Good Old Abe

It was surprise Abe week for me.  First I received this charming Lincoln tray and flag from Diane.

 It was wrapped with this primitive flag and bakery string.

My friend, Cecile of Patchwork Inspirations sent me this charming surprise Lincoln doll quilt.   Thank you Cecile!

Abe and nine patches - two of my favorite things!

 I didn't expect anything in return.   I've been so lucky to be on the receiving end.

We had a nice quiet 4th of July here.  

We played games, sipped adult beverages and spent time together.

We decorated the trees with streamers - a little tacky but festive and fun.

 It was relaxing and fun and I got some stitching done.

 I saw this book on Gladi's blog and was happy to add a used version to my Applique' Library.

I'm taking part in the Ninigret Quilters mystery quilt.  I has been decades since I've participated in one.   I'm using this lovely Downton Abbey fabric and I'm going for "elegant"...The theme is TeaTime.  Stay tuned.

 This week I was the guest for the Calico Cutters Guild Zoom Meeting.

There was lots of great show and tell and it was a very active and fun meeting.

I hope you've had a good week too.
