SIX WEEKS OF FUN FRIENDS AND FAMILY

Starting the good times our Grand daughter's class concert, she was lovely and Grandpa was so proud
************************************************************************************
Then a great time on retreat to Whidby Island, our dear Ann companion artist opened her lovely home for our Stitch group.
OUR HOSTESS ANN



Well I must say we had a lovely time, it was quiet and productive the foods were wonderful. A chilly ferry ride back to the main land and Port Townsends quilt shop; Note this is a rule I should follow "do not buy any new fabric" but when I enter the Port Townsend shop I blatantly break my own rule, the shop is wonderful and a new quilt is in the works.
*********************************************************
Then I receive an invitation to take my Wearable Art, on the road again this time in Ocean Shores, what fun.  This is just another wonderful event in my life wow.  This time our daughter Karol and her family joined us.  Our youngest granddaughter Katie, Karol and Grandpa were in front row seat for this show, I cannot tell you how much it meant to me to have my family support me not to mention how much fun it is to be back stage and share some of the comradely shared by we models.

NEXT EVENT WAS THE GRADUATION OF OUR OH SO GROWN UP GRANDDAUGHTER KAYLA SHE RECIEVED THE PRESIDENT'S AWARD FOR SCALSTIC RECORD OF 3.5 OR OVER FOR THREE YEARS IN A ROW.
SHE IS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN SPECIAL TO US THE FACT THAT OTHERS HAVE ALSO SEEN WHAT A GREAT KID SHE IS WONDERFUL

*********************************************************
THEN A GREAT DAY/ROAD TRIP WITH MY FELLOW STITCH PALS
A lovely ferry ride to Anderson Island and a happy time with fellow quilt artist -- Andrea opened her water front home to our group --and the sun was shining oh so bright plus the food was wonderful. Our Incognito leader Sherry discusses our future quilt show at the Gig Harbor Library in October.
We have so much fun together whether we are creating or eating, and believe me we do not agree on everything but the love of art and our creative spirits bonds us together in wonderful warm friendships, I have grown to love each one of my Stitch sisters.  Sherry has some lovely pictures of our journey in her blog "Sherry loves Color" she really is a great photo artist as well as an artist in so many other ways.
