Catching Up (Again) & Stash Report

Chasing my own tail, it seems. One of these days I will catch up on the 2000+ blog entries I want to read and get back to regular posting on mine.



We spent the week-end up north where my youngest brother, Paul was married to Molly. The ceremony was very nice and the weather was perfect. The event took place at Garland Golf Resort with the happy couple dressed in golfing attire.

Bluebird Quilts is having a great giveaway. Click here to check it out.

I received a lovely package in the mail from Lurline as the winner of her recent giveaway. It contained several pieces of gorgeous fabric. Thank you.♥

The Understudy Pattern Card

Halloween picture in center with pieced blocks around it makes this tabletopper

My LQS had several Halloween samples and I couldn't resist making this one. The center is an 8 1/2" square cut from a panel and then you use the instructions from The Understudy card by Pieced Tree. It was fun to make, but you do have to make sure that you get those half-square triangle units going the correct way. Ask me how I know that. This pattern would work nicely for any holiday.

My hibiscus is blooming in the back yard. The flowers are huge and remind me of Georgia O'Keefe paintings. Our weather has been beautiful!
