| Love these quilts Linda and Carole! There is nothing more special than a handcrafted quilt in my opinion. It is so fun to see how the fabrics and patterns emerge into a work of art. |

| I am painting Christmas lights, holly, gingerbread people, Santa and Rudolph, and candy canes on the first one. I have my idea for the other one, but I think I will sleep on it and see what I wake up with in the morning. Then draw it and begin. |

Working on a quilt for my granddaughter. I decided to cut all the blocks and then do all the sewing. Sometimes I will cut a block and put it together and then the next and so on so I can stayed motivated. The colors are primary colors and each block is a different pattern. Hoping it will turn out well. I want to give it to her for her birthday in September. It takes awhile on the cutting as I an doing it all with just scissors as I can't get to my mat and rolling cutter at present. At least I won't be sewing by hand until I get to the quilting part. After hers I will work on one for the next oldest granddaughter and on until they all have one.
I needed to get back to my quilting to stay a bit sane here. |

Happy Day!

| I gave a crazy quilt demo at the American Swedish Institute in conjunction with several quilt exhibits there. They have 2,000-3,000 people in attendance. It is in a mansion owned by the owner of a Swedish American newspaper at the turn of the century. I love crazy quilting. |

Amy did you finish your muslin out fit done. and your crazy quilt? What colors did you use?
Winnie, I am looking forward to seeing your Apple ideas when your done.
I finished making a brooch pin for a swap, and am working on some other plastic canvas things for a surprise.
Have a good evening.

Winnie, Surprised? Lol. I look forward to seeing what you are coming up with. (:))
I spent yesterday in the garden and getting some yard work done. Looks so much better out there. Painted one of my tables for the porch now that is finally finished I can put the furniture back. Can't wait to relax out there with a good book and tea!
Today sewing is on my agenda if I don't get sidetracked again. |

Carole, have you seen this rose fabric before. I think it probably came out six or seven or more years ago. It is a light weight cotton, with a blend of something. |

| Thanks Carole. I may have found it. I had purchased some and cut it into 10" squares for a fabric swap. Then Beverley wanted to find some more of it. I went back to the local shop to look for it or the company name...nothing. So now I have given her the info and she can search it out now. |

Hello everyone,
I'm continuing to stay out of trouble by keeping busy with my quilting. Did get the second half of Slice of Cake done and sewn together.

And I scheduled a play date with Penelope (My longarm). I used the panto wave on wave! I love the movement!
For the past couple of evenings, I've been working on hand stitching the binding! I do enjoy that part! So relaxing! |

Thanks every one for your kind comment.
Bonnie, looking forward to seeing pictures of your 125th Anniversary State Park quilt.
I continue to keep busy. It does help in keeping me out of trouble! 
I finished Frivol 6 - Vintage by Fig Tree & Co. I just love the soft colors.
Catch you later! Cheers! |
