Quilt show finale

Wow, I’m not to be trusted with blogging, am I?   Time just seems to get completely away from me.   So, I’m just going to finish up with a few of my favorite quilts and be done with the show!  Winking smile

A storm

We had a huge thunder/lightening storm pass through here on Wednesday. I really don’t like lightening AT. ALL. I think it goes back to my childhood when we were stationed as a military family in Leavenworth, KS. I used to hide in the closet during them. I’m often tempted to hide in the closet during them now.

So, anyway, you’ve heard all the warnings about not being in the water during a storm? Well, it looks like these little guys listened to those warnings.

During the power outage, Mr. CnW and I went out on the front porch and what did we see?

Geese 001

12 geese marching down the middle of the street.

Geese 004

Geese 005

They then formed a single file line with the largest in front (assuming that’s Daddy) and the next to the largest bringing up the rear (Mommy?). Geese 006

I have to say that it certainly took my mind off the storm for a brief moment. So cute.

For all you people in the path of Irene, please stay safe!

Hugs, Anne

Quilt Show part 3

This time I scheduled the posting date before I even started writing so that I didn’t have 3 big posts in one day.  LOL

Kim Diehl came to the guild and did a workshop last May.  These are the finished quilts from the class.

The shadows sure aren’t good for picture taking.

A group of book club ladies did their interpretations of “On the Divinity of Second Chances”.

The next group is the guild’s challenge quilts.   The theme was “What Women Love”

Quilt Show part 2

(Darn....I hit publish instead of scheduling this for tomorrow. Oh well, I guess it doesn't really matter, huh?)

I think this may end up to be a 3 or 4 part show. Hope you’re enjoying it.

A dresden plate has been on my “to do” list for awhile.

I may have to move it higher on that list.
