Summer Snapshots

Unfortunately there were many special moments (and people) not included in this photo collage.  Often we didn't have our cameras readily available, or we were working hard and not thinking about taking pictures, or we were hardly working and fatigued beyond measure.  We're thankful for the visual reminders we do have!

 Who would have thought that on the very day quilting queen Eleanor Burns visited SEW BIZ in Marion, IN I would be at Erika's and able to attend a Book Signing Party?!  (Erika forced me!)  Eleanor was in Marion for her induction into the Quilters Hall of Fame which is, amazingly enough, in Marion!.

A quick trip to visit the Greensboro Gang

After enjoying a "traditional" coffee and cake time, we walked the dogs!  Not an everyday experience for me!

Arrived at Elizabeth's and Daniel's for the evening meal

The meal was a joint effort, but Elizabeth rocked the kitchen!

Daniel consulting in pillow choice options

Hard to decide!
