What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

It's taken me a while, but at long last, I've taken the Christmas quilts down.  With such gorgeous weather, what better to display than "My New Zealand Bird Quilt", made back in I'm very proud of this one, especially as it is hand appliqued and hand quilted, and was designed by NZ designer Mary Fletcher.  I'll let you into a little secret.  The design had a creepy crawly weta together with the iconic tuatara (lizard) block, but there was no way I was going to have one of those on my quilt!

**First know there is a photo you may not want to see of a fish hook in my foot**It's farther down the post but if you are squeemish beware!!! It's after the picnic basket photo**********************************************************************We decided on a last minute trip to Shipshewana.  We went on a Wednesday and it was SO crowded!I'm thinking maybe it was the flea market.  Note to self,

I set up a living room corner "quilt ladder."

This was not on my list, but it was in my plans.

This piece of furniture is called our "white elephant."

My husband made in over 30 years ago for a large open country kitchen in an apartment that we rented that did not have much counter or storage space. 

It has served many purposes over the years. 

Now it is serves to display and store some of my quilts.

Last week's list:

1) Make new covers for the cushions for my outdoor swing ... not done :(

2) Pick a project ...
