I just got back from Busch Gardens/Williamsburg Va.
I had posted that my Granddaughters and I made quilt squares for the 250th anniversary quilt that Colonial Williamsburg was doing for the celebration. We made ours in November and the deadline was November 30th. They extended that to February and ended up with over 800 entries from every state!
They actually made several quilts and laid them out along the streets for people to view then will move them to different visitor centers in Williamsburg. They had some of them displayed by Monday and we went to view them and see if we could find ours.
We found mine and my oldest granddaughter's. Unfortunately, we didn't find the youngest's one and it was her birthday! We knew it was rolled up in the remaining quilts and we'd have to see it another time. :(
Well, when I got home I searched Facebook as they lived streamed the event and there were several views of the quilt out on the streets. Low and behold there it was! So, I sent it to them and said that she was the only one who made Facebook...Happy Birthday! Yay!

oooh they are beautiful..... I'm always in awe of people like you who could make such beautiful things...
 
Well, I didn't do half the things I planned yesterday and didn't get them done today either. :rolleyes: I spent over 5 hours on the phone! My granddaughter called me twice and we stayed on the phone an hour and a half each time. This is significant because in the past, she hardly called us at all being the busy bee she is with college and work. My BFF called and we were on the phone for an hour and a half. Tonight my Honorary Son #3 called and we talked for 41 minutes. I did empty and wash out Deja's litter box and updated the budget-spending spreadsheets for me and my son.
