Well, we finished the last of the turkey today in a wonderful turkey/sausage gumbo made by our son-in-law, the 'rajin cajun' from Lafayette LA. We're quickly moving into the Christmas mode, but first we have to finish our newsletter for December, due in the next few days.

New kits to start the new year include - 'Blessings Baskets', 'Evening Mist Circle-ated', 'It's a Crock' and 'Yellow Brick Road'.

We're still taking reservations for our 'Civil War Tribute' Block of the Month project starting in January.

A new wool 'block of the month' will be introduced as well as a 'punch of the month'.

Be sure to check out our website where details will be annouced soon! www.auntiejusquiltshoppe.com

West Palm Beach Quilt Show

The sun breaks through.....

Remnants of Ida, near Savannah GA...

Today's travel was a challenge. Rain - anything from mist to near torrential rain all the way from Wilmington NC to Savannah GA. We're in Ormond Beach tonight and all is clear. Up early in the morning and on to West Palm Beach to set up for the show this weekend.

More later,

ON THE ROAD AGAIN

We're getting ready to hit the road again, this time to new territory, South Florida. I hope we don't arrive the same time as 'Ida'!! Along with vending at a quilt show we hope to have a nice visit with a nephew and his wife who live in the area.

Our own Pepper Cory (also a North Carolinian) will be one of the teachers at the World Quilt Show in West Palm Beach. Hope I have the opportunity to meet her! We'll be in booth #213, so come by and see us if you're in the area. There will be over 400 quilts from 10 countries on display, many workshops and lectures delivered by world renowned teachers, a large merchants mall and many other outstanding exhibitions.

We will arrive Thursday morning and set-up for the show starting at 10am on Friday until 7pm - same hours in Saturday and on Sunday from 10am to 5pm.

Will talk to you more 'on the road',

P.S. I'm listening to NPR on this 20 year anniversary date of the 'fall of the Berlin Wall'. The interviews with folks who were there on that day are most interesting.

115 quilts

We are so proud of our quilt ladies at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Wilmington NC. This picture shows 115 quilts draped over all the pews and choir lofts in our church this morning. The quilts were made by a group of 10 ladies who meet twice a week each week of the year. They will be sent to Lutheran World Relief who will distribute the quilts to people in need all over the world. Great job ladies!
