Hello Everyone,
My sister, Gail, has a beautiful Calico Cottages flimsy ready to send off to be machine quilted.
This quilt is truly a scrappy quilt and it's amazing just how much fabric you use while making it. It feels so good to put all of those scraps to work and showcase them.
Hello Everyone,
This image of Country Sunshine popped up on my memories yesterday on my computer. I thought it was very fitting for this time of the year here in the Sierra Nevada mountains. We all need a little sunshine in our lives.
I should rename this quilt Mountain Sunshine. The sun has been very elusive up here, and another smaller storm is on the way for a short visit. If I get one more winter storm warning on my phone, I think I'm going to scream!
We took Mazey in to see her Vet again yesterday for the third time this week. She is perking up a bit, but she is still hiding away for most of the day. Yesterday, she actually showed interest in a squirrel as she came out of the bedroom and bedded down by the sliding glass door. She is also eating little bits of chicken and rice in chicken broth.
Our little Mazey was diagnosed with masticatory myositis. The masticatory muscles are the muscles used in chewing. The word myositis means muscle inflammation. So, this explains why she was not eating or barking. She is now on steroids and the Vet gave her a steroid injection to jump start the medication and get it in her system quickly.
So, our early warning bear notification system is no longer working. All of these bear tracks came out of the woods and circled around the fire pit. Then the tracks led right up the stairs to our deck, without a peep out of Mazey.
Today I'm going to finish up everything I need to do on our taxes and get them to the accountant. This has been such a drag and so uncreative. I guess I could have gotten creative with the numbers......but I won't.
So, my readers, you are going to have to be creative for me today.
Soon,
Lynn
Hello Everyone,
I feel that I hit the jackpot this week! I received many pictures of quilts that you've made using my patterns. First up is a picture of my Crossing the Pond pattern that was beautifully made by Jane.
Hello, You will find attached pictures of a quilt I made using Di Ford's Windermere fabrics. I found the perfect pattern in Quiltmania issue #143, "Crossing the Pond" by Lynn Wilder. I used Ms Wilder's alternating central blocks to showcase the colors in the Windermere floral panel. Since I was using Di Ford fabrics, I thought it would be nice to incorporate a broderie perse border along with the fabric border print. I am very pleased with the way that it turned out. I hope you like it too.
Cheers, Jane Waye
P.S. The long arm quilting was done by my talented friend Debbie at Wynnspired Custom Quilting.
The first quilt is mine and I taught this pattern in my quilting class and here are mine and two others made with this pattern. The teal one is not quite finished as she had to order the red batik in order to make the first border.
This is one of my students Heritage Quilt made with civil war fabrics.
Hello Everyone,
I worked my way through the torrential rain and snow at the cabin over the past five days on these precious little cuties which are made with my Hearthstone fabric line.
Hello Everyone,
I recently realized that I hadn't posted my Autumn Thyme table topper in my Etsy shop.
Hello Everyone,
How many of you plan your quilting schedule around the weather? Well, I looked ahead at the 10-day forecast and I'm seeing close to 20" of snow beginning next Friday on March 1st. I can't think of a better way to spend my day than sitting by the woodburning stove and appliqueing my entire day. Keep in mind a few naps may occasionally kick in! I'm preparing 10 blocks to stitch, which means I need to make 40 perfect circles.
Hello Everyone,
Here are just a few snippets of the project I've been diligently working on during all of our storms here in California. The project includes 12 of the applique blocks.
Hello Everyone,
I received two more pictures from quilters who made my patterns that I'm sharing with you. The first picture is Country Courthouse which came from Jan. This quilt took First Place and Viewer's Choice at Happy Trails Quilt Show in Surprise, Arizona.
Her piecing is so precise!
