It’s a lot of fun when we have company come. Especially a family with 4 kids that we LOVE!!! The youngest son was asking me about my quilts and we scrolled through the pictures on my computer and he said, “that’s my quilt!” As soon as they got home his younger sister and he had their pictures taken with their quilts … I made these several years ago – before I started blogging. I LOVE that they are still LOVED~
Retreat
I’m on an annual quilt retreat on Camano Island at Over the Rainbow Lodge. It’s a beautiful spot. Some of us were up and caught a beautiful sunrise! However, you’ll just have to take my word for it – the pictures do not do it justice! I will be sharing pictures of all the lovely quilty goodness that is happening.
