A Quilt, A Walk and A Winner


I finished my 4 little basket blocks.  The fabric I used to set them
is a very tiny window pane check.  I am really happy with the
way it turned out.  Now I need to sandwich it and put it on the pile
of quilts that need to be quilted.

Yesterday was so beautiful out that we decided to go for a
walk.  We went out to Metro Beach, but instead of walking by
the water we walked the nature trail.  We didn't see any deer this
time but we did see some swans.  I couldn't believe how long the necks are.





If you look at the far side of the pond you can just make out another
swan.  I think that is why this one was in such a big hurry to get to
this pond.  After I took this photo he flew to the side of the
other swan.

Let's see, I think there was something else that I was suppose to
post about.....what was it.......

Oh yes....the winner of the My Memories Software.

Drum Roll Please......

That basket quilt is just darling, Cathy! How many do you have that need quilted? Love the pics of the swans, wasn't it a gorgeous day? I wish it would stay like that. Not a chance.

Congrats to Sandie, you will love it!

Sweet little quilt! Lovely shade of blue.
Thanks for sharing the photos from your walk. It does look beautiful out. The last couple days were nice here, too.
Congrats to Sandie.

Beautiful quilt! I love swans - we have black ones here and they have been waddling around with their goslings along the river that runs through our city. Looks like it was a wonderful day for you.

Your blue baskets are so sweet, very nice. Love the swan pictures, made me remember going to a place that had black swans.. I didn't know they existed, so it was a double surprise to find swans there.
