The big 6-0!

I started this before my 60th birthday! Oops, I'm a little late posting it.  So far, 60 has been great! My daughter had a most beautiful, magical wedding - a weekend that went by way too fast! It is starting to cool down a bit. We finally got a good bit of rain and my flowers are gorgeous!  

My hollyhocks usually are chewed up by bugs but this year, they were just perfect! I plan to save some of the seeds and hopefully grow a few more along the side of my house.  The sunflowers are just so cheery! They make me smile every time I see them.

I finished 3 quilts in a week.  My daughter and son-in-law's wedding quilt was done a full 3 days before the wedding and then the following week, I finished the binding on two unfinished quilts. The sense of accomplishment is unreal!  

I'm making a Halloween table runner that is so cute.  It has black cats and pumpkins on it and I will use it on the island in my kitchen since I like to sit there and read at meal times. 

We had our first church meal in several months yesterday and while there weren't many people, those of us who were there had a great time catching up with each other and reminiscing on past meals.  Tomorrow is the quilt guild meeting and it is the start of the 40th year.  I can't wait to see what is planned. It has been so long, too long, since I spent time with other quilters and this feels really good! 

I'm loving 60.

Busy summer
