Picture quilt

Some friends and I have talked a little about picture quilts made for children whose parents are deployed.

A few years back when oldest granddaughter, Amber, went into the Army and was being sent to Germany; I made one for her brother who was only about 2 at the time. I used pictures of her with him and the rest of their family that were taken at her boot camp graduation. He loved it, and I am very pleased with the way it turned out. At the time he was really into trains.

Vacation

Saw some wonderful color yesterday. Unfortunately the best color was in an area where we couldn't pull over. This was a very pretty spot in New York that will be glorious in another week or so. Wish we had more time to spend driving around. The picture with the wonderful color was taken from a covered bridge in New Hampshire.

Tuesday's travels

We traveled around with my cousin on Tuesday and saw a couple covered bridges and lots of fall color. We saw this building and decided to check it out. It is currently condos, but until the mid 70's it was a Catholic women's college. Obviously for the well to do from what we were able to see through the doors. The lobby was amazing.

We followed a lot of roads that led us in different directions. It was a long day on the road, but a lot of fun. Was sorry to have to say goodbye this morning.

Trip East

Stopped in New York on the way to MA. Went to church Sunday morning in a little town. The area around the crucifix was done so beautifully, I had to take a picture of it. The rest of our trip went smoothly and it was wonderful to see my cousin and her husband. More about that later.

Quilt Progress Month 5

I've progressed pretty well this summer, but things will slow down considerably over the winter months. I'm currently on vacation, so no quilting. Today was a long day. We started about 9 this am and finally got into a hotel around 8:30.
