In the Sandlot Brewery aging room @ Coors Field, April 2002 |
In Arkansas, 4/2002. We surprised Dad & Ev for Dad's 80th birthday. |
Many years ago, Dutch Elm Disease affected many trees in Luck, WI.
The diseased elms were replaced with maple trees along Park Avenue. These maples made for a very colorful drive down the avenue each fall.
I snapped these photos in 2015.
I am safely home after a very fun weekend of sewing at Quilt Camp.
The weather was perfect. I had a lake view room this time.
I am only in my room to sleep, but took a few photos on the first morning before getting to the sewing machine.
I wasn't as organized for camp this time. That feeling filtered through my sewing as well. I made so many foolish errors it was not even funny. Luckily, most sewing can be undone and fixed. I did throw away one wallet panel because I could not live with the poorly installed zipper.
I finally finished up my Dresden Plate turkey wall hanging. This project reminded me why I do not quilt my own projects.
I also made 2 graduation gifts.
A small card holder and standard wallet makes a set. |
I'm so happy to have these completed. Graduation is coming fast.
This session of quilt camp was very fun. I would say that this was the friendliest group of seamers that we have ever sewed with.
My drive was uneventful and it was nice to get home to see Barley.
I'm already looking forward to October. Hopefully I'll be more organized.
I spent the day in the sewing room tidying up & planning my projects for quilt camp. Quilt Camp starts on Friday. My project list includes 3 graduation gifts, a wedding present & whatever else I can think up.
I also want to be able to teach others how to make a fabric ball, so I made my prototype today.
Not my best sewing, but you get the idea.
A fabric sleeve with a balloon inside. Clever & cute and quick to make, a perfect quilt camp project.
More on that later.

I have been asked to teach a class on making Danish woven heart baskets. A local Winery wants to offer wine, cheese & scissor work for an evening. I agreed to give it a try.
More on that later.
