I LIKE Thursday

 Last weekend was the Annual N.E.Wyoming Quilt Show! There were 388 quilts on display. There are ribbons for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place  through People’s Choice voting! There are also sponsor awards. 

My friend Aggie made this QOV quilt. She found the Marines medallion on line. Her son was in the Marines and works with a Marine support group in our state. She makes lots of RW&B quilts, both for QOV and for that support group. This one won best Patriotic Quilt. The pattern is one she saw on Pinterest then “ just figured it out”! 

This one ⤵️ won for best hand embroidered quilt. My friend Marva stitched, pieced and quilted this. It is hard to see, because it has such soft colors. It’s the Gardener’s Alphabet from Crabapple Hill. The kit and all the floss was a gift from her husband several Christmases ago. 

Best machine appliqué . Made by my friend Christine.

Best Sampler Quilt BOM from a local quilt store. My friend Connie got a sponsor’s ribbon for this beauty.

This is an embroidery entry and when you scan it with your phone, it takes you to a music video. Not sure if it will work from this photo, my angle might be off a bit. But it worked in real life! 

I was photo bombed by some guy, but  this pixel quilt is best viewed from a distance. The maker is a 15 year old boy. His mom helped him draft the design. 

Fall is officially here. Download is decorated to the max! Pots like this on every corner,

bicycles revamped with fall colors instead of summer flowers,

LeeAnna wondered: 

do you like hayrides? When I was a teenager,  I liked them. Now I couldn’t crawl up into the hay wagon. But the idea appeals to me. Warm nights, stars in abundance maybe even a Harvest Moon. 

tell us about one you experienced:   I maybe shouldn’t admit this. But I got my first kiss from a boy,  on a hayride with my MYF (Methodist Youth Fellowship) group.

I cannot remember his name but he was a year older than me! I was 16. 

This week, two dentist appointments ! Not a likable thing, but necessary. I’d never experienced the ultrasonic cleaner. I felt like I was being “ waterboarded” 😁 The hygienist said it was the first time she’d been accused of that! 😳 I survived to tell the tale! 

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful!

I leave you with a recent photo of a sunrise from my friend back yard!

The intense color due to fires in our area still and again! Mother Nature is definitely in a mood!
