Pets on Quilt Show August 7th - August 21st 2010

I want to thank SewCalGal for organizing this virtual Pets on Quilt Show.


This is Garfield he is 4 years old and he loves laying on quilts.  This is my Gerber Daisy quilt prior to the borders being added.


This is Nermal, he turned 1 this summer. Nermal came into my life after I had been unemployed for about 6 month.  He prevents me from quilting more then helps me quilt!!

I hope you have enjoyed my entries in this years show.

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.


Ryan, Amber and Josh in the Crystal Cave


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!!
