I am sorry for the terrible picture. I was being hurried while I took it and I think that my camera was on the wrong setting. The quilting that Linda did on it is just wonderful, as usual. I think my Mom is planning on hanging this quilt. She cried when I gave it to her...lol I'm not sure why because I've given her many quilts through the years. Oh well I'm glad she likes it.
We had a great day yesterday. Both of our Moms came and my Mom brought her friend Marjie with her and all three girls, plus Emily's boyfriend Joe, so we had a full house. Jay grilled steaks and I made twice baked potatoes, salad and rolls. Also I made a blackberry cobbler and Emily made a mayonaise cake and Kara brought a fruit pizza. So....much....food!!!! Lots of visiting...very good day!
If you have a chance to watch the movie Taking Chance on HBO I think, watch it. It's just a short movie, a little over an hour about a Colonal bringing the body of a fallen soldier back to his home town. Kevin Bacon plays the Colonal and he does a wonderful job. I hope that our country really does show the Fallen the respect that this movie shows that they do. If you do watch it, have the kleenex box very close.
I'll close with a couple of pictures that I just took of the walk up to my front door
We are both still off work today, yeah, so maybe I can get in the sewing room for a little bit later.

Oh my. I can't show this to my mom, she will want one too. LOL! That is just too beautiful for words. Great job!
truly beautiful - i would have cried, too! and the walk up to your door is so very lovely ... love all the red and green!
it has rained here for three days in a row and things are actually green instead of brown - not as green as your walkway, though
The quilt is wonderful! Something to be proud of for sure. Love all the flowers.
Ranette,
The quilt is beautiful. Can't wait to see it in person. Sure wish Jay (and you) could come here and design our yard. Yours is very inviting.

Your basket quilt is beautiful... even more amazing now that the quilting is completed.
The walk to your front door is so inviting. Are those Hostas on the right? What gorgeous plants; so healthy and full. My yard needs help... when can you and your DH come and rescue it?! LOL
Your house is beautiful... loved the pics!
Hugs,

Your quilt is just beautiful and your front door and walkway are so inviting. I will be right over:)
Such a beautiful quilt, Ranette!
I can understand your Mom was very touched to receive such a beautiful gift! And, your hostas are just so luscious!! What do you feed them??!!
All the best!

Ranette,
I hope mine will be 1/2 as nice as yours. It is magnificent.

Wow, the walkway up to your front door looks amazing! Your hubby does a great job indeed! My husband is not particularly great at gardening though he does try. It's quite sweet watching him. Once he goes back to work during the week I have to go in and tidy up after him though.
The quilt you gave to your Mom is amazing. I am glad she liked it!
