Blame Arthr

Not much going on lately and it is all Arthr's fault. I'm sure many of you know Arthr personally, and are none to happy with your relationship. He used to visit Mama on a regular basis and she would always say she was spending her days with Arthr and her nights with Ben. That pretty much discribes my life right now. With that said, the little I have managed to accomplished awaits further consideration. I have cut two projects from the patriotic fabrics. Here is #1...

followed closely behind by #2.

I'm keeping their final destination secret for now. Before Arthr arrived I managed to get this little quilt put together and have gotton some of the applique done. It is a slow process but I love it and it is lots of fun. This is the kit I bought in Amish country.

I hope you all have a great day and Arthr stays far away from you.

A Quilt to Share

I love this quilt. The fact that I love green helps, but I think it is awesome. It was made by my sister and she will donate it to charity. It makes her feel good and it will make a child somewhere feel good, and warm. Life is good.

Red, White and Blue

Patriotic fabrics for our country's birthday. If you look closely you will see that the top red is printed with USA, the second with stars. The white also has stars and the blue the same USA as the top red. There is enough fabric for more than one project. What shall I make first. Only time will tell.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA
