Quilting & Daylight Savings Time

This past weekend most of the nation went on daylight savings time.  Arizona is the only state that does not go on savings time.  Now that doesn't sound like much, but if you get a call from back East at 9am their time, it is 6am out here.  You would be surprised how many calls we get at 6am in the morning.  Oh, the pain.

Gerry is a member of the CCRV Sewing/Quilting club here at the park and they meet every Tuesday at 10am and do their thing.  With some members leaving for colder climates, it was time to get a group picture of the ladies.  We arrived just as they were assembling for a photo and I managed to get one of the group with my camera.

They donate quilts to the Linus project and sell chances on a very nice quilt to raise money to buy the materials in the quilts.  This year they have 4 quilts as prizes and the largest quilt is a beautiful green one fit for a bedspread. 

 One of the ladies has a new machine that machine embroideries designs on the the quilts.  She is showing off a pretty quilt with butterflies on the quilt.




Tonight was pizza night at CCRV and around 80 people showed up for dinner.  The pizza guy brings in oven and semi prepared pizzas and bakes them 6 at a time.  It is amazing how fast 6 pizzas can disappear when the hungry crowd shows up.  Gerry and I joined in the festivities and managed to stuff ourselves with pizza.  Now we are paying for it.  Oh, my aching stomach.  I have to get away from these all you can eat pizza parties or learn some self control.  The latter is doubtful since I have learned my lesson after all these years.

  1. That nice lady with the pretty flutter byes on her quilt is the director of Linus Project for Tucson. She wanted to learn how to make the quilts so she would understand the work that goes into them.
