Summer is not over yet ......

We had a pretty rainy beginning of summer, but July and August have been perfect for swimming and enjoying the backyard. The pool has been crystal clear and the water temperature perfect.

I will be leaving Friday to visit family, and, sadly, when I come back swimming season will most likely be over.

We are very excited to meet our granddaughter end of September. Fran is feeling well, maybe a tad exhausted, she has been on many outings with Simon.

And Yes! I do work 6 days a week!

Quilting my life away! My machine was down for almost two weeks. I must have fried the circuit boards, it's not good to quilt 24/7!

Here are some of the quilts I finished for my customers. But, just one more picture of Simon (with Dan).

And, before I forget! Fran and Luke found out that they are indeed expecting a baby girl!

Love this Pinwheel quilt by Sharon H.!
