***********************************************************************

*Location: The house number is 14049 Hwy 60, Blue River, WI.

GPS describes it as State Route 60.

Once you get on Hwy 60, if you are coming from Richland Center , it is .7miles or 7/10 of a mile beyond the bp Gas Station on the corner of Hwy 60 and County Route T in Port Andrew. Continue past the gas station on Hwy 60. The driveway is on the left, just past a large patch of trees. The house is set back in behind trees and is not visable from the road. It is across from a gravel pit, and across from Combe Cemetery Road (a very small dirt road).

If you are coming from the Boscobel/Gays Mills direction, it is on Hwy 60 , 1 mile past Clark Realty. The driveway will be on the right. There will be a sign by the driveway the day of sale.

**If you are local and can stop , thanks alot, Patsy

.....doth BLOW !!!!!

Brace yourselves today......they're saying coldest in 10 years!! Wind chills that is .

I sure hope there aren't any robins left around here but I hope the other birds find shelter here in the woods. Bring the dogs inside if they are out!
.......

I did just that this past weekend. Though it wasn't that cold.

I sure enjoyed the laughter around the fireplace! I encourage everyone who is coming during the winter, to bring a hand project to take a break from the sewing machine and gather 'round the hearth.

I sure appreciate the Pot Luck weekends now and again so I can

be a guest in my own retreat. Besides lengthening the patio door drapes, I sort of finished this embroidered piece. I bought the kit because I so loved it, then I take it home and change it. I moved two panels together and downsized the flying geese to surround the scene. It greatly changed the pattern but I never seem to follow one anyway. I like how it turned out. It may hang under the wine glasses someday.

Diane had fun teaching us to make snowflakes ....These are not your ordinary snowflakes!!!

Mine is the bottom one.

Take a closer look..................

Other projects folks shared with us over the weekend.....

So stay warm, grab your favorite beverage, get cozy and put your feet up!

I'm In Print!!! again!!!

.....in a national magazine.........

On page 87 is the article.

Easier to read:

The magazine will be in stores in a few days.

Book stores carry it. A few grocery chains have it too.

Those who subscribe are getting them now. It is the February/March issue.

**It is a well written article stating how we came to be, and how retreats are the new "Quilting Bees". It even includes my website!! The way they wrote it, heck, I even want to go here! So if you're thinking of booking some of the few remaining weekends that are open - might be best to get your name signed up asap. Who knows where this might go?

It is so exciting!!!!

Next I will try to get in a quilt magazine!

Thanks to my friend Susan - this happened.
