Another Angle
![]() | |
Another Angle |
Here's a quilt of
many colors that I worked on back in February.
Using lots of scraps,
I cut triangles and set them in rows alternated with a medium
turquoise small print.
Experimenting with placement on my design
wall was fun but it took a while to decide on the final layout.
Diagonal quilting in a dark turquoise thread accentuates the triangle
pattern. The final 40” x 49” size is good for a wall hanging or
picnic blanket.
It's a good thing
I have been using up scraps, because I got fabric gift certificates,
coupons and discounts for my birthday. Let the shopping and ordering
begin!
In life, we all come with baggage.
Mine's just full of fabric!

A Day Worth Living

Share a smile or a
hug.
Be productive.
Express gratitude.
Get some fresh air
and sunshine.
Move: walk, run,
stretch.
Learn or do
something new.
Pamper yourself.
Make time to just
be.
Laugh and have
fun.
Enjoy eating great
food.
Compliment
someone.
Seek beauty in the
ordinary.
Be in the moment.
Find adventure.
These are a few
suggestions for your consideration, however, please choose your own.
“We
are not here to live out
someone
else's idea
of
a satisfying life.”

Tomato Soup & Crackers

Tomato Soup & Crackers |
It seems that I
may be on a food theme for naming quilts this year. I've used the
tomato colored fabric again, this time for a 45" square lap quilt.

Tomato soup sounds
good for this week, since it may be chilly. It's comfort food that I
remember from childhood. I think we just had red bud winter with
dogwood winter not far behind. In Tennessee, these mini-winters
usually start in late March or early April, and only last a couple of days. I believe they're
coming earlier this year.
Strawberry
Winter: late March
Redbud
Winter: early April
Dogwood
Winter: late April
Locust
Winter: early May
Blackberry
Winter: mid May
Britches
Winter: late May
(after
this one you can wear cotton britches)
☀ ☔
If
you can't be in awe of Mother Nature,
there's
something wrong with you...
