I have to say I don't think you were crabby at all! We were VERY glad to have you at our guild and you inspired my friends to go home and make a doll quilt :) KimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-73063625733742631852011-03-03T08:02:20.598-06:002011-03-03T08:02:20.598-06:00Good idea!

I'm one of those annoying people who are NEVER ill, but last year I was while staying at a hotel miles from anywhere. I asked at reception if they had any painkillers, but was told they weren't allowed to give them to guests. Luckily a young man was passing and heard, he kindly gave me some of his. And I always take my own tea bags and snacks!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12502956712451039318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-57418455353121684522011-03-03T02:53:41.587-06:002011-03-03T02:53:41.587-06:00Good for you Kathy, you certainly did pull it all ...Good for you Kathy, you certainly did pull it all together!! i know exactly what you mean by being out of your element/comfort zone, but it does us good to step out of it from time to time doesn't it LOL!!<br />btw i couldn't help but notice that gorgeous scrappy quilt is identical to our siggy blocks, just a tad smaller..LOVE it!!marianhttp://marianedwardsdreamweaver.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-64989085054591723502011-03-02T22:22:52.270-06:002011-03-02T22:22:52.270-06:00Thank you so much for sharing your awful day--real...Thank you so much for sharing your awful day--really. I appreciate it because I've had days like that--different events, but identical feelings! It should make the rest of the week even better. Hope you had a wonderful time in Peoria. (I grew up in ElPaso, 30 mi east of there, and taught for 8 years in Peoria--and had a heck of a time finding other quilters until I decided to teach quilting classes for the Peoria Park District--so in a way, I created my own quilting buddies!)Dora, the Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043451474748191494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-9199141907842284642011-03-02T20:07:54.300-06:002011-03-02T20:07:54.300-06:00Oh Kathy, you crack me up!

Looks like you managed pretty well despite the hiccups, and I'm glad your contact lens was found, such a pain to have to replace!<br />You certainly pulled a nice crowd, hopefully your next lecture won't have so many unwelcome surprises!!!

My husband and I have the same trouble traveling. We now travel with our own<br />"real tea" and an electric tea pot (for HOT water)and of course some cookies to go with it.<br />And yes we are slowing down too and traveling isn't as much fun as it used to be, it is so easy to get cranky. Quilters do take it all in stride. Wish you well in your travels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-71644332545056022722011-03-02T11:38:54.635-06:002011-03-02T11:38:54.635-06:00Yes they do, thank goodness.
