Modern Improv
I am currently in love with vast fields of grey. It's probably a fad, but I adore it. In a few days I created this modern improv quilt. I finally used the Nigerian print I had in my stash for years for the backing.

Tractor Work
There is enough yard work to keep us busy every Saturday of the summer. This time, a tree came down and it is too high to reach. Let's see what we can do.

Stanwood Fair
We love going to the Stanwood Fair. Mostly I enjoy the quilts and the animals, but there's always time for a few rides.

Little Elephant
I had the opportunity to quilt up a little baby quilt for a special little girl. Her parents had just returned from Africa with her and I wanted to make something extra for her arrival. This Heather Bailey Elephant is really a pincushion pattern, but it worked well for a little toy. Her face just lit up when I tucked it next to her. At 9 months old, all of this experience is new and scary. But like all adopted children, she will take it in stride.

Buying a New Bed
Over the years we've had great successes and terrible failures choosing beds. Our first bed was a double from Grandma Helen's mom. It was exceptionally small. Katie never slept with us. When we got to Lubbock, we bought a king sized bed. It saved our marriage. That Serta Perfect Sleeper lasted for 20 years.

David's Wedding
Howard's good friend invited him to be his best man at his wedding. We enjoyed the afternoon in Seattle with many of Howard's friends and some great music.
