Recently Rena joined our Possum Town Quilters for a visit. I was so pleased to see her finished “Lily” quilt. She came to our house for a class last winter (here) to learn the technique. I like the way she changed it from a lily to tulips to make it personal and unique.
We were invited out to Levis along with our neighbors, Nathan & Amanda for a fish fry. Amanda wanted to learn how to fry those good catfish.
Levi times the frying time to 5 or 6 minutes depending on the size of the fillet.
We attended the wedding of Josh and Dasie.

And then it warmed up and Paul and I went for a walk.
My brother, Oren Jr. and Paul help hang the oil paintings.
David and Rachel brought their painting to share in the exhibit. Rachel said they took their painting along with them to Pureto Rico when they lived down there.
Paul and I stayed with my brother Oren Jr. Cheryl made this beautiful quilt for the guest bed.
This painting was gifted back to our family from Linda H. What a treasure!

As we boarded the bus for our “Vera’s Journey” tour, I snapped a few photos of my cousins and families.

Kathy was our guide and told us about the different places that are mentioned in the book.
The theme for our Possum Town Quilter’s 2015 Ultimate Guild Challenge was to create a piece of fiber art with the Southern Magnolia Flower. My challenge was to present the white/cream flower in color. I fused applique pieces to a colorful background fabric and then used intense pencils for highlights and details.
