Summertime!

Color Wheel Fun is happening here. I'm developing a new workshop using Analogous Colors.

I think I'll call this red hot chili peppers.

Narrowing the color scheme is a fun way to explore values and colors.

I think this one will be really fun.

My boys bought a new boat!  It has taken many months but we have a new Andiamo.

I shared this old quilt in IG. It is a signature quilt I made for Rich 23 years ago.

I had forgotten that it had an early panel on the back.  

In other boating news; my guys headed to Chicago for the annual 333 mile race to Mackinac Island.  It is like taking a first day of school photo each year.

Sadly due to horribly stormy weather they withdrew within hours of starting the race.

Better to be safe, especially since they were down 2 crew members.  They drove up to island and are having a good time anyway.

Can you sense my husbands disappointment? 

Meanwhile, I have been getting ready for  three days of teaching a quilting fun at Maine Quilts.  

I'm teaching three all day workshops:

Pretty Pineapples

Liberated Houses:

Lollipop Garden 

I had a few friends come up for quilt camp while the boys were away.

I think we chatted and ate more than we sewed.  Sounds right, doesn't it?

coco has been enjoying swimming at the lake.  

Nutmeg is watching the hummingbirds.

I hope you are having a wonderful summer!
