Aren't they Great!

Here's the troop on the 4th of July. I wasn't there but Claire shared the picture. Although sighted very rarely, this is Ian and Liz with Claire and Cubby.

My sister flew back to LA today. We had a nice but short visit.  Went to see the Lugnuts Friday night.  13 innings! (they lost) but we had to stay to see the fireworks.  It was in the 50's. What happened to those hot summer nights?

About that baby quilt top......I gave it to my sister to take back with her and finish for a coworker's grandchild and I forgot to snap a photo first. My sister promised to send one. You'll have to wait a bit longer...  She brought my 5 yards of Jane S. fabric that she bought on sale for me. Maybe I'll have to bop over to Jane's blog for some ideas.

Drive on!

Here's Cubby at the Ft Wayne Zoo.  I know, his hat says  Detroit Zoo but we were really in Indiana. He's becoming quite the zoo traveler. He's driving a jeep in the African safari exhibit. It's very cool.

I had planned to show the completed top for the baby quilt I'm working on.  I realized that I hadn't prewashed the border fabric so the top is not finished yet.  I don't always prewash my fabric, especially for wall hangings but on baby quilts that will be washed frequently, I think it's a good idea.

Sooooo, you'll have to wait a little longer.
