On Ringo Lake and Art Quilt of Lakeland Presbyterian Church


...I have been working on my piece of the Lakeland Presbyterian Church in Flowood, MS. Here is my original picture.

I used a photo filter to get a different effect.

This is my piece of fiber art that I'm ready to quilt.

We also had a butchering day at the farm. I was glad the farm boys did all the work.

Sunrise, On Ringo Lake, Boys, Sunset

Sunrise in the East

This just can't be right for Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt #OnRingoLake; but it's fun to play with a layout.

After playing for a while at our house, I took Rusty & Teryn to the field to ride in the tractor with their dad.

Let's make plastic! Cornstarch, water, glycerin, and vinegar. The boys found this DIY on youtube.

Bonnie Hunter Mystery and Michigan Trip

Listening to Handel's Messiah while I stitch units for clue #2 of #BonnieHunter's mystery quilt #OnRingoLake .
 

Continuing our trip to Detroit, we passed this huge Uniroyal tire on Interstate 94.

It is made from a ferris wheel that was at the NY World's Fair in 1964. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniroyal_Giant_Tire

Scott and Darry have a junk business in Detroit. They find all kinds of 'treasures' and have furnished their houses with some of their finds.

Scott prepared popcorn for the snack at the weekly activity center.

The children gathered around for prayer before snack.

We had supper with Scott & Melissa, Kaylie, & Samatha and Darryl & Laura, and Kenny & Danielle.

Alex with his mini bike. He let me sit on it but was afraid I'd wreck it if I took it for a spin. It's probably good that he was skeptical of my driving!

Darryl and Laura live on Casper Street with very close neighbors.

Paul helped Darryl work on the garage while Kenny supervised!

On Ringo Lake and 40th Anniversary


Anniversary time: It's been a great 40 years!

Paul and I went to northern Indiana and Michigan for a few days.
We had only a small glimpse of Warren Dunes National Park on the shore of Lake Michigan.

We stopped for a short visit with my nephew Israel & Jessica and family.

Paul and Israel in the freezer at Bullseye Market in Vandalia.

Then is was supper at the Essenhause with Richard and Bonnie ...

... and a meeting the next morning near Goshen.

Bonnie Hunter's On Ringo Lake

Each year I like to participate in Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt. This year it's called "On Ringo Lake." I decided to mix things up a bit and swap the neutrals for black and make the dark brown my lights. I hope I won't be sorry! Here's my choice of fabric ...

... and a few of the nine-patches for the 1st clue.
