My DH and I were gone for a few weeks as we went to Washingon state to see our son and granddaughter. I can't believe that she is growing up so quickly. She is 10 and it won't be long before she is taller than Grama. What a bundle of energy, too. She just never seems to sit down and she about wore us out.
On our way back home we stopped at Yellowstone National Park for a couple of days and then went by Windsor CO to see a dear friend and her husband. Of course, she and I had to visit a couple of quilt shops. Oh, by the way, if you ever get close to Helena, MT there is a wonderful Ben Franklin store there with really nice fabric plus a bead section and just about any other crafty thing that you might be interested in.
The quilt for my sister should be back from the machine quilting lady soon so I had to get the pillow shams done. I still need to make the label but it won't take too long to sew it on then I will be done. Yay.
Below is a bead (really?). My sister makes jewelery and I found this bead in WA that I am going to have her make into a necklace. She told me about Kazuri beads which are made by women in Kenya. Most of the women are single mothers and this is a way for them to earn money to support themselves and their children. If you would like to know more, just search on Kazuri. I'm hoping there might be a bead show close to us this winter.
Well, I guess I'll go see what quilting project I want to work on next. So hard to decide ;-)
