Getting back into the swing of things

I've been working on getting 2 new patterns ready for release in May, and working on a couple of quilts that have been in progress for some time now.

I also updated the  photo galleries on my website.  I've really neglected it, but soon I'll be back to adding content and tutorial videos regularly.

Today I ventured out to the local quilt shop for the first time... Mes Amis... just a couple blocks from the house.  Terrific shop..wonderful owner ( thanks Denise!); loads of great fabric and friendly people. Bought a few yards and chatted for a while then came home.

Tonight we went out to dinner, to Mr Ed's...a local neighborhood eatery in Bucktown.   I had the jumbo lump crabmeat au gratin, and Don had the fried oysters.  My crab was good, but a little too much cheese...kind of over powered the delicate flavor of the crabmeat.  I sampled Don's oysters and they were fabulous!  Huge and light...a true treat for the palette.   The service was excellent too.   We will definitely go back there.

All in all, a good day!
