You may make payments toward the cost of $140.00 and the final payment is due 3/3/15. Scholarships are available :-). Currently there are 10 BB registered and we need a minimum of 25 to cover the cost of the retreat center. We are going to play Fat Quarter Bingo (Kelley) and BUNCO (Rosemarie). We will also have door prize drawings so gather your 'treasures' that you would like to send to a loving home and bring them to share. Some ideas are extra sewing needles, fabric, books, candles, kitchen gadgets, etc. Kelley posted the information about Retreat on Facebook but she will post it again. </span><span class="s4" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14px;">Oh-oh, Shirley is checking to see if we can set up massages again this year … aaaa.</span></div>

So many others don't have that blessing at the moment. And my prayers go out to them. That's why, as a group, we collected non-perishable foods, hats, gloves, scarves, quilts and blankets to donate to our local charity for the less fortunate. It was a warm and fuzzy moment to be able to unload my van to drop everything off. I was so proud of my Busy Bees Quilt Group for their generosity and hearts for giving.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Thanks busy bees for your kind hearts!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Happy Thanksgiving!!!</div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10111964153544399108noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1552046238367289272.post-89054570791267224412010-11-16T09:33:00.000-08:002010-11-16T09:39:33.712-08:00Naughty or Nice?<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aBv22KNnYxo/TOLA7jM91xI/AAAAAAAAAjU/nlrGD5JQx6I/s1600/annacas_cupcakeProvocateur_logo-2.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 189px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540202620913571602" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aBv22KNnYxo/TOLA7jM91xI/AAAAAAAAAjU/nlrGD5JQx6I/s320/annacas_cupcakeProvocateur_logo-2.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Check out this fun blog of the season's smokin' hot aprons. You would only need to accessorize with fishnet stocking, high heels and a string of pearls while serving up your own favorite piping hot holiday dishes to your guests. Holy Smokes! How much more fun can a girl have? If we are going to be a slave to the kitchen, why not add a little spice... and I don't mean pumkin spice.</div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10111964153544399108noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1552046238367289272.post-58035520736684955402010-11-01T14:12:00.000-07:002010-11-01T14:22:47.366-07:00November 2010I can't believe we are in the middle of the holiday season already! I am still feeling quite ripped off by not having much of a summer. So now it's time to really gear up for holiday sewing. I've got so many projects right now, I almost don't know where to start. It's overwhelming. I opened up a few boxes of my holiday stash of fabrics and supplies, and it's amazing how many unfinished projects I intended to make for folks but never finished. I must have half a dozen half-made projects I could give out for Christmas this year because I didn't have time to complete them all in years past...the holidays are such a busy time of year.<br /><br />I'm excited to begin the new apron swap with Flirty Apron Swaps, <a href="http://www.flirtyapronswaps.blogspot.com/">www.flirtyapronswaps.blogspot.com</a>. I love wearing gorgeous aprons as I'm serving up my gourmet feast during Christmas. It's so nice to NOT look like I've literally slaved over a hot oven for the previous 12 hours. lol<br /><br />Our quilt group has been doing so many fun projects and activities this fall.<br /><br />11/2/2010 we begin our lighted quilted Christmas wreath wall hanging project.<br /><br />I better quit writing and get to work!<br /><br />From one Busy Bee to another, toodles.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10111964153544399108noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1552046238367289272.post-76292420192229517422010-07-17T23:36:00.000-07:002010-07-17T23:40:23.917-07:00Fun in the SunFriendly Reminder: We will be meeting this Wednesday at 7 pm @ Crossroads Cafe.<br /><br />We have a new meeting location at Clackamas Bible Church on Johnson Rd, Clackamas.

Our little swarm hung out at a new hive for the weekend. We ate til we were so stuffed we couldn't breathe (well, at least I did!) There never seems to be a lack of food at retreats. And everyone's unique recipes are so great. We sewed our little hearts out - some definitely sewed more than others. Frankly, I got lots of cutting and prep work done, but not a whole lot of actual sewing on my own machine. Other's worked on hand quilting and hand sewing bindings, others were cranking out the production like there was no tomorrow. On Saturday, we went to the local Latimer Textiles and Quilt Museum for a private showing of some historical quilts. A big shout out to Ronnaa for coordinating this for our group. (You ROCK Ronna!) All in all it was a lot of fun. I am posting some pics for today for your enjoyment as evidence of a great time. I will be getting a few more pics posted later this week as I receive them from others in our group who also brought cameras and took a few fun pics throughout our fun weekend get away.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10111964153544399108noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1552046238367289272.post-81159098404805178712010-04-28T16:21:00.001-07:002010-04-28T16:22:53.472-07:00My Newest Creation!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aBv22KNnYxo/S9jDN59dfgI/AAAAAAAAAek/EHIyulcJY9Y/s1600/amy+apron+Side+Profile.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aBv22KNnYxo/S9jDN59dfgI/AAAAAAAAAek/EHIyulcJY9Y/s320/amy+apron+Side+Profile.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465332791478418946" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aBv22KNnYxo/S9jDNV38oSI/AAAAAAAAAec/AhTux8kHDOg/s1600/amy+apron+Front+View.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aBv22KNnYxo/S9jDNV38oSI/AAAAAAAAAec/AhTux8kHDOg/s320/amy+apron+Front+View.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465332781791617314" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBv22KNnYxo/S9jDM7CgneI/AAAAAAAAAeU/-AstPGn-WKc/s1600/amy+apron+package.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBv22KNnYxo/S9jDM7CgneI/AAAAAAAAAeU/-AstPGn-WKc/s320/amy+apron+package.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465332774588161506" /></a><br />I originally created this work of art NOT to be an apron. But when I heard about the newest apron swap Shawnee was hosting in the theme of polk-a-dots, I just HAD to work this in! So I bought some coordinating polk-a-dot fabric and voilá! A sassy little apron was born. The pattern in the body of the apron is actually a quilt pattern known as 9-patch toss. I "tossed" it into an apron for some lucky swapper. I hope she loves it. It was fun to make!Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10111964153544399108noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1552046238367289272.post-63285754293846113592010-04-12T13:05:00.000-07:002010-04-12T13:06:36.944-07:00Quilt Retreat Weekend of April 30Hi Girls!<br /> <br />I know that we are all very excited about retreat coming up weekend of April 30 - May 1.

Birds are tweeting, BEES are buzzing and flowers are popping up all over the place. I absolutely love this time of year. And April starts off with a bang with Easter. It feels to EARLY to be Easter already. Can it really BEE? We have lots of fun activities in store for the month of April.
