A Day in The Life

Thank you to all who left such nice comments here and on FB about my Alice Payne Quilt.  She and I appreciate it so much!

The blog reader "Quilt Granma" asked about this quilt, so I thought I'd share it again with better photos.

It was inspired by a quilt in "New Jersey Quilts Book" in this photo.

I had to piece the red fabric to get the look from the one in the original quilt.

two prints on the back.

 So important to make those labels!

The catalog "beauty shot".

 Don't worry, coco came out to make sure I was doing it right.

My friend, Barbara S. who co-authored the NJ book, made a beautiful version.

read about here on her blog.

Random things that happened this week to take my mind off the world:

In an effort to control and fix something, I cleaned my pantry (first time in over 4 years....just saying.)

I gave a houseplant a haircut.

I made some blocks from this quilt in Julie's collection.

Too orange and too big.....

better.....

coco had a surprise visit from her gentleman friend (I use that term very loosely) Scooby.

Mr. Starbuck took a nap on not one, not two, but 3 quilts.

Well that's all for now folks.  My heart goes out to the people of San Juan, Las Vegas and anyone who is struggling or suffering in any way.  The world is hard sometimes.
