Life and Log Cabin Quilts with Flavin Glover

Life …

We are remodeling our church house. They have demolished the old classroom walls with termite damage and are getting ready to build on a new addition.

Recent guests in our home have been a group from Faith Mission Home in Virginia. Ashton enjoyed visiting with them so much and wanted to be included in the picture.

Darryl and Laura Schrock

Jerril and Paula surprised Amy with a visit for her birthday.

 

… as a Quilter

 Our Possum Town Quilters enjoyed a class with Flavin Glover from Auburn, AL.

She makes all kinds of quilts using the “log cabin” block in her work.

 

 

I helped our Possum Town Quilters do some hand quilting under the tent for Artisan's Day in Columbus, MS as part of the Spring Pilgrimage.

Columbus Tales and Quilts to Louisville

Life ...

This evening we took in the “Tales From the Crypt” at Friendship Cemetery in Columbus.

“Tales from the Crypt re-creates the lives of noted personalities interred at the historic Friendship Cemetery, the site of the Confederate Decoration Day that inspired the poem, The Blue and the Gray”

     

 

 

  

 

  

… as a Quilter

I’m working on “Lily IV” for a class sample.

 

Our Magnolia Sewing Circle delivered quilts in Louisville, MS where…

 

… a tornado destroyed homes a year ago.

Visit to Dustins, Gina, and Bryce in LA

Paul and I took a short trip to Los Angeles to visit our 10th grandchild, Bryce Camden.

 

Dustin and Gina welcomed us to their home. We enjoyed dinner in their back yard.

 

 

Paul and I took a walk around the block and enjoyed the sights,  flowers, ...

 

...and palm trees of Tujunga.

 

 

 

Dustins live in what they call a "back house." It's cute and comfortable, just perfect for their needs.

 

Saturday they took us to Montrose for ...

 

... a treat of homemade ice cream at Paradis.

 

On Sunday we drove up to Lubec for church and lunch. Then we drove just a little further north on Interstate 5 through "the Grapevine" to where the mountains abruptly stop and the San Joaquin Valley begins.

 

We pulled off at Pyramid Lake ...

 

 

...and learned more about the water resources of California.

 

This little munchkins was sleeping soundly when we got back.

More “Lily” Quilts

I have been working on more “Lily” fiber art.

This piece is for the 2015 SAQA Benefit Auction.

 The back label.

 

 And this piece that I’m working on is for a class sample.

Life, Wedding, Rena and Lily Quilt

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.

Josh’s folks, Walter and Myra

Josh’s cousins from PA.

We don’t often see ice in Mississippi.


 

And then it warmed up and Paul and I went for a walk.
