a challenge

One of my local quilt shops is having The Savage Quilter 2011 Challenge.  I picked up the fabric yesterday and it is delightful : )   There are 19 fat eighths of a variety of fabrics by French General for Moda.  I am now tossing ideas back and forth in my mind and I will begin soon, as long as Tiger will let me!

fireworks from front yard

We decided to sit in our front yard last night instead of going to our usual spot to watch the firework display in our neighborhood.  It was so lovely with the moon sliver sitting to the side taking part in the beauty of the night : )  My camera doesn't take the best pictures at night, but I caught a few pretty fireworks that I will show you!

It was wonderful.....and we didn't even have any mosquitos to bug us....glorious!

On a quilting note, Lily's Quilts is having a wonderful giveaway from the Fat Quarter Shop.
