A Finish, Some Fun and A Reminder

A finish is my first finish for March.

This is the Temecula Calendar quilt for March.  It is hard to see in this photo but the X's and binding are green.  I machine pieced it and hand quilted it in one day.  It took almost two days to bind because I was out having fun. 

I started putting my sampler swap blocks together.  I had just enough of the blue I used in my block for corner stones.  And miracles of miracles I have just enough of the red in my block to make a small border and binding.


Now for the fun...  My daughters took me to Painting With a Twist.  Kelley is a fan of Audrey Hepburn so she chose this session.

This is my rendition.  The whole time we were painting I kept saying she should have flesh tone skin and red lips.  As you can see I was all talk no action. However, my daughter Kim did as I said not as I did...lol

Kelley, Me and Kim.  We had so much fun....and Kelley brought wine.

It was a fun bunch of girls.  Me and my gals were in the very last row.  We decided this would be a great thing to do again.  Maybe for our birthdays.  If you get a chance go.  You will have a blast.


Now for the reminder.  Tomorrow is the last day to enter the giveaway sponsored by Connecting Threads for a charm square pack to 3 of my readers. You must enter on the original post to be entered.  Click here to enter.  Good Luck.


This has been one crazy winter.  Snow, wind, ice and frigid temps.  This morning it was -5 and next week it is going to be in the 50's.  I see some flooding in our future.  

Stay warm, keep busy and thanks for stopping by.

Good Day to Stay Inside

Because it is so cold outside.  

I have to share this with you.  It was sent to me on Facebook by my son's girlfriend.  She knows me well.

My husband said this is definitely me.  Lol


I spent a day cleaning out my closet.  I found clothes I haven't seen in years and some that didn't fit then....do now.  Yeah.  It's like have a new wardrobe.


Then I spent 2 days parked in front of the TV.  Didn't feel well at all.  Congestion was back and sinus headache.


Then the sun came out, congestion was clearing up and headache gone.  So I visited my sewing room.  I've been working on The Sampler Quilt from Primitive Quilts and Projects.  It is on there website under free patterns.

I auditioned background fabrics.

I liked it but.....

I liked this better.

I finished up all the pieced blocks, cut the side triangles and started sewing the rows together.  The 3 blank spots are for appliqued blocks.  The pieces are prepped and I hope to get them done this week.  I am loving it.

Stay warm and get some sewing done.

Hugs, Cathy
