This week the girls do a retreat recap and talk about the Quilting Olympics. They started a new trend and now they are coming up with ways to dominate in the next Olympics! They talk about all the things from retreat food to projects that got completed (and didn't get completed). They talk pre-wound bobbins. This is a thing, y'all! Christmas Quilt Sew-A-Long is right around the corner and the girls are getting prepared. They don't have kits in yet, but they should be coming any day. 
Sit back, enjoy and get a giggle or two going. You won't regret it!

This week the girls chat about so many random things that it is impossible to even describe it. It's a hodgepodge of epic proportions. Ranging from talking about the Home Run Derby National Anthem to their favorite block size. They are all over the place this week and are doing their best to keep PJ under control since Carson (Jon) is out and not home to wrangle the pup. They talk about David Letterman, Richard Simmons, Sweatin' to The Oldies, and even sourdough bread (when you lose your sew-jo, you go to sourdough!). Time to sit back and giggle your head off. Enjoy!
