Went To A Longarm Shower!

Yeap you read that right!

Inge invited a few quilters for a lunch to celebrate the arrival of her Longarm! 

Here is the invitation

Here is my card for Grace and Mommy Inge

Inside the card I wrote:
Welcome Grace, What a lovely delivery you are. I know you will keep mommy and sometimes daddy up at night. You will sometimes be frustrating, but like anyhthing else it takes practice. Thread is like diapers--you need to try several kinds to see what works. I know you will grow with mommy and make beautiful things.
Love,
Aunt Helen

Inside the bag is a Longarm book along with several brands of thread.
And of course a bottle for Inge, to put wine in for those late night feedings!

Funny how we are blocking the new additon.
But you know how it is all about the quilters!

Inge served us a delicious homemade lunch and dessert.

The view of her garden and backyeard was beautiful!

Inge set up a additonal table to seat all of us. Which I am sure she made the mosiac tile table, with lilacs from her garden and pretty darn sure the greens and fresh herb
dressing comes from her garden too.

Inge (our host) is sitting in the white pants and black shirt.
Her home is like a art gallery and she & her husband also are incrediably
talented watercolor and oil artists..

What Caught My Eye!

Miniture rose in the backyard


A few things that caught my eye this week...........

Hopefully someday I will be able to make these fun Fabric Gift Bags from my stash! There is a video to follow along with!

How do they get so much done????  Well here is a something I do with  23 minutes. I have been doing this for a few years and it REALLY WORKS!

Love this three ingredient grilled chicken recipe from "Pinch Of Yum" . Don't you just love the blog name?

Some magical power just knew I was looking for this List. This came just in time for those summer days on the beach or on the back deck. Wahoo!

Chrissie D has a great tutorial on how to clean your rotary matt. Mine is starting to look a bit shabby.

Till We Quilt Again,

Things Just Happen!

Am I behind or not?

I guess it is the way you look at.

I was hoping to have this pieced and quilted by now to meet the July deadline.

I was a bit over zealous!

So I have altered my goal for the ALYOF's 

This month is having it pieced and Junes is to have it quilted.

 Not sure if this is legal with ALYOF.

If not I guess I am a Outlaw!

Lovely Blog Award

Judy at Quilt Paradigm nominated me for the "One Lovely Blog Award". With so many great blogs, it was so nice of her to pick me as one of her favorites to share. As so many of us blogettes do--we create connections with other bloggers and Judy's creativness always has me locked in! If you have not been to her blog--please do--always something to see!

The photos are some things I have made or quilted.

We are to share 7 things about ourselves that you may not know and link 10 bloggers that we feel are "Must Reads and Follows".



7 Things!

1. My real life job has been operating and running a campground on the Jersey coast for the past 32 years! 

2. I have been working with my husband ever since I have meet him 33 years ago. And it works out great for us!

3.We have 2 sons. One is self-employeed and the other is a helicoptor flight instructor.

4.)  Our business is seasonal, which allows a nice portion of the year to quilt--ALLOT!

5.) My mother kindly nudged me to a quilting class 24 years ago and we both were hooked. Love that we can share this together!

6.) I currently am President of our local quilt guild and am a member of a Modern guild as well.

7.) May favorite part of making a quilt is the Quilting! 

Here are my "Must Read" blogs that I never miss!
