Actually two recent finishes. Both these quilts were inspired by Sharyn Craig . If you haven't heard of her, you really need to check her out. She often posses the question "What If?" If you are into using up scraps, she's a wonderful resource. I am presently working on one of my own, using her methods. I am hoping to get at least...

I have very little in my wardrobe, unless you count ear rings..but I have 4 green quilts, have made 5 green quilts...and working on another one with lots of green. My first quilt is a small yellow and green log cabin. Do not have a picture of that one...at least I can't find...
After a fun filled day in PV we headed over to Cabo San Lucas where we had 2 days to explore. My brother lives in La Paz which is about 2 hours up the coast so he came to the port and picked us up and we spent the first day with him. It was perfect to have a personal tour guide who speaks fluent Spanish and just so happens to be your brother! As I...

"The 188th Montreal St. Patrick's Day Parade is scheduled to begin at 12 p.m. on Sunday, March 18, ...
Day one of our cruise started in Los Angeles where we got on the Beautiful Sapphire Princess ship. We have sailed Princess before and the ships are so similar that it immediately felt like "home" We lucked out and were able to get our room and the girls room on the same Deck ~ the Emerald deck and only a few doors apart. Think the girl...

She went into hospital right before we left but has been progress...
We have been experiencing another blast from Father Winter. I watched it snow while I quilted this little Quilt, which celebrates winter.There is a second batt in the body of the quilt to facilitate extra 'poofy'. I believe this extra batt made for some thread issues, so I changed thread mid stream and all ended well. Apparently I was using a thre...
I had an extra wonderful day recently. I have had a number of them. This one started with "Good Morning Happy Birthday! have wonderful day, here's your coffee" and next to me were stacked new quilt books from my Guild's library. Oh and then phone calls.

Many quilters are purchasing "precuts" called Jelly-rolls, layer cakes etc. I don't recallall the names but I do recall the names to be bakery like. The names are puzzling to me...is it because quilting like other sedentary occupations can be / is girth spreading like the bakery bits or.... well that is one idea, just wondering :)) Wher...
