Kirby is so squeezable. He would have loved playing with that rotary cutter.

It's such a pleasure to have Father & Mother around.

The Florys.

Mother and a few of her grandaughters.

And lest you think we arn't sewing, here's Barbara working on her velvet comforter.

Barbara, Polly, and I along with a new friend, Linda, enjoyed a trip to Hampton, VA to the 22nd Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival.

This quilt "Wild Flowers" by Sharon L. Schlotzhaur really caught my attention.

I also enjoy this one, "Floating" by Patty Ashworth.

Today we began sewing in ernest. Mother made me another small doll quilt from velvet.

My dear T-fal iron started dripping brown water. So Father came to my rescue and now it works like a charm.

Visit my sister Polly's blog for more of our fellowship.

Here are a few quilts that were shown for "Show & Tell" at our monthly PTQ meeting.

Ralph Idom showed this "Snail's Trail." He has macular degeneration and unfortunately he said he couldn't make quilts any more.

Here is one he made using the "mola" tenique.

CC Coggins made this reversible quilt for their church's nursery.

Carla made this "Whacky Scraps" for the humane society to raffle off.

Linda Dawkins showed this Christmas quilt that her aunt made who also has macular degeneration.

These pictures were taken last summer on our trip out West. The little town of Yellowstone was truly for tourists. Amy & Craig thought they needed a huckleberry experience.

The shops were so inviting with all kinds of souvenirs.

I liked this little outdoor cafe.

This buffalo was very unique

compared to this one that we saw later on.

That water really was hot. Steaming hot!!!

The color of this caldron reminds me of the Caribbean. It was beautiful in color but it did stink. Like sulphur.

Old Faithful has just blown up and is now settling down for this picture.

Please stay on the walk ways as the ground is unstable and the water is hot!!!

Fountain Paint Pots was boiling mud.

And this thistle was beautiful!!!

This picture is from another part of the park.

And then I still have more to show you, later on.

Yesterday at our Possum Town Quilters some of the ladies brought their Star Tricks quilt tops that they made in my sister Barbara's class here a few weeks ago. I was impressed. They all did such a lovely job.

This week I took a picture from Marilyn's site

and made a small quilt of it.

I gave it to her at her little birthday celebration at the Ole Country Bakery.

We all enjoyed the party.

Last Saturday I enjoyed being with other MQA quilters in Jackson. J. J. Foley gave a talk "From Sketch to Quilt" that was quite interesting.

Marilyn Dedeaux told us about self-portrait quilts. These were inspired by a class she took with Yvonne Porcella.

Marilyn Rose showed her kalidescope quilt.

Then, last Wednesday the Noxubee Garden Club came here for their monthly meeting. They asked me to tell about my quilts for their program. What fun I had!!!

 Last summer after entering Montana

we went through Glacier National Park.

The scenery was beautiful.

This reminds me of Switzerland.

They call this the "Weeping Wall."

And I think this picture is around a hairpin curve across from the "Weeping Wall." I liked the open top sightseeing vehicles.

We saw a few big horn sheep right on the edge of the cliffs with no fear of falling.

Heading up to Logan Pass.

I felt like we were "On top of the World."

Can you see the people skiing way up the mountain?

And to think, this was July.

I thought Glacier was one of the most beautiful parks; but then we saw so many beautiful parks. And each one was so pretty in it's own unique way.

Last Friday evening we had our 27th Annual Pancake & Sausage Supper as a fund raiser for the school. Here's the gym, ready for guests.

Visit Sheila's site to see the gym full of guests with a long line waiting.

Louise S. mixes up pancake batter.

Rosalie  & Renae served coffee and hot chocolate.

Dennis & Vi sat at the "Welcome" table.

The pancake flippers here are ready to start.

And here they are frying as fast as they can.

Paul & I helped serve water and sweet tea.

Some guests from SC, Kristi and Marcia helped Karla fry and make "Pigs in a Blanket."

Our first guests for the evening are Maynard & Mary Borntrager. They faithfully come every year and are usually the first ones there.

Levi & Elmina assist Kathryn in mixing more pancake batter.

Ben & Krisa helped with making the drinks.

John & Cheryl helped serve sweet tea and water.

Here's the refill table manned by some young fellows.

And then there are lots and lots of others, too numerous to mention that work, and work hard to make it all happen; and then to clean up when everyone is full.

It was such a pleasure to have Father & Mother come with Barbara over last weekend.

After Barbara's picture turned out so good I wanted my picture taken with Father & Mother too.

Father made sure that Barbara fried the meat just right for the group of ladies that came to sew.

Mother peeled lots of potatoes for Gourmet Potatoes and lots of apples for Apple Crisp.

On Friday I took Mother & Barbara to the Macon Welcome Center and met Sylvia Miller and her daughter Thelma there to view the exhibit of Sylvia's paintings. We ate lunch with them at Mi Ranchito.

Father chose to stay home. Here he is reading the Sword & Trumpet.

Sheila's sister Kara came along from Virginia for a sisterly visit for the weekend.

On Friday afternoon I took Mother & Barbara over to Quintens to help quilt a little on Evie's quilt.

They also helped put stitches in Ashton's quilt.

I hope I didn't work them too hard!!!
