Sticky, Sweaty and Smelly at Put In Bay!!

Those 3 words describe our trip yesterday to Middle Bass Island and Put In Bay.  But we had a great time catching up with our friends the Myerholtz family from California.  Greg is a friend of my DH and was in our wedding 22 years ago. His wife Patrica and children Miranda, Amber and Josh were a lot of fun to see the island with.  We were also joined by our nephew Ryan and his dad Clint.  It was great hearing high school stories of things that Jim and Greg didn't really want the kids to hear!!

We took the Miller Boat Line ferry over at 10:00 a.m.

Jim and Greg infront of the Perry Monument. 

We were disappointed to find out that the monument was closed for renovation.

This was the first time that Jim and I have actually been on the island together!!

I see us visiting again in the future!!

Scarlet and Gray fabric shopping! My Christmas in July!!

On my way to Columbus I stopped in Ashland,Ohio at Country Charm Fabrics.  I found a great

Lakehouse Fabric LH05019B 'Saturns' to use for my Buckeye Quilts.  It's Black with a Gray Planet that has Red rings around it. 

I also stopped at Glass Thimble and picked up some great Robert Kaufman 10220 Red and Black stripes.

At Quilt Trends I found Dimples for Andover Fabrics.

While in Columbus I visted the Ohio Union on the campus of The Ohio State University, I will post a separate blog about that and Eddie George's Grill.

On my way home I dropped off 4 quilt tops to be quilted by Jennifer McCann.  I can't wait to pick them up this fall!!
