WHEN THE COLD WIND BLOWS....








Hi Everyone!! What am I working on???? I am making "Love Letters" by Alma Allen and "The Hedge Apple" is the first block. Actually, I am taking a class in needle-turn and this is the quilt they choose. Which I love anything by Blackbird Designs, so am giving my needle-turn experience a much needed "nudge"!

After making two baby quilts, I was kind of in a slump, in what to do next, so this came up and I grabbed at the chance to make a quilt by Blackbird.

Will post pictures as I am working on each block...

Update on the "Baby Quilt" still is at LQS to be quilted, will have to call today and see how far they have gotten,

Many Hugs,

Mary

BABY SHOWER UPDATE AND VALENTINE SWAP


HI EVERYONE! JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU MANDY AND CHET'S BABY SHOWER WAS A LOT OF FUN, SHE GOT ALOT OF REALLY NICE GIFTS AND SHE LOVED THE BABY QUILT. I HAVE IT NOW AT THE LQS TO BE MACHINE QUILTED (WITH CIRCLES), SO WILL HAVE IT BACK BY NEXT WEEKEND...

JUST POSTED PICTURES ON PAT SLOAN'S SECRET VALENTINE SWAP....THIS WAS REALLY FUN, I ENJOYED MAKING A TEA TOWEL AND OTHER GOODIES (VALENTINE'S DAY RELATED) AND HOPE MY SECRET SWAPPER WILL LIKE THEM TOO!

FOR SOME STRANGE REASON MY COMPUTER IS BEING REALLY SLOW TODAY, SO AM TRYING TO UPLOAD MORE PICTURES, BUT IT WON'T LET ME! ANYWAY, THE TEA TOWEL HAS A BASKET WITH A SNOWMEN (BECAUSE I AM PARTIAL TO SNOWMEN) AND A STAR AND A HEART, I GOT THIS PATTERN OFF OF BUNNY TAILS FREE PATTERN DOWNLOADS! IT IS REALLY CUTE, IF I CAN GET THIS PICTURE THINGY TO WORK, I WILL UPLOAD MORE PICS!!

LOTS OF HUGS,

MARY
