Greetings Dear Friends!
I have returned from a wonderful 2 week vacation!
In that time I was blessed to be able to see my parents and
my brother and his family in Louisville. Spend Christmas Eve with my sister and her hubby.
And Christmas Day with my two precious daughters and their family!
Sandy and Carle had driven in from Indy and it was so wonderful to see my two girls together again! Of course I must say I was beyond thrilled to get to see my two grandsons come down the stairs on Christmas morning!
My vacation was pure joy!

Greetings and Merry Christmas to ALL!

A few more photos

Hi again!
Here are a few more photos from the "Artistry of Quilts "


Here I am with artist, Liama.



This is a close up view of one of her pieces.


This piece- "Northern Lights" is one of my favorite pieces by Liama

This beautiful quilt by Christine (Hopkington MA)
Has a wonderful 3d window effect.


Here is a quilt by Chris from Holden.
I need to get a shot of the backing from this quilt.
It is such a totally different fabric print from anything I have seen!

Is this beautiful or what???

Alica from Holden created this one. I hear she collected fabric from all her travels
to create this lovely garden.

Love the color contrasts in this one

by Donna from Holden.

That's it for today

I hope you are enjoying the quilt exhibit
as much as I am enjoying
sharing it with you!

Wicked Cold!

Hello!

Yes, it is Wicked Cold here in New England !

My new puppy doesn't seem to really mind the cold snap.

But, when it rains forget it....I have to carry her outside.

She just will not tolerate the wetness. Now, I wonder how she will

do once the snow falls?

I have been trying to take photos of her but they just come out

like a little black blob. If I'm lucky her eyes glow red!

She is just so adorable I want to share her with the world! hee hee

I am running late this morning so Im dashing out the door after I write this.

The "Artistry of Quilts " was very well received!!! Everyone who comes in is

awestruck! No one more than my students!!!

Hang in there and I will return with some close up views.

have a great morning all!

Keep warm!
