I know, I know, why haven't I been posting since I usually have so much to say? Hee, hee...anyways, this past week has been a doozie I had a cold and had to go home early on Tuesday. It may have had something to do with going to Cooperstown over the weekend. Leaving after work on Friday, getting to camp around 11:00pm and then waking up and going to a Belgian Beer Festival at Ommegang then camping overnight and just relaxing back at camp Sunday and Monday. Or could it have to do with Paul having a cold and just passing it on to me?
While at camp I discovered some beautiful quilts, hand quilted quilts in the closet (yes I'm a snoop). Pictured below is my favorite quilt that I found. It looks like a mixture of clothing and some store bought cottons. Does anyone know who made this?

I am inspired to hand quilt a block just like this, I love the strips and plaids with the red and turquise. Fun.

I was extra excited to discover some puzzles and proceeded to put together this one which if you enlarge or look really closely are cool antique-y buttons. I recently surrendered to a Simpson's puzzle at home, it was just too hard :(

And on the home front...garden is still going good. We have had about 3 zucchini that have gotten this large, which makes about two loaves of bread. The tomatoes are going berzerker so we are saving up for sauce. Having a garden is pretty awesome. I highly recommend it.

I'm pretty sure either my Grandma or great-Grandma made those quilts. And I think they're made of dresses that were made of flour sacks that my belonged to my Grandma and her three sisters. I THINK. I probably made that whole thing up. I had one of those camp quilts in high school, and it came to college with me and, well...something horrible happened somewhere along way, and I lost track of it. Glad to know there are more of them!
My mom can verify all of this...mom?
