Thursday evening, while walking home from a local baseball game, my grand children's paternal grandfather died. He is their hero, their buddy. He was only 68 and we thought the healthiest of us all. He climbed trees, fished, walked 8 - 10 miles a day and had the best moments of his life with...

So many quilts, it's impossible to scrap them all, but the International Quilt Show in Cincinnati was just amazing this year. There are two others, one in Houston and another in Long Beach. I used Anna's brushes on this and parts of 2 of her templates. AASPN_CuteLayeredTemplate...
