Not only am I home, NY, NYC, but I am really at my home,
OUT of the city...on long island, for the rest of the summer.
yippee! time to unpack, set up my summer studio, and get back to sewing!
I found my camera cord,
I had soooo many photos...
so I made a separate place for you to look at them...

You have some retreat photos to see...
You may have read some others recap of the weekend.
Let me just say, we laughed til we hurt...
What a fun bunch of gals.
We covered just about every topic you could think of... which might
make a good post for another day...

some MN photos, (Walnut grove,laura ingalls town),
Mississippi river, sunsets, clouds)
The Mighty Mississippi,
left side, Wisc. - Right side, MN.
Isn't this barn gorgeous??
I had to stop to get a picture of this one...
After driving across PA and OH, I thought I had seen all the different barns,
until I saw this one... in MN.
some family photos...
My aunt Marianne, Aunt Judy, My mother, me and B,
and don't forget OLIVIA... she wouldn't sit for the photo...)
and some MN QUILT SHOW PHOTOS...
Go see.
I noticed I have seen a few of them at the Lancaster show,
and I am assuming I will see a few of them at Houston again this year as well...
BEST of SHOW, was a beauty, I must say. A lot of really great tiny details.
much like the Japanese quilters...
And this white on white, I just adored. I want it...
And this pinwheel baskets was pretty great too.
amazing hand quilting.
A really impressive show.
OK, back to unpacking... time to sew!
