Down To The Last Minute!

What fun it was to walk out to the back porch yesterday morning and find folks in a mad game of left, right, center playing for Fat-Quarters!

First thing in the morning!

What a great way to enjoy the cool of the day surrounded by birdsong.

Who says that games only have to happen at night?

The stakes are high!

Roll, baby roll!

And who wins the pot??

All of this makes the discovery of triangles turned wrong bearable.

Why is it we don’t notice things until we get up, walk away for a while, and come back? Do you see it?

Good thing the seam ripper was handy and things are now set right.

Beautiful appliqued Christmas stocking on the design wall.

Some woolly pincushions are underway here.

And there is always time for a bit of EPP stitching!

And just look at this over the porch rail display!

A plethora of runners and small trhings!

One block wonder and 2 completed Gravity sections

I love the greens in the crumb/crazy quilt!

There is some beautiful EPP hexie rosettes made on retreat, and a completed 3 yard quilt top!

Stars & More Stars!

Bricks and squares and One Block Wonders!

And this completion that didn’t make it over the porch rail, but was oh, so close!

And just like that, our week draws to a close!

I love these faces!

Thanks for coming again ladies, it was wonderful to have you return. We’ll see you back again next July!

Look what showed up in my mailbox today! We are heading to Germany, Switzerland, and France in September with Craftours!

This tour is full, but come join me on my trip back to Bavaria and Austria for the Christmas markets right after Thanksgiving!

We are also heading to Morocco in January and I can’t wait!

This morning on the cabin porch in my hickory rocker with my favorite mug of coffee and an Ivy Lea in my lap,
It’s Tuesday – which must mean abundant laundry and flipping of the house to get it ready for the August Quiltvillians arriving tomorrow afternoon.
August already??!? Oh my word. I’m not ready.
