Award-winning quilt

Molly Culp, of Waco, is shown with her quilt, “Autumn Serenade,” which won the Longarm Machine Quilting Award at the 2011 American Quilter’s Society Quilt Show and Contest in Paducah, Ky. The quilt took about three years and nearly 300 hours of quilting to make.

 

Seeing off the shuttle

Bradley, Melissa, Caitlin and Kendal Phillips, Phil Mott (center), and Yvonne and Charles Mott traveled to Cape Canaveral, Fla., to see the last launch of the space shuttle Endeavor on May 16. The Endeavor carried the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) to be installed on the International Space Station. Phil Mott, the son of Charles and Yvonne Mott, of Robinson, is the project manager for the AMS, which he has worked on for 12 years. He is a graduate of Robinson High School and Texas A&M University.
