Boy, was this a week!  I was looking forward to a visit with a close friend I hadn’t seen in a while and attending her Spring Quilt Camp.  Surprise!  She lets me know that she had a family emergency and would I host the Quilt Camp for her.  Shock!!  I’ve been to a number and even help out here and there, but ME – Be in CHARGE!  But, of course, I said yes.
