Summer time and.....

Oh my goodness... it's been so long since I have written...too many things going on... places to go, people to see, things to do. One of the first events this summer was Slug Soup - a local summer art camp as they say "Art for Young People with Uniques Tastes"

                                           
I had a bunch of wonderful youngsters in two classes. Calligraphy and quilting were our subjects of study. 
What an adventure we had. 
Working with these children was a pure joy!


On Memorial Day Week-end we attended a 
family wedding in Seattle and were happy to add 
a lovely young lady to the family.


The rest of the summer has been spent on Road Trips in our little TR6. A surprise trip for me was to the Oregon Caves and a night at the Chateau there. The next day was a visit to the gracious Magnolia Inn B&B in Jacksonville. Since then the little car has gotten an all new brake system and we are ready for the car show in Tacoma.


In my spare time I've been quilting up a storm. These two quilts were entered into the Tillamook County Fair by their owners. The first was the beautiful "Words to Live By" pieced and appliqued by Gail DesJarlais and the other was the bright pastel quilt piced by Karen Downs. My customers give me the most beautiful quilts to quilt! 


Both took home ribbons. Congratulations ladies!

The next big event is the NVA show in Pacific City.
Saturday & Sunday August 23 -24, 10-5pm
Come see us at the Kiwanda Community Center 
for great local art and artists and my friends.
