I just got back from a visit to see my parents in Maryland. As a part of this visit, we went to Rehoboth Beach to stay with my sister and her family for a few days. In addition to playing in the surf on the beach (I'm the fun aunt that goes into the water with my niece, Diane!), we were regaled with evening concerts. Diane has improved so much in the past year - it was truly an enjoyable time of music. Keep it up, kiddo!

I borrowed Kathy's Accuquilt to make a kit of the tumbler blocks to take with me. My niece, Diane, was able to lay out the blocks that were cut and she assembled them into a lap quilt sized top. I brought that home with me so that she'll be able to quilt it when she next visits - hopefully some time in the coming year.

| Here's the basic quilt. I tried to use fun fabrics in cutting the blocks. Diane laid them out with help from her Dad. It's a colorful quilt top...still needs a border but we have the material picked out for that as well as the binding. Now all it needs is for Diane to make a trip to Columbus to add the border and do the quilting. I'm pulling for the winter break she has - think she'll come to Columbus then?? |
 |
| We knew they were taking pictures and Diane had planned all sorts of different poses we could use. Trouble was, they took the picture some place we weren't expecting it to happen - what a reaction! |
 |
| Of course, there's the obligatory family photo. Here it is! Diane with her parents and grandparents. Good looking bunch and a fun group to spend a few days with at the beach. |
Cheers!
Margaret
