Camping....Cabelas...........

I went and bought a tent and sleeping bags today. My brothers and sister-in-law and me are going camping in two weeks. Once we sell my mom's estate I will be able to get an ATV to ride with them. We are going to Mark Twain National Forest. Can't wait to swim in the Black River.

Quiting Treasurers Trunk Show

Some photos from trunk show from New Berlin, NY quilt show on July 20th.

Purse

This is a photo of a purse I made during a class in March. I love bright colors and batiks.

Bag/Bucket Swap and vacation.

This is the fabric that I bought for my swap partners bag. It is going to be a fall theme. I have about six weeks before I return to work again after Labor Day. We went on a little vacation to New Berlin, NY for a few days and to Atlantic City, NJ. This is a picture of the Preferred Manor where we stayed in New Berlin. It was built in 1831.

Projects

I have purchased three more projects to try and finish this summer. I spend a lot of time hanging at the Quilters Cottage in Allentown, NJ and a lady had brought in her finished projects and one of them was a blue anf yellow quilt. It was fabulous and since I found a kit at Sweet Annies in Troy IL I had to have it. Above is a picture of my red, white and blue quilt from a swap from Quilting around the World group I belong to.

Its summer time and the quilting is easy.....

Finally have reached summer vacation and now I can get some quilting done. Just bought a blue/yellow lap quilt kit yesterday and can't wait to do it. I'm going quilting at church on Thursday to. Had some bad news about possible cancer scare so hopefully that will turn out alright.

It's been awhile

Update, I have started going to the local quilt shop on the weekends to sew and have actually made some progress on projects. I may even teach a class!
