9 patch quilt in process

This quilt was inspired by Crazy Mom Quilts.
 I am going to see if I can post the picture.... just learning all this blog stuff.

9 patch quilt top finished!

Dreaming about my next quilt project - a greenish quilt for my dear daughter who is going through some tough stuff in her life right now.  I think I am going to do a strip twist quilt with shades of green bordered in a deeper green solid (or almost solid). Scrafter's Retreat coming up 1st weekend of August so I can start cutting strips.

Back to work this week after a wonderful vacation in Humboldt and Del Norte counties last week.

I actually had time to read a novel on vacation. I read Pillars of the Earth and I absolutely loved it - now that is my kind of book! I also worked on my knitted afghan - trying to get it finished sometime this year. A bit of car knitting too on a baby blanket for my grand nephew who won't be a baby much longer....

I was delighted to find my quilt returned from my quilting sister in Seattle who quilted it on her long-arm machine. It came out great - I am so thrilled. I'll post pics after I get the binding sewn on.

My desk at work has been re-oriented, kind of gives me a new perspective....

Starting out

This is a new venture for me. A place to chronicle things I am doing at any given moment...
