Days of Sewing

With John busy in Prague, I could concentrate on a new technique - Bargello - quilt project.

Last summer Helen had helped me find interesting batiks at the little Amish fabric shop near Freya.

Had to focus on right width and right positioning of each strip.

Still have to add 3 borders, but will have to take my project to the States to select just the right fabrics.

This is a table topper to match John's "Trail's End" quilt.

Serious signs of spring!  Steffi's gift of bulbs!

Small change accumulating in John's office

The core of the quilt - the pattern calls for 3 borders!  Who wants to help me select the batik fabrics? 

 

Totally surprised (shocked!) to receive a package in the mail - full of many colored Peeps!  From my favorite 19 year old journalism student son - Thanks!!

Blue skies at last!

Initiating the New Camera - 1 of 3

John's faithful camera finally "died"; barely made it through the kids' musical;  the new camera arrived in time to capture a few shots of my Valentine's day roses

 

Always and always winter, but never Christmas

Always winter!

A House of Pillows creation!
