The Billings Farm and Museum of Woodstock opened its annual quilt exhibition this past Friday. Janet Pace of Ludlow was one of the quilters selected to exhibit their art. This is Janet's second quilt to be exhibited at Billings. The quilt type, Nick Knack Paddywack, was described by Janet as follows: "In 2008, I finished making a redwork quilt celebrating the cats in my life. Then, because our family has almost always had a dog, I decided to do a quilt in memory of all the dogs I have known. I picked a pattern from the 'Buggy Barn' series, started it in one of Country Treasure's classes, and slowly finished it this year. The stacking, cutting and piecing - or general craziness, as the creators call it - was a fun challenge. I had it machine quilted by Sherrill Gould (Filament Formations), who did some wonderful custon quilting; and now it's ready to be hung beside thje redwork cats."

Douglas asked Veronica to marry him on Saturday, July 17, 2010. She said YES! We are so happy for both of them. Plans will be forthcoming when the lovely couple make some plans. Right now we're all just very happy that there are plans to be made.
We journeyed with the Kuntz's to Mountaintop in Chittenden on July 9 & 10 for a VSO concert, great fireworks display, and very interesting and very electrified home overnight. In adition to a great concert, the fireworks display against the Green Mountains was absolutely outstanding. Kevin and I had some interesting "experimentation" with the lighting in the lovely home we rented for the evening. The following day we when into Rutland for the Farmers Market. A small number of photos are available for the Mountaintop venture by clicking here.
