My Personal UFO Challenge for Memorial Weekend
Posted by Peggy Thompson on May 24, 2013 at 1:31pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Lots of UFO's. I've joined the UFO group and plan on starting the two different challenges in June. However, I'm going to make a personal challenge just for this weekend.

and ready to release some artistic frustration! I gave my notice at work last week, so I will soon be "funemployed" for a while as I hunt for a job that better fits my career goals. I'm hoping to get back into quilting during this time! A cousin and a few close friends are pregnant, so I have a few baby quilts to whip up, and my sister is getting married next summer, so I want to get to work on a wedding quilt. I cracked open a box of fabric last night and started pressing. I'm going to…

I just got back from a wonderful visit with my grandchildren in Georgia. They had an end of the year school picnic where I was the face painter...it was really fun and I did a fabulous job if I do say so myself. Now seeing them is always a joy but this trip there was an added surprise from my aunt I haven't seen in years. Aunt Merci (her 1st hubby was Filipino and could not say Marcy so she had her name changed to the way he said it)..anyway, Aunt Merci had to put her mother in a nursing…
