HARRY POTTER NIGHT

Last night the Main Street of my little town shut down from 9:00-Midnight for Harry Potter Night. It was a lot of fun! They had all kinds of Harry Potter games and crafts set up for the kids. My son works at the bookstore on Main Street and he agreed to read Tarot Cards and tell people's fortunes. It was all in good fun and he had a long line at his booth the entire evening. At Midnight he even had to turn people away. The young lady in the photo having her cards read(who looks to me like she is quite impressed with his reading) is my daughter, Kate. Kyle's good friend, Maureen, did Palm Reading. Aren't their costume's great? They bought them at the Salvation Army for a few bucks each!

STUDIO

We love seeing photos of quilter's studios and thought it would be nice to share ours. These two photos are different views of Ann's sewing table, cutting table and design wall. Ann shares her studio/office with her husband who works out of the home about 4 days a week. You can click on each photo to get a close-up view.
