of guilds, gardens and guntersville . . .

We had the most FABULOUS guild program this month! Several of our members have taken the steps to form a Quilts of Valor chapter here locally; Liberty Piecemakers of Huntsville, and we had a QOV program at the meeting, including a very touching QOV award presentation.

Barbara Black, of My Joyful Journey, wrote nicely about it HERE.  Her husband was one of the QOV recipients. Some of our photos may look the same . . . I sent what I had to her so she could enjoy the program itself!
Pre-meeting gabbing!

The QOV regional spokesperson

Barbara, her husband Will, and April Goss, the head of the new Huntsville chapter.

The other recipient, David Aday, and his wife, Sharon.
The program and ceremony were incredibly touching and I think a lot of interest in the local chapter was garnered from it!

Thursday night guild means Friday lake day! We enjoyed a spectacular day on the lake; the weather could not have been any more beautiful!

For me, the sunset shot as we head towards the marina is always the money shot!

Our garden is starting to produce in earnest ... I love having a summer garden!
Tomatoes and green beans.  Yum.  Now to use and/or gift it all before it spoils!

I enjoyed seeing Barbara and her husband receiving his quilt.
Oh, you know I am always jealous of your lake days, and you are right about the sunset shot.

Beautiful scenery on the lake, Denise! So peaceful. So glad your guild is involved with QOV. Ours makes a lot of quilts and also does presentations locally. It is such a great cause, and the ceremonies are very touching. I'm not sure why I just got this from July!! But, I'm glad I did!
