I continue to be ridiculously spoiled. I had the chance to get together with THREE tatters yesterday but before I get to that....
I have finished 13 motifs for the Quatrain which means only 141 left to go!
So, thanks to the goodness of Diane's husband, two of her daughters and grandchildren,
Happy Bluebird and I got to meet with the
Lace-lovin' Librarian herself! We had so much fun! Diane and Cindy are so generous look at all the goodies they brought (hence the title of the post).

| One of the beautiful 4th of July shuttles, the turtle shuttle, red, white and blue beads, a great scissor fob and thread too! (and the cool bag) |
 |
| Oh my goodness, homemade strawberry jam! | | | |

We chatted for three hours and my elder daughter, who learned to tat last summer, came too so we were four tatters! My daughter took a picture so here we are...

| Me, Cindy and Diane |
It's been great having my husband home and but before he got here, I was able to clean out the "blue room closet". Yarn and thread and more. When she passed away, I couldn't go through my great Aunt Rose-E's things but just put them in the drawers. But after reading
Gina's blog and the story of
Carol Moser, I would like to dole out some of Rose-e's works just so other tatters can see what she did. She loved making handkerchiefs so here are four. She would cut off the corner and replace them with tatting.
And this one, which Diane said must be done with sewing thread, she cut off all four corners and replaced.
I'll do more of Aunt Rose-E in future posts. She was a fabulous model and god-mother.
I made this dragon in April so I'm going to count it toward my 25-motif challenge as motif #6.

And lastly, my daughter and I decided to try to decorate some shuttles that my dear sister found at an antiques show last weekend. Here's my attempt.
And here's what my daughter did:
Well, someone has to make dinner so that'll be me. (I love cooking) Pasta with Thai peanut sauce, cucumber salad and bruschetta - yum.
I love summer!
Latin for today: aestas Minnesotanensis optima est! = Minnesota summer is the best!
(How do you like that signature? Happy Bluebird gave me the info for that!!)
