OFW or Three and a Special Day

This week I stitched three flowers to add to my Vignette Hexagon Quilt. Thanks to Karen for keeping me on track with One Flower Wednesday.



Last Saturday was the “ Blessing of the Fleet” and the “Larry Lobster Festival.” Each year the Lions invite Camp Quality children to town to join in the fun…



The ladies from our Patchwork Group enjoyed making quilts for them and their siblings.








It was so nice to see the smiles on all their faces..
