It has been a busy and fun week, with my sister and nephew here visiting, and even some quilty stuff getting done. Tonight we had dinner with my son and DIL (I like saying that... they have now been married for one month). After dinner we had ice cream - yum! And I gave DIL, Hummingbird, her quilt which was her college graduation gift. Finally got it done, but I say that's not bad - only three months late.


Today's mail brought me this fabulous Giveaway (below) that I won from Vicki at
http://felinesandfibrearts.blogspot.com/ . The fabrics are beautiful, and there are so many of them! Wow! And look at the gorgeous book! That is going to be a fun book to look at for inspiration. Thanks a million, Vicki!

Yesterday sis, nephew, and I went to the local zoo, which I had not visited in years. It has really grown since I was there last. They added a visitor center, restaurant, really nice gift shop, lots of gorgeous flowers (I dig those fabulous lily pads) and extras like a seasonal butterfly house for this summer. We really enjoyed seeing the animals, and it was such a beautiful day!
I have never before seen such enormous lily pads!Awesome!

Zebra is my sister's favorite animal.
I loved the pictures from the zoo. I think the last zoo I visited was the Minneapolis Zoo when I was in town on business 7 or 8 years ago. Our meeting room was there !
ReplyDeleteI love Como Zoo...we go probably 3-4 times a year! We go to the conservatory in the winter for all the cool vegetation!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend
I haven't been to a zoo in awhile, so thanks for the pics! Love the green and white quilt, if DIL doesn't like it, I'll volunteer to take it over, LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt you made for your DIL is terrific - great gentle greens and neutrals with a few that pop. Fun to see the zoo pictures as well!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures and the quilt for your DIL!
ReplyDeleteDid you know that for every foot tall a giraffe is it's tongue is an inch long - 15 ft tall giraffe = 15 inch long tongue!
Lovely pictures of the Butterfly House.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is up on the Q4L blog. Sorry for the delay.
