Wedding – Sheri Helmuth and Sam Horst

My sister Sheila checks in on Coleen and me as we sautéed lots and lots of onions and sweet bell peppers to add to the rice for the reception.

Here comes the bride … my niece Sheri.

I stood afar and zoomed in to get pictures during the photo shoot before the wedding.

Sam and Sheri are now Mr. and Mrs.

Congratulations and Best Wishes!

Shopping and Quilts

Life …

Mother, June, Coleen and I traveled to PA to meet Polly and go shopping together. We stopped at thrift stores along the way in Hagerstown, MD. 

Later we drove past this building and were disappointed that the One Room School was closed.

… as a Quilter

Polly finished her quilt that she started in February at our sewing retreat, for her granddaughter Summer Breeze. It turned out so beautiful, along with the Pooh pillow. What a special quilt for a special girl.

The strip of chevrons on the back were pieces left over from the front.

Polly also showed me her Metro Medallion quilt that still needs more work. She is doing a marvelous job with the machine quilting, just like Jenny at Sew Kind of Wonderful.

And did you see those bolts of fabric in Polly’s van? She’s going to share them with us!

Coleen and I spied this quilt at the Shenandoah’s Farmer’s Market in Harrisonburg, VA. It was made by my sister-in-law Cheryl from a kit. Beautiful, just beautiful!

Weddings, Adam & Megan and Sheri & Sam

Life …

Paul and I drove to VA to attend the wedding of my nephew, Adam to Megan.

Mother is machine quilting her “flower garden” quilt that she was working on earlier this year at our sewing retreat.

I helped my sister Coleen fry pounds and pounds of hamburger for our sister Sheila in preparation for her daughter Sheri’s wedding.

The Helmuth family is cleaning up outside getting ready for Sam & Sheri’s reception.

I helped Sheila pick up a few sticks to clean the area for the wedding reception.

Sheri, the lovely bride to be.

Paul found the restored, ‘get-away’ …

… Jeep to be fascinating.

Mother and Sheila enjoy a sweet moment with Sheila’s first grandchild, Caroline.

Life and Quilting at Antebellum Homes

Life …

Georgi lovin’ up on Clyde

Follow the Yellow Book Road

“Yes, Jesus loves me. The Bible tells me so.”

Reaching for the bubbles

It’s just about time for Sunday School!

“Curious George” is entertaining.

Ashton ask me to make a John Deere cake for his mama’s birthday.

And “Curious George” keeps on entertaining.

…as a Quilter

Brenda and I enjoyed an afternoon together at “Ole Magnolia” antebellum home in Columbus, MS.

Edwina (Mother Goose from the library) provided background music for guests that came to tour the home.

Another day I quilted with Ebba and Judy at “Bren Bella.”

Ebba and I enjoyed the tour with other guests.

This young girl told us about the library.

The owner, Keith shared interesting facts about the upstairs bedrooms.

During our tour, from the balcony above we could see Judy quilting.

The live oak tree in the front yard is around 275 years old.

Back to life … we were invited to Paul’s sister, Jeanie and Galen’s for supper.

My cousin, Carl and Grace were here from SC to visit their daughter Karla & Jason & family.

Laura played ‘scoot the car’ with the children.
