Loving Summer

I'm not quite sure what happened.  One minute it was mid-July and I was wondering if my zucchini plant would ever make a veggie and the next minute it was August and I've got a ton of zucchini.  I also have a couple of million green tomatoes.  Soon we'll be having tomato everything.  It's one of the things I love about summer.  Also, the warm nights, the smell of sweet peas and so much wonderful color.

Now that I can look at all the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show pictures without feeling totally overwhelmed, I'd like to share a few.

Theses quilts were featured at the Quilters' Picnic in the Park.  Some were made by employees of The Stitchin' Post and others by The Folk Art Chicks, Tonye Phillips, Gwen Marston and Sue Spargo. The photos were taken as the quilts were walked by.

Look at those luscious colors.

The quilts below all feature the Three Sisters Mountains, which the town is named for.

Now to the Folk Art Portion:

I have to admit that by the day of the show, I feel overwhelmed by quilts and colors and new ideas.  This was my 20th year and I don't take as many pictures as I once did, but I can share a few that were favorites for one reason or another.  This show has to be seen in person to be appreciated.

I really love this last one.  Don't see that sentiment much!

As you can see, there's all kinds of everything.  As usual, it was incredibly organized.  The whole thing is hung outdoors first thing on Saturday morning, all over the town of Sisters.  It's a lot to take in over just one day, but always worth the time.

Enjoy August.  I'll have pictures of quilts made from out new pattern by the end of the month.

Keep Quilting,
