A Beautiful Long Weekend here in New Brunswick.

We came home to spend a beautiful long weekend with family and such good friends. My best friend from school was home from Ontario for the weekend. It's nice to keep a friendship going for so long.  She comes home every year on this weekend to spend time with her family at their family home in Cape Enrage. My husband and I spent so much time there while we were dating.  Such memories. My son married her niece so they had their trailer there. A huge crowd there this year. It is always nice to see you Norma.

 Also we had two of our grandchildren over  for a night. Such fun. Sara wanted to spend some time in the sewing room to work on a project. We also got to see one of their performance at the Molly Kool kitchen party. Norma was able to make it also. They have so much fun playing guitar,  fiddle and tap dancing at this little show. 

Also we came home to go to a bridal shower for a very special girl. I started baby sitting her when she was six months old until she was old enough to keep herself. I made her this Christmas quilt. 

This is a kit from Connecting Threads. Another beautiful  kit. I put a nice soft blue flannel on the back.

This is Katelyn and Justin. They had a beautiful shower.  Her big day is October 31st.  She loves Halloween. 

Her grandmother made her a black and white quilt called Grandmother's Garden. 

Her mother found this cute Halloween  skeleton bride and groom that sang I Got You Babe by Sonny and Cher. To cute.

Also did something that I have always wanted to do this weekend, kayaking. I wanted my husband to do this when we went to Hawaii. Next time. Such fun.

The bride and groom ended up in the water trying to get out of their kayak. Thanks for inviting me Katelin and Justin. Had a great time. 

So hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weekend. We have three more weeks of camping before we close the trailer up. Where did the summer go to. 

Summer Sampler Mini Quilt

Here is my Summer Sampler Mini Quilt that I joined in with Sherri at A Quilters life. The blocks are 6 1/2" . So cute. They went together nicely. I am not sure I would want to make a queen size quilt but does make a nice wall hanging.

It is really windy here today.  The most amazing thunder storm last night. It was almost like a light show. Very pretty.

I ended up making three extra blocks as they were not quite perfect and after I got them all made I couldn't leave them behind. So I added them which made the sampler a little longer. 

There is a Summer Sampler Mini Quilt Parade over at A QUILTERS LIFE. so head over there and take a peek. Mine didn't make it into the parade as I didn't get it posted in time. The Internet here at the camp ground is terrible and only works when it feels like it. Today is the first for a few days. As you can see I haven't posted much this summer. Not much patience with slow or no internet. We have one more month of camping. Really enjoying it this summer. 

Today my goal is to machine quilt this and make a batch of marmalade jam.
