Today is my birthday! One of my brothers surprised me with a wonderful bouquet made of fruit cut into flowers... I will have to share because I'm not that hungry.  I think it will feed 6 people. Tonight is dinner with Mom. Tomorrow dinner with my other brother. In our family we can make a birthday last a week. 

 

Happy birthday to all of you who also have birthdays this month.

My top is finished in just a couple more tweaks.  I learned that my "sometimer's disease" was in full gear... I made it for the full size bed that I had before the move.  But that's ok, I'll use it as the sample for the pattern and mention that to make the twin size you use one less row of blocks across and for a queen/king you add a row in both directions.  Voila! This old dog can learn.  Now I will be writing up the pattern and quilting the top. That is when I am not wandering around the Columbus Arts Festival this weekend and NQA Quilt Show in Columbus, OH next weekend.  These are great places to kick start the creativity.

 

Happy quilting,

Pati

Hi everyone,

 

The creative juices are flowing so look for more designs in a few weeks.  I'm working on one that uses jelly rolls and charm squares so the only yardage you have to purchase would be for the 2 borders and the background blocks.  After that if you see a must have fabric, get enough to have some in your stash.  Remember I work in PMS mode.  Don't worry, for quilters that is "Pulled My Stash."
