Scenes of Summer

Hi everyone! How was your summer? Mine was filled with extraordinary moments shared with extraordinary friends, like Wanda Hanson of Exuberant Color, who surprised me with one of her signature batik color-wash quilts. Isn't it stunning? You can read more about it here. 

Of course, visits from quilters are always welcome, especially when they bring "show and tell." Here's Sheila with her Sunflower quilt and me with Wanda's Zig-Zags.

Jenny graced us with fresh-picked basil and cherry tomatoes from her garden. Meanwhile, Jean shared delicious peach cobbler (made with real Georgia peaches) and the best blueberry pie I've ever tasted!

Local troubadour, Bill Glaysher, stopped by to serenade me one day. Swoon!

Which enabling friend helped make this online purchase? I couldn't resist purchasing a few new American Jane fabrics in summer hues.

My friend Bev even volunteered to read aloud to me. If you've never heard To Kill a Mockingbird read by a veteran English teacher, it was absolute bliss! 

There was a charming new quilt book to peruse: The Magic Forest by Gwen Marston.

 

Jim and I even attended a bridal shower hosted by friends Mark and Linda for their daughter and son-in-law to be. What lured us out on a 97-degree day was the promise of mango mimosas and eight different kinds of cake. Believe me, it did not disappoint!

Thanks for all the love, my friends. We certainly made some great memories!
