My destination is the Minnesota Quilt Show in Duluth, but my first stop was at Grandpa and Grandma McNutt's in St. Ansgar, Iowa. While I'm working in the APQS booth with Karen McTavish, Henry, Goldie, and Virginia will be having a mini-vacation! If today was any indication, they are going to have fun while I'm away.
About 3 blocks from my folks is the elementary school playground. Great equipment to climb and slide on. Goldie and Virginia headed to the tallest slide immediately. Without an ounce of hestitation, both girls went up and down numerous times. Loving it!

Henry was having fun pushing me on the merry-go-round. He'd run and run and run, then jump on. 
I've been learning more about the video features of my camera. So, I thought I would show you this snippet of Virginia.
Watching kids be creative is almost as fun as being creative myself! Last night was our first session of VBS (vacation bible school). Our theme is Camp E.D.G.E. and we're following the star to help us from getting lost. The older kids did thread art. 

While the younger kids used playdough to make their stars. 
But the excitement of the night was during snack time when a tooth was lost! (This is Shay, half of another set of identical twin girls in our church.)
I must also show the appropriate attire to wear at Camp E.D.G.E. Perfect for the eXtreme sports we're doing! I'm sure you'll all know who is wearing them.








Cutting two quilts at once is efficient, but it seems like I'm cutting and cutting and cutting. 
When I start sewing, it'll seem like I'm sewing and sewing and sewing.
And, in a flash two black-and-white quilts will be done. Right?
