Got fabric...got book...first nine blocks:

Very pleased.. definitively right choice of fabrics.

I was saving my Hope Valley for the perfect quilt...

this is it!

Here are the "Buildings" postcards: 

 Love everyone's interpretation of the theme.

Thanks for looking!

Farmer's Wife Quilt-along

Well, I bit the bullet and joined this one.

Going to use Denyse Schmidt's Hope Valley, 

along with some solids.

Quite a lot  of people are doing it.

Unfortunately I'm still waiting for the book,

so I'll have some catching up to do when it gets here.
Yay! Book just came in today's mail!!!

Got the towels done for the towel swap.

Received my star row for my Robin Rowers.

We're half way through it.

Animals is the next row, I have mine pretty much all planned out.

I think all my rows look great together!

Got my postcards done, but can't post pics until my partners receive theirs.

My daughter took a great pick of my SIL Bill and 

my grandson Billy at the park near the beach last week.

Cheers...thanks for looking!

DQS #10

Finished my DQS quilt...ready to mail tomorrow. 

Hope she likes it!

I received my DQS from Karen:

I just love it!

detail of bird:

She copied the bird off of my row quilt,

so clever of her!

The label: 

and...goodies for me!

Can always use more fabric and thread. :)

And sewed up a set of mug rugs for a friend of mine:

Thanks for visiting!!

Wondering...

 if my partner will like it.

Here's what I came up with for DQS so far...

Swaps...

I also joined a towel swap. 

My month to do towels is May.

Here's what I received in the mail yesterday from Cindy:

Our postcard theme was circles and/or triangles.

Here's the awesome post card from Isabell, she lives in the UK:

And the fabrics I used for the Robin Rowers:

 Can't show the row yet until she receives it.

This is the row I did for myself:

 and a close up:

All for now....Thanks for looking!

Busy, busy...

Whew! Finally done with my move from NC to IL. 

Still working on getting all my stuff organized, 

nothing like a move to find out how much junk you have, lol.

Last year or two has been rough,

ready for some smooth sailing now!

This will be a busy year quilt wise.

I belong to the 4X6ers, that's every other month.

The Robin Rowers, that's every other month too.
