfriend in front of a famous statue (Sparty) at Michigan State University on Friday night before the game! On one knee! With a ring he picked out himself! And she said yes! They both are grads of MSU so it was the perfect place. I need to start their wedding quilt - Irish Mist - in green. One of their favorite colors since they went to MSU and the school colors are green and white.

I had applique club meeting yesterday and actually took time to work on it BEFORE the meeting. I have also been working on it while watching the U.S. Open. The Federer match from the other night was starting so late I had to record the end of the women's match to see who won that and the men's after that. No way I was staying up that late! I finished watching the women's match last night and little bit of the men's this morning before heading off to work. I also have a quilt on the frame that I am hand quilting and am supposed to be machine quilting the borders for my DD's grad quilt that didn't get done before she left for college. Oops. But she and I changed our minds on the backing and she is giving her input on how she wants the borders done so that was a little bit of a delay. It's kind of nice going home and being able quilt.

And I found out last Friday my part-time job will be going to full time! Good timing since my last child just went off to college and more $$ will help pay for DS's wedding. And since I will then be gettng a paid lunch as opposed to an unpaid lunch like I have now, I hope to get more applique done on my lunch hour! I told my daughter I could maybe even take my sewing machine and set it up in the break room (small-ish office) and get some sewing done, too! She rolled her eyes and said, "Geez, Mom!"
