No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

Photos of the quilt show, etc.

Remember that you can click the photo to enlarge it...

This was painted by the Lord on Saturday morning

This is a quilt Rita and I saw at the show on Thursday, a 25th anniversary commemorative quilt. She asked me to take a picture of it for her...this one caught her eye!

Our friend, Dawn, created this quilt with an Asian theme. There is a dragon making its way diagonally down the pattern

Dawn had about a half dozen entries at this event and I was looking for them as we walked the aisles. I came around the end and did a double-take on this one, for the obvious reasons, and discovered it was Dawn's!!!

This is the prize winner, created by Dawn, for this contest using the theme "Sky is the Limit". The entrants were given the fabric and the theme, and away they went. Dawn created this masterpiece which commemorates each site where planes flown by Muslim terrorists into our buildings or into the ground, as happened in PA. She then stitched 3500 glistening beads to this piece in remembrance of the souls lost in those days. Definitely worthy of the blue ribbon. Well done, Dawn, well done!

Hi Linda J.!

Yup, that stained glass looking one spun me around, sort of Wright-styled pattern and great colors. Dawn is quite active in the Tea Party and besides that, is involved with 4-H in St. Augustine. We wondered if some of the quilts by younger kids (7 through teenagers) were from her group. Will have to ask her about that. On Thursdays she comes up early to pull weeds before Bible study....she is amazing!

I will share your congratulations with her!

Hugs and love,

Kim
