We had a great Flag Day weekend

& Open House!

Thank you very much to all who visited!!

It was great to see everyone, and

thanks too, for sharing your projects.

We love to see your

works-in-progress and finishes!

 

Here's a picture of a quilt top that came in for sharing:

Sue, the maker, is hiding behind the left corner

& that's Linda off to the right.

 Sue made nine inch blocks and

used all reproduction fabrics

(I think I cut off the bottom row or two in the photo,

the quilt was so big!).

Isn't it wonderful?

And so inspiring!?

Thanks again for helping us celebrate
and Happy Quilting,
the gals at The Good Wives Co.

P.S.
Don't forget that next Tuesday, June 25th is
the Lucy Boston Support Group meeting :)
10:30 a.m. to 12 :30 p.m.

Of course, it's gorgeous.
And, of course, we would like to add some of all of it to our personal stashes!

Besides the new fabric in house,
the weather has warmed up here in central Ohio.

Reminds us that 

summer is just right around the corner.

And, we're working on some great summer projects for you.
