Upper Peninsula of Michigan

I have been gone again. This time to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
When we go there the weather was cool and ready to sleep under quilts. My friend Pat and I planned on sewing all week. We each had projects we wanted to work on. We did get a lot accomplished.
I finally got the back to my jelly roll quilt made, and borders on my Bonnie Hunter, Carolina Christmas, as well as the back. Now 2 quilts can go out to be quilted.
Pat finished a quilt top and got a wool and cotton top ready to work on.
We did take time to play cards with our husbands.

This is the miniature quilt I made for Pat. It is Jo Morton's "Sisters". Pat and I have known each other for a lot of years. It is a wonderful friendship. We met for a few hours this year at the Quilt Festival in Rosemont, when this picture was taken.



We got to watch the hummingbirds, upclose and personal. They are so much fun to watch.
We arrived home on Wednesday after a wonderful week. My husband had shoulder surgery scheduled for Thursday am. He is doing wonderfully. Surgery went fine and wasn't as serious as thought. Recovery will go well.
I will post more after things settle down?? My Dad and I are at 2 1/2 weeks and counting for our big adventure. So much to do, so little time!!!! We leave on the 22nd.
Klosjes, update: 300 down 132 to go!!

Hi Mary,

Thanks for visting my weblog. I'm sorry it isn't in English. I always want to translate my little stories, but there's never enough time for that, sigh.....writing is English isn't that easy for me, I have to think a lot about the right way of saying en writing things. And ofcourse there is always the Google Translate, but that's a silly thing. The translations are very odd LOL

The miniature quilt you made for your friend is so lovely. I do like it very much. It's very special, a friendship like that.

Quilty regards from the Netherlands,

Inge
