Every Time I Try to get out They Pull Me Back In

The typical comment whenever someone enters our house for the first time is….

“Oh, I bet your house is FESTIVE during the holidays!”

Translation, “ You really like RED!”

I had the best intentions of steering my color choice in a new direction, 

and finding just the right blue for the border, 

BUT when the fabric shop employee said, 

“you know RED will really make that quilt pop”, 

what could I do, and she had never even set foot in my house.

Now on to my least favorite thing – stretching.

I’ll be on border patrol for awhile

but luckily life just got a whole lot easier. After 50 years I’ve given up using my sister’s toy draw a cartoon from the 1960’s and purchased a real light box. With my trusty Morgan Soapstone and washable graphite markers and a good fabric eraser transferring sunflowers to the provincial quilt was a snap. Now on to the King Oriental…..

February Challenge Block Completed

Okay so I cheated, I topped stitched by machine, but hey I'm old and my hands hurt too much for any kind of handwork, but I am ahead of the game. The Challenge is always going to be on or around the 11th of each month.

Now back to my French Quilt......
