It's time for I Like Thursday! Please visit LeeAnna to link up with more participating blogs. Well, my Christmas Cactus is blossoming again! This is the third time since November. Is this normal?? I'm not very good with plants. I did have a Christmas Cactus for years and I don't think it bloomed much more than onceper year. It's very pretty and I love it. I'm just wondering if it's normal!

Here is one of the Mother trees near our laneway featuring in a photo taken Wednesday.
It's still mostly winter here and that's all I'll say about that. I suppose it's appropriate that I'm still knitting my very warm afghan. Here's how long it is now.

read moreThis week I've been spending more time in the sewing room, an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. Cutting flannel. Fun fact, a yard of flannel yields 20 8 inch squares. I can cut 10 yards in an hour. I cut a total of 100 yards into squares! That's a lot of squares that will become rag quilts.
I also have about 50 2 yard pieces stacked to become oversized recieving blankets. And maybe 10 pieces of more than 5 yards set aside for whatever.
Anyway, I cut the last yard of flannel late ...

Let’s Celebrate A Study in Color, Scraps, and Letting Go

This quilt is truly a study in so many things.
First, it is a study in color and how to create a successful gradient. The design moves from incredibly light pink all the way to a deep, rich purple. In between those two extremes are bright ...

Good morning, my friends. I'm writing fast again this morning. We have an early start today because I need a fasting blood draw. Mike is going with me. We'll get breakfast afterward, and then do our grocery shopping. Breakfast will be nice, but the rest of the morning sounds pretty forbidding, doesn't it?
Many miles were covered since our last chat. I got my hair cut and colored. Yay! I feel so much better. After that, I bought some new shoes and retired the previous pair. Also, I picked up some peanuts for the birds and some ...

Ten embroidered silk pieces for patchwork.
Each of these measures two by two and a half inches and will be used with pre-cut one inch petal templates.
They will form a motif identical to the floral pieces in the post yesterday.
As each of those flower motifs requires eight petals I definitely have more of these to embroider.
Welcome to my day during the Studio 180 Design Freedom Rings Blog Hop! This week, a couple of my fellow Certified Instructors and I are sharing some great projects made from Studio 180 Designs newest fabric collection, Freedom Rings by Island Batik for Lumin Fabrics.
The Deb Tucker Studio 180 Design team has created another fantastic fabric collection. This collection celebrates the colors of the United States in honor of this year's Semiquincentennial. It features a stunning array of reds, whites, and blues, along with some of the most beautiful golds I've seen in a while. This collection ...
read moreFor those not aware of the Magic Bags, they are bags of grain (not sure what kind) that you throw in the microwave to heat up - like a heating pad. However, Jill's comment is chilling!!! The smell was quite bad, and I can still smell it on my PJs because I held the bag to me for a bit. The smell is still very much in the bag, and I suspect that when I get home, I'll be shopping for another bag, because the moment it goes in the microwave, it will stink up the place.
As for ...

This is another quilt made with mostly 1990s floral fabrics, with a few newer ones worked in. I also added Kaffe Fassett Spot fabric. It is made of Hourglass blocks with rectangles used as the border.
It is 53" x 64.5".
I bought the 59" wide black and white fabric many years ago. It was nice to not have to piece a backing. The quilt has Hobbs 80/20 batting in it. It was quilted by Robin Diaz.
This finished quilt top is made with all Marcia Derse fabric, from many years of her collections. There are 35 different ... read more
We had a great workshop Tuesday and Wednesday sponsored by our quilt guild. Barbara Black is a quilter from Huntsville, Alabama who travels nationwide (and on cruises) to teach various workshops. We did the Western Sun workshop which is based on an antique quilt that is patterned in this book.
Larissa hat sich einen Quilt gewünscht - das freut mein Quilter-Herz! Noch besser: sie möchte den Quilt selber machen - das heißt, wir nähen zusammen. Bisher hat sie noch nie genäht, aber sie ist wild entschlossen alles zu lernen.
