Hello! I will start with my sad news first. We helped COCO over the rainbow bridge on February 28th.
She was born on Christmas Day 2009. She always loved the snow!
She loved the February blizzard!
A friend gifted my this sweet figurine. I've been very sad as you can imagine. She was a constant companion for over 16 years. I will add more photos at the end.
I made a dolly quilt for Diane. I've been making them for about 20 years. Here is this years quilt. A simple 4 patch with brown and red.
Nutmeg got in on the fun (bribed with a few treats).
I made a protest quilt in response to the ICE killings in Minnesota. This was a human thing, not a political thing.... 
It is all paper-pieced and took me a long time! It still needs quilting.
I have completed all the blocks for my Semiquincentennial and in the process of piecing it all together.
We sailed away to the caribbean on our favorite cruise line: Holland America. We were sailed on the Rotterdam, a new boat to us.

Holland Private Island. The water was amazing!
I even found a sewing machine on board! They have a lot of interesting art pieces centered around music.
If you're still scrolling through, I have FINISHED my eagle quilt top! woo hoo!
I think it was on 2025 goal list.
Part of the backing. Isn't it great? Wendy and I found it in Portland. It is an Alexander Henry print.
Signs of spring at long last. Daffoldils.
Thanks for the visit and for all of your kind comments on FB and Instagram about my Coco.
Until next time,
xoxo
