stitchers in the wild . . .

The week finally settled down (personally) a bit. Of course, with September here, things at the Camp are in full swing! We had three different groups scheduled over the weekend! The first was a big senior adult group that hadn't been up here in many years.  They invited us to eat with them, so we spent time with that group. The next group was an overnight children's event -- this group frequents the camp, so no hand-holding required.  The third group was . . .
Gals from my Stitcher's Etc. group!! (Doing the obligatory group shot with the Camp MACOBA sign--we're missing a few of our ladies...this was an impromptu stop on our way to check out the cabin.) With one exception, it was the first time any of this group had been to the camp, as well. We had a great time.

We spent the afternoon stitching and talking, while husbands (and one son) fished or talked football. I worked on my pumpkin mug rug while sitting on the pavilion's porch swing . . . 
Gosh, the weather couldn't have been more perfect! I finished the hand quilting, so today's task is to put the binding together and stitch it down.  That'll make for some nice afternoon slow stitching.

My Stitcher's girls can quilt *and* cook!  Todd did a fish fry for us (with hot dogs thrown in for those who don't care for fish) and we feasted!
That's all the angles -- it was a fun group.

I did give tours of the turtle sanctuary, Nook and RV . . .
We found a newborn baby turtle in the sanctuary (the females were very prolific this summer)! Isn't he cute as anything??

And...our group's leader made reservations for our first ever rustic quilter's retreat! That'll be a first for the camp, too!

Linking up with Kathy's Quilts for slow stitching Sunday. Make today a blessing for someone else!

into the swing . . .

Todd and I didn't leave the camp yesterday.  It was a lovely day!  The epitome of a fabulous fall day in North Alabama.  I made short work of laundry and unpacking then packed a picnic lunch for the two of us and we headed to the pond . . . 



'Nuff said, right?  It was the perfect day to sit with your feet dangling off the dock, eating a bologna sandwich.  If you click on the last picture, you might be able to make out the two bream that were heading for the piece of bread I'd tossed in to them!

Today we have some things to take care of around and about town.  Baby June could come any day now ... we've rented our house ... our youth girl's SS teacher has moved and so I'm filling in indefinitely . . . life.  :)

Cute little birthday giveaway going on at Emily's Room -- definitely worth checking out -- especially if you're an embroidery enthusiast!

AND ... don't forget to check out the day's participants in the Wicked hop!!  Some fun, fun stuff being shared!

I hope to play catch up today and tomorrow.  We'll see if I make it!!
