2019 Instagram Top Nine
Every single one of these remain works in progress!
So my 2020 quilting agenda is already set - finish the above!!
The summer brought a number of animals into the back yard,
the most memorable...
a momma Red Fox hunting for her babies
and the beautiful doe with her cute twins!
August was the month of change...
helping my daughter move from Kingsville Tx to Houston Tx
cute little apartment
filled with Ikea furniture!
and my Horseshoe Crab & Sand Dollars Quilt
hangs in her bedroom!
August also gave me the thrill of having one of my quilts included in the
New England Quilt Museum's Summer Celebration.
It's a Goosebump Honor!
The New England Quilt Museum had an instillation
(that I got to help hang!!!) of my favorite quilter...
Sue Garman.
She was an exquisite appliquer,
these are just a few of my favorites....

Westpond Inn Retreat
Had the pleasure of attend Two! retreats at the Westpond Inn
The Stitch Sisters had their retreat in October and
the Twisted Dresden's in November!!
This is the most relaxing retreat space ...
mostly because it's limited to a small group
and Sue Loring is a Fabulous cook and makes to worlds
best breakfasts and dinners for us!!

My Raven's quilt is coming along!
Trying my hand with wool!
While in Houston I stumbled upon a beautiful quilt
by Wendy Williams of Flying Fish Kits of Australia
it's made with wool accents...
with the purchase of the BOM, some wool
and my added taupes and Kaffe fabrics
the journey began!
Two blocks done ... 50 more to go!!!
My 2019 Temperature Quilt
is almost done!!!
In the midst of appliquéing December!!
Already planning the design for 2020 ~
Think I'll keep the same color scheme.
the pie shape the the high temp for the day and
the background is the low temp...
rainy days have a gray rim and the white rim is for snowy days!
Christmas 2019
After 35 years we purchased a new pre-lite tree
slim Norway Spruce with both colored and clear lights...
best part it turns off/on by remote!!!
Hubby was happy - saved him 3+ hours of set up time
not having to string the lights!
