Left Murph in the truck this am while I went to the pool. Cleaned up over there, since I was attending the Sewing Club meeting today. My Alberta neighbors were sitting near the pool having coffee. Sat down a while and chatted with them. 3 Dudes Quilting were the guest speakers today. 2 dudes went to a quilting class at another shop and decided they needed to open a quilt shop. 3 years later they were in business and have been open a year now. all 3 dudes quilt. 2 stay at the store; the 3rd dude stays home to make fresh cookies for the store every day (about 4-5 kinds!), takes care of their poodle business and has dinner on the table when the others come home at night. He was promoting 1 block quilts and how different they look with different fabrics and how they're set together. Every 2 mo. they have a challenge block. you pay $2 for 2 pieces of fabric. Use your stash and creativity to make a 12 1/2 " block. Customers pick their favorite. That person gets to choose the charity that the quilt goes to when completed. He also talked about the importance of having quilts appraised.
Bit more sewing on my project. Off to the doggie park-just let him run and chase birds. Found a different place to get my fingers done again. Was thinking a burger sounded good for supper. Looked up Culvers in the phone book and took a trip over there. There's now 2 open in AZ and 2 more in planning. Told the gal I was from WI, where Culvers is from. She agreed, that she knew that. There are so many people from WI who come in here, she said.
