I love red, white and blue quilts! Over the years I have made a few. Recently I arranged three of them together on the deck railing for a photo shoot. How fun is that?!
I just added another member to the Prairie Paisley Club. Libby made an awesome quilt for her daughter who has just returned home from nine years in the Air Force. I am really surprised that I haven't heard from more of you out there making quilts from that beautiful line of fabric. Let me know If I can add you to the list, or if you come across another quilt blogger that has made something from Prairie Paisley, by Minick and Simpson, of Moda Fabrics. I know there are lots of gorgeous fabrics out there, but this one just struck a chord with me. I hope you have looked at the blogs that are listed. They are great!
My grandkids are still hamming it up, as you can see. The oldest one here loves to take pictures, so finally I will have a great selection to share. Here she is with with her little clone that I call Plumpkin.
On occasion we are treated to a rare performance of original dance, by Plumpkin, complete with costume. Let me tell you, this girl can dance and twirl to any music. But I must say that she prefers Barbie Musical CDs.
We are once again suffering from air conditioning woes in the zone that contains my sewing room, office and TV room. We had a mattress on the floor for two of the kids in the TV room, but it is so blasted hot that I took pity on them and moved the mattress to the foot of the bed in the master bedroom. I had to warn my husband not to step on anybody when he returned home last night from being out of town on business.
All in all, we are having a good time. They go down to the beach every day, and hopefully they will make memories for years to come. When I was a kid we went to Crystal Beach on Lake Erie (the Canadian side) every summer. It was such a treat!
I hope you are making some wonderful summer memories also, and tucking them away to bring out on a cold winter's day.

Addendum: Hooked commented about the RWB quilt quilts. All three are from Patchalot Patterns. (Stars & Garters, Christmas Kisses, Wintergreen-some color changes!) You can go there for ordering instructions if you wish. Thanks for asking!

Love those red white and blue quilts together...like something out of a magazine.
Hi Marcie,
I love your red, white and blue quilts! I think the one in the middle is my favorite.
It sounds like your house is busy and your heart is full. It is fun to spend time with those you love! Your g'kids are adorable, can't wait to see pics of the other ones. When do they arrive?
Ahh, what a happy post from Grandma capturing a special moment in time!
Your great photo makes me want to pull out all my RW&B fabrics and start a new project. No chance of a finish by July 4 but maybe I can get a jump on 2009! Thanks for the inspiration.
I love RWB, too!!! Do you remember those patterns? I want to them for 2009!!!
Thanks!
Love your RWB quilts! RWB are my favorites...being the loyal Air Force spouse that I am! :) I also wanted to let you know that I just started the Patchwork Party quilt that uses the Prairie Paisley line...I love those fabric! I've made a runner from a charm pack too...I'll have to look more at your blog to read about the Prairie Paisley club. :)

Your grandkids are awesome and the little Plumpkin....too cute! You are one very blessed Grammy. :)
Hi Marcie, I love all three, red, white and blue quilts. I think I favour the end quilt with the paisley design. Regards Lyn
Your grandchildren are so precious, loved the egg story! Isn't age 3 wonderful! I love the RWB quilts!!!

Baby! There is nothing like a red/white and blue quilt! I love them! I actually was going to make something with that line and had the pattern and one jelly roll, but needed another and they sold it.
