Pretty Flowers, Beautiful Scenery...

...and Fabric Heaven.
The flowers were an Easter gift form my parents. We had a very nice dinner with my parents and sister and her youngest, Theresa. She was very impressed that her "old" aunt has a blog.


The pretty scenery was photographed in Lancaster Co. yesterday. My quilt guild went on a bus trip to fabric heaven. First we stopped at Martin's Fabric Loft in Morgantown. Then brunch/lunch at the Silk City Diner in Denver, then on to Sauders Fabrics.

After that we went to Intercourse for more fabric and late lunch. I was very conservative in my purchases, only enough for a queen size log cabin quilt. Great day for everyone.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Lots of green fabric, but no quilt. About 15 years ago, I made an Irish Chain quilt for my son, who was born on St. Patrick's Day. Machine pieced, but hand quilted, it is queen size. I still use it when I visit them in Fl.

There was a quilt show where I work over the weekend. The Garden Patch Quilters arranged a great show. Wonderful quilts and excellent vendors. I got a book that I had been looking for.

Christmas came today!

First, just a touch of spring. A violet that I bought several weeks ago, finally bloomed and bloomed and bloomed.

Finally, Christmas arrived. Santa delivered (actually we picked it up) my kayak. Orange and red, my favorite colors and a paddle, too. It's sitting in the basement now. It is too windy and cold today to try it on the lake. Maybe next weekend, if the weather is good. I can't wait to try it out. Thank you.

Not much has happened

I have not done very much the last few days.
Spent some time knitting. Socks of course. Two more baby hats that my sister asked me to knit for a baby -triplets- shower.
Worked on quilts. Added binding to a full size quilt and quilted a lap quilt.
Spent some time in the hot tub. It was nice sitting in the sun, although it was pretty windy.
I also ordered a life jacket to go with my new kayak, that I am getting this weekend. The jacket came today, nice shade of orange to match the kayak. However, it doesn't fit, too small. Back it goes.

Plans for the weekend- Saturday- workshop with the quilt guild.
Sunday- grocery shopping, BUY kayak, drop off quilt for show.
