Happy August! Summer is going by but I am trying to enjoy every moment of it! I think this is the summer for babies. My daughter-in-law and niece both announced they were having babies. I was in Billings last week for a joint baby shower for Megan and one of her friends. I am giving Megan a baby shower this weekend. Yesterday I went to Missoula to buy supplies for it and it seemed like I saw a lot of women who were pregnant. Maybe I am just focused on babies! I must make baby quilts! Happy Quilting, Pam

Jelly Roll Rug Friday August 24th This is such a popular project right now. I have not seen a rug that wasn't super cute and fun!

We can all share ideas and techniques and learn from each other! Note that we switched this group from a Friday to Thursday.
