Things go better...

Let's cool off a bit with this. It's a lovely piece of history in Elizabeth City NC...sign painted on a brick wall of a building.

Growing quilt

I have some more pictures of the "growing" quilt I'm working on. The first picture is going to be part of the middle of the quilt. The second one shows the fabrics for the flowers I'm going to applique in the middle of the borders. The third picture shows the blocks from my group. And the last picture is how the quilt will look when put together. Notice the applique is complete except for the circles around the stems. I still have the outside borders of hourglasses to put on this quilt and the corner blocks. That's another picture for later.

He brings roses

He still brings roses. These are for our 41st anniversary today. He's a keeper for sure! Love you Honey!

Quilt in progress

Here are my finished hourglass blocks. Out of camera view are 6 sets of 6 blocks. Each quilt will have 88 hourglass blocks in it. There are 6 of us making this quilt. More progress to follow.

New quilt project

I'm starting a new project. My quilt group is going to make the quilt on the front of this magazine. There are 6 of us making this and we are all combining our fabrics for a "scrappy" quilt. Here are some of the fabrics we are using. We are dividing the quilt into 6 parts that each of us are making. Then we are combining the parts for an instant quilt. 4 of us are making the entire borders, one member is making all of the Ohio stars, and one member is making all of the small hourglasses in the midde of the quilt. We each are doing our own applique. Deadline is June 19th for the borders, Ohio stars and small hourglasses. This should be a fun and great looking quilt! I'll show more as the work progresses.
