Grandma's Quilt Tops

Close up of the quilting on Becky's quilt.

Patrick's quilt

I'm making progress with Grandma Miller's quilt tops. They were most likely made in the 1970's and I'm finishing them.
The pictures above show the progress I've made since Barbara & I shopped for the fabric to finish them.

Vacation with Barb & Dave

We had a wonderful time vacationing with Barb & Dave.

Dave is quite the cook and we enjoyed everything he prepared. He grilled a pork roast, made twice-baked potatoes, baked a killer Bailey's Irish Cream Cake, wonderful burgers, & a stir fry to name a few. John was Dave's kitchen helper. They had a good time in the kitchen!

Nicki made 'Aunt Jo's Spagetti" garlic bread, & a wonderful salad for our last dinner together before Barb & Dave had to leave.

We played cards, had cocktails, gambled at Pechanga, & had an amazing dinner at Las Brisas in Laguna Beach.

Barb & I shopped at Kohl's. I need her advice about how clothes look on me. Thank goodness, she's honest about it!! We also shopped for fabric to finish 2 of Grandma's quilt tops. One is for Patrick and the other is for Becky.

Nicki, Barb, & I had massages & facials. It was so relaxing.

Unfortunately, I have no pictures to share because we were having too much fun to think about picture taking. Well, next time!
