Taken in the garage, this is probably not the best way to address this project, but we found glass blocks, drilled holes in the back side (Whichever you determine is the back), inserted a small string of Christmas lights and tied a bow on top! That makes a great night light and can be changed for the holiday or decor you prefer!! And below, three of the banners....the last of 4 banners we started last year. We did spring, summer and fall previously and now have winter done.
This is the other project we did. We always like painting projects and this year we did 3 with the angels, banners and wine glasses. These are to be topped with a small metal encased candle and make a great addition to a table during the holidays.
So now we have already begun to collect ideas for next year. This past Fri and Sat, I participated in a quilt retreat in the small town of Encampment at the historic Opera House. There were over 30 gals who had signed up for several classes and demonstrations. Let me say that this was the first for this type of activity and it was a terrific success! It was sponsored by their museum, one of which this community can be extremely proud! I also get to sew and quilt every week on Mondays in their library in Encampment. Most of these gals come from hardy ranching families and with our great distance from any city, it is a way to socialize and get knowledge about our community. In addition, we get to joke around and laugh a lot! (very important to laugh a lot) A quilting vendor came from Rock Springs..(150 mi.) and brought lots of fabric and notions and participated in teaching a class, a new technique for me and my understanding is that they want to come back as they sold so much fabric. School begins soon and that is an indication that our summer is coming to an end.
