The second CQ round robin was based on the hymn, In The Garden. A couple of months before this RR started I dislocated my shoulder and because of that I received a beautiful get well card from my Sunday School class. The picture on the front seemed perfect for the center of my [...]
Shown below is the third block on which I worked for the round robin I was in with the Crazy Quilting Sisters group. The block owner’s favorite color is pink so I put as much pink on the block as I could. Of course I had to do the magnolias in white. [...]
Several days ago my son Brian asked me when was the last time that I had posted to my blog. When I told him December 22, 2006, I decided that it was time to get to work. His asking was the push I needed.
