Seemed to have hit a wall :/

Not much quilting progress to report on the 30 day challenge - I have one more Lover's Knot quilted, and waiting for binding, probably tonight. If the weekend doesn't get cluttered up with stuff, I should finish another tomorrow.  I won't get anywhere near the 30, but I've got momentum and that is great.  I also had a call for an appointment from a repeat customer while I was gone on my trip - yippee!!

The conference was great!  The travelling went well and luckily our only incident was a flat tire on the trailer, but it happened at the hotel.  So pastor was able to take the tire in to Wal-Mart and get a replacement the next day while we were in services.  It had dry rotted on the sidewall, so we are quite lucky that it didn't blow out on the highway.  The speakers and music were awesome, and it was just really cool to see all those women wearing skirts and big hair.  Sometimes in my day to day life it seems like I'm the only skirt & hair lady I see, it can be lonely.  Just the camaraderie of a large group of ladies was encouraging. It was so amazing to worship with almost a thousand other women in the same place - wow!  And the messages were aimed at women, about being a mom, a leader and the best woman I can be for God.

Above is our group as we headed into Friday night's service  We all had black & white or black & beige on and matched nicely - but it was completely unplanned.  Sister Linda did my hair and I was so pleased, it turned out great!  The pastor's wife is on the far right, and what's funny is, she checked her photos from before and had on a strikingly similar outfit on the last night of the previous conference, LOL!

This is our group in the service Friday night.  Such a lovely bunch of ladies!!

Sister Linda and my pretty hair - I think she has better photos of it on her phone, maybe she can send me one.  I have so very little hair to start with, and I don't know how to work with it at all.  So it was really sweet of her to take some time out of getting herself ready and make my mop pretty ;)

 

 

This was our group at CiCi's Pizza on the way home.  It was a great pizza buffet and we all left stuffed.  I even tried the Pineapple dessert pizza and it was wonderful.  This restaurant is one that they go to each year when they take the school kids to competition.  We drove by the church that hosts the competition too.  They are adding on and it looks amazing from the outside.  The kid will be surprised when they come next year.
