July
It's hot! The Allium are now all dried out and I still love them just as much.
The SAMQG comes over to have a party/meeting at my house.
To Lowell for the opening of "Threads of Resistance".
My daughter and friend Michele are present.
Friends at a post-opening reception.
Later that same evening I flew to the Netherlands.
and you think your parking spaces are tight..!
A Mandrake?
The Goldfinch, my favorite painting, housed in Mauritshaus in The Hague.
I noted that it has "pride of place" now that it has become famous since the publication of the book
of the same name. Prior to this, it was hung above a doorway in a very nondescript location.
It is now in the same room as "Girl with a Pearl Earring" by Vermeer.
Rooftop view from the apartment where my husband and daughter were living for 6 months
during a project.
A harbor tour of Rotterdam, which has some of the most gorgeous
contemporary architecture. The city was totally destroyed during WWII
The original headquarters of the Holland America Line.
To Amsterdam for the day. A visit to the Rijksmuseum.

August
Home from Europe and back to work on another quilt.
Nests & Vessels #1
a workshop to learn how to make 3D succulents
I flew to Santa Fe and met Tim. He was invited to give a program on
painting and optics in the 17th century at the Santa Fe Institute.
Home again and a birthday....
Tim gave me this floating bouquet.
The garden grows.
I get a surprise package containing several letters my father wrote to a friend during
his flight training in WWII. I was so emotional about it.
It was like getting a bit of my father back! And to read his letters written
as a young man. It was special.
The beauty berries ripen.
Hurricane Harvey makes landfall as a Cat 5 and looks like it is headed straight to us.
We certainly dodged a bullet but everyone knows what happened instead....

September
My beautiful fabric line arrives.
I love how it turned out! Urban Garden drops in early March 2018.
Look for it!
I love this so much. I saw it in an airline magazine.
Jamie and I go to Hamilton MO for the
Missouri Star Quilt Company birthday bash.
It was quite the deal.
Jenny Doan
And, amazingly enough, I reconnected with Lori Rognlie.
I took care of her 33 years ago when I worked as an RN in L&D in Topeka KS!
She just happened to be in Hamilton MO for the event! How crazy is that?!
It was one of those special moments for me. It is a small world.
Back on a plane out of Kansas City and on to Columbus, then to
the Crow Barn for two weeks of study with Nancy.
my "home" for two weeks.
