As usual, it has been a very busy few weeks.
I'm always sad when I have multiple days that I cannot get into my studio. Fortunately, the reason I haven't been able to sew is that I have been spending a lot of time with family and friends. Quilting always takes a backseat to family/friend time!
We had a wonderful Memorial Day celebration at Kyle and Heather's house. My contribution to the meal was a few salads and this rather healthy dessert. I found the idea on Pinterest. It was so easy to make.
The highlight of the past
few weeks has been the Gradu-Birthday celebration of my son JT's girlfriend from medical school.
This is the happy graduate and my son at a celebratory dinner dance before the ceremony.
It was wonderful to meet all of her family visiting from California.
Here they are on graduation day.
Congratulations Dr. Kaela!
The celebrating continues as today is her birthday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
My Gradu-Birthday gift was a quilt I
made called "Teal & White Delight."
Teal is Kaela's favorite color.
You've worked so hard, Kaela. You should be very proud of your accomplishments. Good luck with your residency and in all your future endeavors.
