A Meet Me In Paris Quilt
I made for my mom and dad's
50th wedding anniversary a few years ago.

Above is mom's guest room.
We stayed a quick night with them
on our way out of Denver.

Speaking of the Denver show....
what a nightmare...
We were in that bad storm...
creeping along the freeway 
at about 10-20 mph
all the way.
Causing us to be late for set up.
Poor Kenny Roy
only had 2 1/2 hours that night.
Thankfully it was only a single booth...

We were so glad to finally be done with that
show...
and on our way to see the grand kids.

On the way out of Denver...
we usually stop here...
for some good grub.
I mean really???
How can you go wrong...
with a name like that?

Here we are just outside...



A quick stop at the bookstore...
And finally to grand kids house we go...
Grandma always has to put a curl in his hair ...
Some of you ask about Ashley...this pic shows how happy she is to be a mom to this lil boy...
The older kids playing drums...
That's all for today folks....
I'm off to the bookstore
for some R and R....

  5. Oh my,
    I love all your work, but the quilt you made for your parents is to die for!!
    I was wondering if you had grandkids. Is there anything like that in the world?
    I don't think I've ever seen your booth at a Fla show. Do you ever plan to enter one here?

  8. It's my parents 50th this year but they won't be lucky enough to be getting such a fabulous quilt. We are, however, organising a surprise party for them.
    Your grandkids are great - I can't wait to be a grandma!
    Great books - The Bag Making Bible is on my wish list.

  11. What an amazing quilt you made for your parents! The fabrics are amazing. I'll bet there were so proud and felt so loved. Grandkid? Seriously you hardly look old enough to have them.

    What fun the books!!!
