A Homeschool Field Trip

Two groups of around 30 people came to our home for a field 

trip to see Terry's rock collection. They were a very attentive group.

 They got a hands on experience.  The big crystal rock in the center of the table came from the Three River Gorge in China.

 These are some of his collection in the corner cabinet.

 Terry gave them each a small geode.

 For a snack I gave them homemade doughnuts

 which were made a few days earlier.

 Life as a Quilter

The last few weeks I have been working on this puppy.  

I need to name this quilt pattern design, any suggestions?  Not sure 

yet how I will quilt the rest of it.

Oops, I see I missed quilting one line.
