I'm going to attempt to post some new picture, This new computer isn't always very cooperative!
Well, okay, I couldn't get it to upload...I have several things finished, most of which will go to charities. The quilt show was wonderful, and I wanted to show our Mountain of Quilts project. I don't know the exact count, but it looked like hundreds of quilts for various local charites!
Mary-who is still trying to work out the bugs in this new computer.
Quilting for charity, selling, and gifts-I love it all!

Let's try this again!
I ment to write a little about our vacation when we got home, but found our computer had crashed...Total TU! I just have access at work, until we get a new one. We will go computer shopping this weekend I hope.
The vaca was nice and relaxing. No money issues, Shara and I mostly got along well. It was a good time. We went antiqueing several times during the trip, and I would like to post pix of some of the treasures we found, but until we have a home computer, I can't! I found a lovely crazy quilt with red velvet backing in one antique store. In another, I found a hand embroidered panel of an old fashioned dock scene. I think that might go well with some light house fabric I have had for awhile to make a little wall hanging. Or maybe I will just frame it as is.

Hello from Oregon!
We are finally on vacation! We are going to the Oregon coast this year, but first spending a couple days in Portland. Shara has a cousin here. We are staying in a hotel that has computer access-public computer.We don't have a laptop...
Anyway, back to the vaca...We will go from here to Pacific City and stay in a cabin at the 1000 trails presewrve there. It is a week of relaxing and antiqueing and beach combing and movies and some hand applique work. No, not a sewing machine! And that is OK!
Hop to find some treasures to share though! See you after the 25th!
God Bless
Mary

Wow!
It has been a month and a half since I posted! I have been diligently sewing quilt tops and finished two quilts. I also made the RWB blocks for the Carol Doak site swap and got them sent off. I just don't have pictures to show!
The end of July was very sad. We lost our dear Dad, Boyd Ressel. He was 87 years old and had been suffering from increasing dementia for around 6 years, but declined rapidly after falling at the nursing home. Falls are often the things that cause elders to decline, and this was no exception. We will miss him greatly, but he is no longer suffering. He would not want to live that way any longer. I know he is with God, conducting meetings with the angels!
I must admit, my quilting was a haven of rest during that time, as it often is when I have stress in my life. I brought my commission quilt blocks to work on when we went to Mom's house. We drove back and forth nearly every day that week. I also finished my RWB blocks and sent them in. I'm glad for quilting, as I can think about all the memories of my Dad and family, and have quilting to comfort me too.
I will post some pictures soon, I just need to photograph some things! I took Bailey down to the sewing machine doctor this week, now she is humming like a new machine again! Should have some more finished quilts ready and new stuff for etsy too reaaly soon!
God bless you all-remember to cherish your loved ones. We all are limited in out time here!

More pictures
I have pictures! I have two that will go to Sally House-someone donated some great tiger panels, and I made one with a panel on the front, and the other is backed with two of them.I also have a simple patchwork squares one that is going to Sally House. It has a baseball themed fabric on the back, so it is great for a little boy. I forgot to take a pix of the back!
I also have my Batik wallhanging
done, and the Kimono one.
