Birthday Suppers-Friends-Quilts

 We celebrated two birthdays recently.

  Abe Rittenhouse's birthday.

Rebecca celebrated Abe's birthday by having his family,

 Terry and I for a wonder supper.

 Melissa celebrated Benjamin's birthday by having family and friends for supper. Benjamin (far left).

I just love when my children come home.

As A Quilter

Susan (second from left) is a technical editor for C&T Publising from Idaho.  She has edited all four of my quilt books.  This past week I had the privilege of meeting her in person along with some of her friends.  Thanks Susan for a wonderful time!

 

I  spent the day with my mother and some of my sisters quilting.  Polly is working on a quilt that will be in my new book. By the way the picture in the background Mother painted over 50 years ago.

Could this picture be a quilt inspiration?   At the Homestead in Hot Springs VA.

I confess, I made the quilt before I saw the Lattice.

  

Halfway done quilting my Zig and Zag quilt.
