Graduation Time 06-17-23

The "little" boys I drive to school a couple days a week aren't little any longer!  

Immanuel in the center is 14 and graduated from Middle School on Thursday.  As you see he towers over me now (I have shrunk to 5  feet 2 and a half inches).  Julian on the right is 9 years old and will continue at Golden Elementary School in the fall.  

Here is the John (no s) family at their new front door on graduation day.  Elvis, Immanuel,  Julian, and Mariam.  Mariam is an RN and goes to school to earn a higher degree, so I don't know her at all.  I just deal with the boys and their dad.  They live in the cul-de-sac across the street from me.  :Polite boys, but very quiet.

Quilt from Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection 06-11-23

 

When David Taylor spoke to the Surfside Quilters Guild in March 2013 I could not resist adding this lovely quilt to the Collection.  David's work is impeccable and this is a perfect example of his work.  

"Hidden Treasures"  David Taylor - CO   32"W X 23.25"L

Hand appliqued, Machine quilted.  Commercial and hand-dyed cottons.

A detail  shot of the intense machine quilting.

David changes the bobbin thread to match the top thread creating  a sort of  "ghost" image on t he back of the quilt.  

And the label giving a contact for artist.
