Happy Valentine's Day...and Galantine's Day Too!

The traditional Valentine's Day celebrated today is a great way to spread love and kindness to our love ones near and far. But don't you wish we can spread that whopping combination everyday? What a better world we would all live in if we can try to celebrate all that love on a daily basis. It's like keeping Christmas in your heart all year long.

My quilt guild's February retreat began this afternoon, and sew, the celebration is now "Galantine's Day" with my quilt buddies. The weather is cool here on the West River in Maryland, but the bright sunshine makes it all tolerable (and this is typically the weekend we get a blizzard or two).

Looking forward to keeping my head down, sewing all day and all night, listening in on the conversations pinging around the room (adding when I can to a story...or not), laughing at all the jokes (inside ones or not), and all the advise on quilts, fabrics, patterns, and everyday life. I think we cover it all by the weekend's end.

BSoleille! My view for the weekend below.
