June and part of July in photos.....

Whew!  It feels like this summer is FLYING by!  I can't believe how many things have come and gone already this year that I have looked forward to!

PHOTO HEAVY POST!!!!!  

You have been warned! LOL

 My quilting friend, Bev, gave me my first lesson on her long arm quilting machine named, Miss Thang!
 Me quilting on Miss Thang!
I was able to celebrate my sis' (cough)th birthday!
I made her this table runner out of drapery fabric remnants using
this "10 Minute Table Runner" tutorial.
Celebrated Father's Day with my dad and family!
Watched my quilting friend Ann, of  Attic Threads put the last few quilting
stitches in "Golden Rings."

 Photos of the backing.....
More pics of this quilt coming soon!

Celebrating my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary!

I cut out my next project, 2500+ pieces!
I wonder what it could be???? 
HMMMMMMMMM?????

I have almost completed all of the memory quilts I was requested to make for my brother-in-law's family.
I will be sharing those, along with the patterns I designed very soon!

The following are some of the quilts I saw (and loved) at the
International Quilt Festival in Chicago!





I love traditional, antique, AND modern quilts!

And finally, I was honored to be invited to judge the 
Miss South Carolina Outstanding Teen Pageant...
with these wonderful people!
What a wonderful judging experience for me!

I hope everyone is having a great summer!  I know I am!
As always,
Thanks for all of the encouragement!

  6. How did you land such a fun gig as a pageant judge? I LOVE the quilting on the Golden Rings quilt! Looking forward to seeing what all those squares turn into. I too love traditional, antique, and modern quilts. It's the variety that keeps things interesting, and we can learn from all of them.
