    Luann, I really enjoy looking over your monthly blogs. It's interesting to see what you've been up to. That church is amazing! Loved your colorful flying geese and I'll be looking forward to seeing what you do with those tables.

    Thanks for sharing..... geneva

                    Hi all. Today is my month and it has been BUSY. My latest quilt, Spring Explosion, won Grand Champion in 2 county fairs (yes we can enter more than 1 fair in Colo). It will debut in Portland in Sept.

                    we have 2 grands that live in Cincinnati and daddy brought them out then went home. . First we went to see Great Grandma in the mountains. The girls dipped their toes in the Poudre River behind her house. We explained it was melted snow to why is was so cold.

                    Son and girls


                    We then went to Tiny Town in the foothills of Denver. It’s over 100 years old and great fun for children. Our single son in Denver spent the day with us. A lot of the buildings are not 100 years old.

                    We tie-dyed t-shirts and dresses

                    Then this happened. Well crap! I fell in the garage, didn’t break my hip, thankfully; I did dislocate my thumb and have cartilage damage on my right hand. I go to a hand specialist on Monday. I thought I was ambidextrous until this happened.



                    With Poppy’s help we were able to make to Doll quilts. The girls sewed the seams and ironed and I lightly quilted them.


                    I was supposed to fly back with the girls yesterday, but with my arm...our son in Denver took them home and he will be home tonight. Well, I’ve had enough excitement for one month. Summer break s nearly over.

                    Happy sewing everyone.

                      Congratulations on your quilt being Grand Champion! It is beautiful. And your little granddaughters are too. Sorry about your fall - hope you mend well soon.

                        Oh Sharon! Congratulations on the award!! But oh my goodness, your poor hand! How long will you be laid up? Sending you good healing thoughts. Gotta love summer when the grandies get to visit. Which show is in Portland?

                        Lotti, my sincere condolences on your Dad's passing. It's good you have family around to share the memories.
                        1000 years old! Wow!! Did they update it for plumbing, electricity and heat? Did you ever have problems when the Rhine flooded? I have so many questions for you.
                        Those quilts are so happy for your godparents! I'm sure they'll enjoy them.

                          Ow Sharon poor you, hope you heal quick but congratulations on your success with the quilt. Fabulous

                          Lotti I saw your post about your dad on Facebook and so sorry it's hard. I love that you're finding comfort with your family and remembering the past and your links. Your snuggle quilts are gorgeous.

                            Oh Sharon. . .awful about the damage from your fall. Please follow directions and heal quickly!!!! Congratulations on the award for your Spring Explosion quilt. It is such a lovely piece of work and what a great name for it!

                            Lotti, hugs to you. I am sorry to learn of your dad's passing. May the fun and happy memories buoy your heart and head when sadness tries to creep into your life. Dad's are extra special and when you've had a good one, they are missed!

                              Sharon, How nice that your quilt is a winner! Not surprising in the least. Good luck in September. I'm so sorry about your thumb. Such a small little digit, but oh so important. Here's to a quick recovery.

                              Lotti, I'm very sorry for the loss of your father. Your smiles in the pictures with him say it all. I love Switzerland! It's so beautiful, especially through your photography. Love those snuggle quilts. So bright and cheery. 65 years! Nice...

                              Yesterday was my day to write. I was busy so I will report in today. Except, not much to report. I am sewing the binding down on the 3rd Christmas quilt. I have the 4th layered and hope to get the Foundation quilting done on it today. I'm tired of working on these quilts, but will be so happy when I see the smiles on the faces of my kids and grandkids. Quilts 1 and 2 are done. Here's a picture of them. (Sorry if I've already posted!)









                              I wish you all a happy August!

                              Take care, geneva

                                Geneva, it is a long process to work on multiples of the same quilt, but you're nearing the end. Congratulations, and you're right-they'll love them.
