The Spring Air

Spring is a time of fresh air, i love the warm sun with the breezes. One of the things i look forward to do from spring through fall is hanging wash/fabric on the clothes line. Today i have fabrics on the clothes lines, because of the breeze they dry in about 15 minutes.

For all Quilters & Sewers

Dot to Dot

When i was a child we use to do dot to dots all the time. Research has shown that doing these are good for the brain. Today they make them anywhere from easy to complicated. The dot to dots are made not only for children but they make them for adults too.  They have dots that you do from north south east west directions, alphabet, numbers up to 2000 or more, two pages connected, arrows ect...and they list goes on. They are fun to do and some are very challenging(at least for me)

Enjoy!!

1847 Baltimore Bride's Quilt

My husband bought this kit for me two years ago. I don't work on it all the time. The pattern is from Lake View Primitives.

I just finished this block.

All the blocks are done by hand with the blanket stitch. The fabric is wools on top of black flannel. I love working with the wool and flannel.

Here are some others blocks i have finished:

I only have three blocks to go :)

Oh Happy Day!!

A Good Read

I am one of those people that have to hold a book in my hand and turn the pages. I tried the computer or the nook and i just couldn't do it . It was not the same. 

I love to read books that catch my attention from the beginning.

I like reading , non fiction, history, quilts, people, and fiction/history.

 My favorite authors are Jennifer Chiaverini, Beverly Lewis. My newest find is Ann Hazelwood. I read her fist novel in the East Perry Series it was really a good read and I can't wait for her next book in the series to come out. 

The one book that i learn from everyday is The Bible: I do bible studys and it helps me in my faith. The bible can be read a 100 times and every time you read it you learn from it. God is good!!!

Until next time

Happy Reading
