Today...

A bunch of this...

several of these...

tutorial here

and THIS!!!!  
It has been years since I've purchased a quilt book of any kind.  I buy myself a magazine for my birthday every couple of years...so this is a real treat for me!  And I am very happy to say it is a great choice for me, so full of tips, advice, and improv type skills for which I have long admired Ms. Amanda Jean!  I am looking forward to "getting to know" Ms. Cheryl, too!
 
Hope your Sunday is happy and filled with people and things you love!

What Would We Do?

without Finish it up Friday?  I had to give that a thought yesterday, as I fretted, awaiting the weekly posting at CrazyMomQuilts.  I was excited because I am always excited, and still a bit surprised, when I have a finish to share!  So I went to bed kinda sad, but thinkin', "Well, it's a lot for someone to do something like that, can I expect her to do it for, like, the rest of her life?!"  I didn't give it much thought in the hustle bustle of this morning, but imagine my sheepish joy when I saw her post this afternoon!!!!  (ahhh, yes!  it was Thursday yesterday!!)

So HAPPY FRIDAY folks!  Enjoy and appreciate all that our blogging friends and mentors do for us, to keep us inspired, motivated, and finishing!!!
Thank you Amanda Jean!  So sew much!!!!  

I finished my "Orange Overload" quilt.  A spur of the moment project I started and finished since being back in Montana (August).  It is a gift for a new friend that I left in Indiana, a "sister-in-orange", as it turns out.  I hope she finds many hours of comfy coziness, wrapped in a funny orange quilt, that is all hers!  I am sure I will add pictures of her with it, once I am able to give it to her....




my handsome, if a bit ratty, helpers! they were the models of patience with their Mother :)



There are a few more pictures here.... Thanks for stopping by!

Saturday Something


If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath:  for it is written, Vengence is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Therefore if your enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink...
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 12:18-21


And quilt on :)
