Summer is history and Fall is coming fast. I hope everyone has had a great summer with memorable moments to help us through the winter to come. Summer is always a busy time around here. Travel is always fun and I have been to Colorado to see the grandkids and a ride to Maine on the motorcycle to visit my Motor Maid family. The mountains were magnificent as usual and the kids are getting bigger and more grown up, almost adults now. And Maine has the most wonderful lobster..yum. In between travels I did manage to get a lot accomplished though. It has all been posted to the site now.

Fabrics - Jinnys Beyer's new Hermitage stripes are here. Four clear toned colors with a unique scrolled pattern.
Splendor from In the Beginning in three colors and several from Timeless Treasures and Hoffman.
Also Two novelty stripes from Blank - Hoppy Days, and MIsty Harbor.
