More Quilts

I have pictures of more quilts from the show this past weekend.

Chickens seemed to be a common theme this year.  I took pictures for my chicken raising friends and neighbors.



This one is Hawaiian birds and fruits:


Of course, there were some Christmas quilts:


These were all happy quilts.  They made people smile.

  1. Can you imagine sewing these quilts yourself? I wish I had the talent and especially the patience do something like this!

    1. I can do some simple quilting, but going to a show like this is really quite daunting.

  2. Loved the chicken in various activities the best. The drunk one leaning against the pole cracked me up.
    Wish I had nimble fingers to do such work.

  5. All 3 of those chicken quilts are great -- and very silly! I love it and very different from the usual quilts that are patterned after our grandparents (and theirs) quilts. Thanks for sharing these!

  7. They are all very unusual and different. What a great find and you walked away without a purchase.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all.

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
