Special Weekend Visitors
Grandson Seth and his wife,Wendy, came to visit us this weekend. What a delightful time we had. It was a good time to forget ailments and just to relax and visit on a broad spectrum of subjects. What a joyful couple this is, and we were so happy to have them here. Seth brings serious thoughts, as well as a dry wit, and Wendy brings extra warmth and happiness. The smiles tell it all.

Quilts to Show.
Rainbows - Exactly how I feel about quilting - or expressing myself in any art venue. So these are some of the best quilts from our local quilt show. (Louise, these are for you.)
This wonderful hand-appliqued and embroidered top was one of my favorites. Unfortunately, the picture of the whole quilt didn't turn out, but these details give you an idea of the wonderful talent Leslie Bergesen has.
Another detail of the quilt - animals and plants along with the houses.
Houses and trees - dogs and cats. See why I love this quilt.
This quilt was in a place where I couldn't take a picture of the whole quilt. The quilt was composed of individual small blocks, all hand appliquéd. And the quilting was superb.
The quilt below was made by my friend DeAnne from Franklin. She and her sister each made this quilt. They first made the medallion in the center, with the trapunto, appliqués and pieced triangles, and skewed squares. Then they decided to put appliqués on the final border. The result is a very beautiful quilt.
