Here is a quilt I just finished for Joy- she is making quilts for each of her 14 grandchildren and I think she said she bought the embroidered blocks at a garage sale. The backing is hot pink also!
We had a very wet 4th of July with 7 inches of rain - it was coming down at a rate of 2 inches per hour for a while. I looked out at the backyard and it had 2 inches of standing water everywhere: the lawn, the roses, my poor tomato! Luckily it had been dry for a while before that storm so by the next day the water had soaked in. There was flooding locally with roads closed and fields flooded like this one - it had just been planted. Our phone also went out and we couldn't get it fixed until a few days later because of the holiday, so it was an eventful day.
After the quilt show we brought home a "bouquet" of balloons that were used as decoration. We have had fun with them - first we released them in the studio where they have been bobbing around in the drafts from the ceiling fans. I drew faces on them all to give them some personality and Peter posed in an imitation of The Scream.
Hi Jan. Sorry your 4th was so soggy. Your quilting is, as usual, outstanding. Take care.
