We returned from our camping trip to the Oregon beach and up the Washington coast to Port Angeles and Port Townsend and then down to Oregon again. It was a nice time away. I'll included a few pictures if I can figure out how to do it. whoopee!!! There is Sharons' cute Christmas project. Cindy combines her ideas and some of Sue Spargos' and came up with this great quilt. She is amazing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From our trip You might not know that this is the bark of a very cool tree that is next to the biggest Lovely evening watching the sun set. **************************************** Now for the August schedule.
