Was it worth the wait?

So here is my February project...so easy as well as fast (and finished)! I had this done in no time...and have started on the next one...with pinwheels. I'm close to finshed with that one and have the fabrics for the following one...bunnies...so cute!! Let's have positive thoughts on SPRING to get us through these next few months my friends. OK I just watched an episode of Victory Garden with plantings and flowers and veggies....so I'm sooo into May (in my mind)!

I'll be back soon.

be well,

Something new!






I've been carrying a pattern around...back and forth to the shop for months waiting for just the right fabric. I would take it out at least once a week to see if I could find them...nope!


Then finally these from the collection L'Amour arrived and I knew I had found my match!




So what did I make? Stop by the shop and I'll show you...or wait until next time!




be well,




Nancy





Christmas Cats



For those that missed my Christmas cats from years past, my friends didn't want to disappoint this year. This year I was determined however to have lights on the tree! Rosebud felt she had to help me untangle them...some help!





If you look carefully you will see two of my friends checking out the pretty lights! Of course I had to confine them to the basement to get the lights on the tree without their assistance.











Finally another
"live" ornament
sitting
among the branches.


Well, I hope you all had as much fun over the holidays as we did with our buddies!

Civil War Tribute







Many of you have heard of the Civil War Tribute quilt so I thought I would show you the first 4 blocks...5 is almost done and if it weren't so darn cold in my sewing room it would be!














You'll notice "Best Press" in the upper left photo, it is my best friend in this project...many, many bias edges but once you spray and press all is right in the world...at least in my sewing room.

We have a few spots left in this block of the month project. Once a month we will gather (if you can). At that time I will show you any tips I might have for the months block as well as answer any questions concerning the previous month. You will also be able to pick up your kit for the month. If you aren't able to come to this very informal meeting, you may pick up your kit anytime there after. Once you sign up I will send out an email to all in the group with more details.

I know this is a very busy week for most, but do take some time for yourself!
Until next time...be well!
