Naomi does it again

If you know my Naomi, you know that she has been excelling all over the place for a long time. She outdid herself at Quilt National though.

Naomi took one of the best prizes "Most Innovative Use of the Medium" and, just as importantly, sold her quilt to a collector who will appreciate it and take very good care of it. These photos are large files so be sure and click on them to see all the details. Be sure and check out her blog which has many more details: Killerbee Designs

Here's Naomi and her quilt:

And since it's hard to get a good idea of what it looks like without standing right in front of it, here's a closeup:
Besides going to Quilt National and being the proudest set of parents there, we also went to Fallingwater, Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece.
Believe this or not, we're not allowed to post photos of Fallingwater on a website without permission. So if you want to see photos, just drop me an email and I'll send some on! It's a cliche but it was an experience of a lifetime.


 We did get to see the Falls at Ohiopyle and no photo restrictions there. So here's a photo of that wonderful place. People were swimming, kayaking and whitewater rafting. Very cool!

And then back home again to see that the iris are still blooming and the rhododendrons are gorgeous as well. We're having a terrific heat wave. Not too bad if you're in Texas, but up here with air conditioning only in our bedroom, it's a bit more serious.

We're glad to be back and have just a few days to prepare for the next big event, MF and family come for a visit!
