It's a Good Day!

The sun shone for part of the day and the temp was around 10C...warm enough to sit out on the deck for a while with my face turned up to that glorious sunshine. It felt sooo good! Most of the week is supposed to be rainy, but at least that will help get rid of the snow...
I have two pieces of good news to share..First, darling daughter Laura has been accepted to the course of her choice- Journalism at the University of her choice- U. of Kings College in Halifax. So she is a very happy girl.... and we are very pleased for her too...
The other bit of good news is for you Crazy Quilters who live in my area- you can now find Stef Francis threads at the River Gallery in Glenwood NB. Yippeeee! This is the shop owned and run by Sande Gunning, located downriver toward Saint John, on Route 102. Glenwood is just a mile or two this side of Brown's Flat. You can go down the old "River Road" (rte. 102), through Gagetown and keep on going, past Oak Point. She is at 7310 Rte. 102. Or you can travel the main highway(#7) to Saint John and take the second exit(#80) for Grand Bay -Westfield. At the flashing red light, proceed straight through, towards Gagetown. River Gallery is roughly 17 km. ahead. Of course Sande carries lots of other goodies too- she has the best stock of Batiks you will find anywhere in the province, also lots of supplies for Sashiko and Rug-Hooking. I am so pleased she is carrying the full line of these threads- they are such wonderful colors. She carries all three weights- the heaviest is similar to a Perle 5, the other two are finer. I LOVE these threads for CQing....
I had a great time in Saint John, teaching a two day CQ class for the Marco Polo Guild. Thanks gals!! Hope you had as much fun as I did!

Piece,
Linda
