Traci & me (in California) 
3 Leaves (quilted)
3 Leaves (detail)I did have a very busy summer! In fact, it was a very productive summer with lots of new work. I am now back from my whirlwind trips with a new mindset to keep my blog updated. I have way too many new things to put in one post, but I will start with the finished "3 Leaves". (I see I have to yet again update my photo lighting. The overall pic seems a bit off in color. )
In August, I gave a lecture/trunk show at The Tavern Quilt Guild in Heathsville, VA. What a nice group of quilters! It's too bad they are so far away...they do so many fun things! I gave them my "Top Ten Machine Quilting Tips" and showed them some of my quilts.
I visited my daughter in California and had a wonderful time! We did so many things! We took an open air jeep tour of wineries in Santa Barbara. We stayed at the luxurious Canary Hotel and the jeep tour guide picked us up. We took an old stagecoach road through the mountains to 4 different wineries. Fun!! I will have to post pics on my flickr site because there are way too many to show here. Paradise Cove was fun, too! It's where the movie "Gidget" was filmed. We even encountered rattlesnakes on a hike in the Santa Monica mountains!!
We also too several trips to Ohio to work on our house there and visit our son. I feel like I've been gone all summer!
OK, I'm off to take more pics of the new work. I will post again tomorrow!

Good to see you are home again.
Are you coming to Houston for the IQF in October?
Hi Vivian, thanks for the comment on my blog. Yes, these 4x6 pieces are made with index cards. The needle holes make nice passages for hand stitching. I can't wait to see what else you post from the productive summer you've had! Take care.
