The weeds are still growing in my garden but flowers are doing well, colours are changing from pink roses to yellow and orange and the day lilies start open in a variety of warm colours. Along with roses they seem to be happiest in the Cape John soil so now I plan to expand the flower garden with carpet roses. Lots of work so I am thankful that Bob is here to help . Still not spending mush time with sewing machine or needle but the swimming is good and not many chances in a lifetime to teach a grand nephew to swim. Just returned form seeing two tall ships in partial sail go past the end of our cape quite a sight.
A week form today we will be setting up for the Northumberland Quilt show. Please try to attend the hours are 12-6;00 on Friday and 10:00 to Six on Saturday. You will find me at my appraisal table in the DeCoste center ,Water street in Pictou. I will also be at the Museum of Industry in Stellarton at 11:00 on Friday morning for a personalized tour of my Star Quilts exhibit.This year some of my vintage aprons will be on display as well as my recently made quilts. My main winter project, a King size log cabin quilt will not be there but you can see a picture of it as presented to my son Greg’s best friend Daniel Kieley and his bride Berenice Gorahh Thursday night the 23 rd of July. The center landscape of Montreal from the St Lawrence river was done by Anne Kaufman , I dyed the sky fabrics and Jocelyn Martel quilted it with lots of Fleur de Lys. I returned to Montreal for the wedding and during the festivities our Greg proposed to his wonderful Laurel Johnson so there will be two family weddings in our family next year.
