Fall leaves

This is my fall quilt I made in 2002. It's machine appliqued and machine quilted (by me)

Crazy Quilt

When I was in Pennyslvania I took a tour of some of the sorounding areas while Tim was at his geology convention. The tour guide told us wives tons of fascinating facts about the towns and their significance in American history. We visited a little town called Ligonier where there was an old fort that had something to do with George Washington (the tour guide read it all so it became quite boring rather quickly). Anyway, we got to shop and I found this beautiful little quilt in an antique shop. The tag said it was made in the 1880's. It's made of silk and velvet and has very few imperfections. I plan to have it appraised.

The trip finally caught up with me and I'm wiped out. Just thought I'd post a couple more pictures of our trip.

Vermont Vacation

We just returned from our FABULOUS fall trip to Vermont. This is something Tim and I have wanted to do our entire married lives (33 years). Tim had a convention to attend in Pittsburg at the beginning of this week so we left a week before and toured Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont and a bit of New Hampshire. The fall foliage was breathtaking. He also took me to a few quilt shops, one of which is a huge shop in Center Harbor, New Hampshire called Keepsake Quilting. You hardcore quilters will know the name. When we got to Pittsburg, we met up with old friends of ours that were our neighbors (and fellow geology grad student) when we lived in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1976-77. We hadn't seen John and Jan in 29 years. We had a great reunion with them and spent hours talking, laughing and reminiscing (also filling each other in on the last 29 years). We missed our kids and grandkids but have been reunited with them now and are glad to be home.
