Webshots Being Replaced with SMILE
Webshots is going away as a free subscription to be replaced by SMILE. SMILE is going to be subscription service only. I don't mind paying but $30 a yr is twice what Webshots charged. If you have photos you wish to keep from free Webshots you need to move your photos.
There are a number of free picture hosting sites. You can request zip file(s) of all your precious memories.

8th Annual Blennerhassett Quilt Show
The eighth annual Mid-Ohio Valley Heritage Quilt Show, sponsored by the Friends of Blennerhassett.
Area quilters exhibited their quilts, quilted wall hangings and quilted wearable fashions. Quilt categories for entries include: bed quilts (hand and machine); wall quilts; crib quilts; duet quilts; group quilts; antique (pre-1950) quilts; quilted fashions; and other.
Awards were given for Best of Show for hand-quilted and machine-quilted, People's Choice and Superintendent's Choice.
Approximately 80 pieces were displayed in the quilt show, organizers said.
This is the third year Parkersburg resident Brenda Wentzel displayed her sewing machine collection at the Blennerhassett Museum as part of the quilt show. Wentzel has been collecting sewing machines for about 15 years, including items from the late 1800s up through the 1970s, with a wide range of toys and actual sewing machines.

Seaport Harbor Quilt (HST)
I've entered The Quilting Gallery's triangle quilt contest. Yep you got it ... I'd love for you to vote for ME. Go HERE to vote.
I made the full size quilt (90x90) for our DD#2 and new SIL for their guest room. SIL, Greg, is a collector of lighthouses. I quilted in sea shells and water for motion.
Backing
Instead of making shams I made 2 sets of pillowcases which are reversible. The three (3) below plus a set which match the backing.
To complete the look I made a valance from the backing fabric to finish the room.
Thanks for looking and thanks to all who vote for me.

Quilts off to Japan
Several weeks ago I posted about Quilters Newsletter collecting Quilts for Japan. I had several kiddie quilts made up for emergency. I selected 7 quilts and sent them off.
Quilts have started to arrive by the boxes and boxes. I hope that my small contribution made it to Quilters Newsletter offices in Colorado.
