Catching Up!

I’ve been really busy since we got back from our cruise!!  First we had our annual local quilt show!

It was fun seeing the quilts and visiting the vendors with my dear bee friends!

I was well behaved and only purchased some gorgeous hand dyed wool pieces!

Our new local quilt shop here in Haymarket- “Oh Sew Persnickety”, is participating in this summer’s Row-By-Row Experience quilting activity.

I designed their Row By Row this year!  Woo hoo!

The theme this summer is water.  Most shops designs are all about the beach and ocean, so we wanted something different!

Our design is simple- four umbrellas in a row.  Three standing in the traditional direction, but one upside down with a little bird perched on the handle.

After I put it all together, it really needed a little something MORE… so I added long tube-like silver beads sewn on randomly by hand.

It was just the right embellishment!

Yogi has finally stopped following us around all the time… and is back to normal!!

  10. Poor little furbabies are so afraid we'll leave again after we get home. My poor Mr. Fang does that for several days after I've been gone--hardly lets me out of his sight! Love your row design.

  12. I hit "Oh Sew Persnickety" on Day 1 of Row by Row and it is, undoubtedly, one of the best shops ever! Your row is great and I hope to have it made by weeks' end.

  13. My daughter and I went "rowing" this week and picked up your row from Oh Sew Persnickety! It's the row we are each working on now. She is learning to quilt with it! Fun design. Thanks! =)
