Clouds above

Do we ever get tired of looking at the mountains?  I don't think so.  So me and Mister went for a drive with the top down on Easter Monday.  
What a beautiful day we had.  Just a few threatening clouds in the late afternoon but after a few drops they quietly went away.  Looking at the Rockies always clears my head and changes my perspective for the better.

The Queen's Birthday is today

She looks pretty darn good too for 85.  Even if you aren't a monarchist she is an amazing person who holds her chin up and carries on and on and on.  Go Elizabeth, Go.

Book Covers




Soooo, I have been busy, my son asked for a book cover for his girlfriend who likes to read her book on transit but hates having people ask her about it...So that means I need to make more of them.  They are so easy and quick.

But take a look at this SNOW.  Yes it is April...

Fresh Quilting

I just borrowed this book from the library - what a pleasure - yummy pictures to look at and a very freeing attitude about applique and quilting.  Malka Dubrawsky gives simple clear instructions to get you going.

I saw this on Blog Tour at Pink Chalk Studio and had to SEE it in person.

Baby Shower Quilt

So have I been busy.  First I drew up the pictures for my Owlet quilt.  I started this in January - a new year's project.  My son offered much help with the critique and he encouraged me to make every block different.  
So this is the final block in the simple story of the Owlet Quilt.  Finally done.
Yeah, me...
Hope you are having a grand weekend and that the snow is melting where you are :)
