What I worked on while on vacation

apron block

detail of embroidery on pocket

Isn't this super cute? It is the first block of a quilt called Grandma's Kitchen, by Lori Holt of Bee in my Bonnet. I love love love this quilt. I am doing it in 30's and 50's conversation prints and colors. It is all hand applique using the needle turn method. There is plenty of hand stitchery to keep me happy too! I just adore this project!

Autumn Splendor-a new pillow design!

Here is a little sneak peek of my new stitchery pillow, a companion to the Summer Glory pillow. What do you think so far?

Back from vacation!

Wow we did a lot of stuff in the last 2 weeks, from Niagara Falls to the Football Hall of Fame, we drove all over upstate New York, Massachusetts and back through Ohio to Indiana for a basketball tournament for Aidan. Whew! The best part was our 5 day stay in Gloucester,Ma. where we stayed at an Inn on the ocean-so beautiful! We noodled all over Cape Ann and did some antiquing-what fun! There was a sad lack of quilt shops though, I must say! We also visited a lot of shrines, Our Lady of Fatima shrine in New York being one of our favorites. I am definitely refreshed and ready to get back to work-though I am still steadfastly denying the approach of "back to school"!!!

Niagara Falls from the US side

St. Anthony-the most decorated statue out of the hundreds at this shrine! He's my guy!

Aidan and Chelsea goofing around in Essex. We had such a fun time antiquing together!

VACATION!!!
I will be out of town from Monday, July 19 to Sunday July 31, 2010. I will be happy to answer any and all correspondence when I return on Monday, Aug.1. Thank you!

Fun day at the Fair!

First we looked at the sheep

 Here is a recently sheered sheep wearing his protective pajamas! Talk about a Snuggi!

 Then we spent some time with the goats. I just love goats. They are so friendly. This little darling here is the sweetest goat in the whole fair! She was just full of love for us!

Next it was on to the poultry barn, where I was able to indulge myself looking at all of the breeds I hope to one day own. I adore chickens and hope to have my own layers someday!

 I really liked this Roo! I wish I could have gotten a better picture of him, but he wouldn't stop his crazy dinosaur dance!

 

This sweet little calf is so pretty! And I am in LOVE with Jersey cows! They are beautiful, soft, gentle and affectionate! Oh I want...I want...!!
