PNQE and a Wedding

YES!!!   My quilt "Defence of Fort McHenry" made it into the Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza.   My local guild hired a bus to take us up to Oaks, PA for the day.   And, of course I had to get a picture of me next to my quilt.  I was thrilled to see my work hung with hundreds of fabulous quilts.

The Dixon Family has been invited to the wedding of my cousin's son.  Austin and Robert will tie the knot on October 6th in Richmond, Virginia.  While we won't be attending their celebration, I took some time to make matching throws for the couple.  Austin's quilt is white on black and Robert's (folded on right hand side) is black on white.  The material I chose closely matches the invitation.  I'll be sending them off later this week as soon as I find a gift bag large enough to hold them.  Hope the couple likes them.   
What's next for my creative endeavors?   I'm working on a quilt for my door that needs to be completed by November 1st.   In the meantime, I need to come up with a design for the Sacred Threads show next year.
