Is it over already?

*

Is summer over already? How did it go by so quickly? We did have a good summer filled with flea markets and BBQ's, motorcycle runs and trips to country quilt shops. My highlight was Neil Diamond concert that was my mother's day gift.......ahhh Sweet Caroline...still plays in my head (and my IPOD)

Quilts....well I did the Orange Crush mystery, Burger Queen-Have it your way quilt, kept up with my BOM's and started my charm quilt

Summer for the family brought many hot dogs and cupcakes, lots of laughing and helping each other. This summer was an emotional time for sending a son to the military and welcoming a two year old bundle of giggles to our family.

So we will enjoy what good weather is left, look forward to the glorious display of fall and settle in to a long winter of quilting and family fun.

Finally, the group has finished the Burger Queen Mystery.....Have it your way. I finished mine weeks ago but could not post a photo until the group had finished with the clues. Being the rebel that I am, I used several variations of the Churn Dash block, several colors and added a few blocks with 'accent' backgrounds. I like the way it came out....seems cheerful to me. I have borders ready to go on then figure out the quilting.
