Some quilt finishes and updates (picture heavy)

 Wow - I haven't blogged since April, hence the picture heavy mention in the title.  I keep thinking about it but then...  

I have been keeping busy with life in general, quilting, cross stitching, decorating, keeping out of the heat.  I also took a quick trip to California to see my friends and check up on my father-in-law.  But you aren't here to hear about all that, you want to see some finished (or semi-finished) products.  

First, quilt finishes.

Wonky Log Cabin - used some Amish fabric my mom bought me years ago and some solids from my stash.

Made this for my friend Anna.  She makes so much for others, I thought I'd make her something.

Obviously to honor my move to Texas!

Cross Stitch

Most of the Halloween ones aren't fully finished.  I will be working on those this week.

Other Crafts

All made with the craft group gang I belong to.  We meet once a month.  So much fun.

And my trip to California was great.  Spent time with my father-in-law and with friends from the prison and from the mall and of course my friendship group met for a potluck lunch.  

We are missing some dear friends who have died the last year--Lynn Marie and Carol.  It was so good to catch up with these beautiful women who mean the world to me.  

So life in Texas is still wonderful.  I think this was the best move I could have made for me and my puppies.  I survived my first Texas summer!  As long as there is A/C I'm good anywhere.  

Thanks for looking.
