We're back

Well, we made it back from paradise safe & sound. We had a wonderful & relaxing time.
I'm ready to go back.




Love the photo Gregg took of his feet.

This is the view from our room, & yes we were in those cabanas a couple days. The ocean water was warmer than the pool.
Until next time, thanks for stopping by,
Rebecca

Happy Easter

The big black Easter bunny has shown up to wish you a very Happy Easter.
Oh wait, the ears are wrong, hum, it's the big black Easter Kitty isn't it? Ha ha couldn't fool you guys.



It is Spring time and flowers should be blooming & butterflies should be out. The only place I see butterflies is on my sewing table.


We have cloudy days with rain. How I long to get out my sandals & sun dresses.
So in the meantime we are heading to Hawaii where I can be warm.

Happy day to all,
Rebecca

What comes first?

Good morning all, hope you are having a great weekend.
I'm pleased to say, California has her sun back. Yeah, didn't think I would see the sun due to all the rain & snow storms we have been having.
The bones & spirit do so well when there is sunshine.



I finished this table runner that a gentleman ordered for his wife. I have never made such a long one before, but that is what he wanted, guess his wife has a large farm table. I thought the chicken panel fabric was so pretty, all the colors were so rich.
The sqs in the four patch & the binding is a yummy fabric of bright colored feathers. Then the blue & orange fabrics have chicken wire. You can't see it in the photo though, it was hard to capture.



Have a good weekend.
Hugs,
Rebecca

Good morning my friends, one more block for the block of the month I'm working on. I just love this fabric with the birds & roses. It is so vintage looking.
Now below are the alternate blocks for the on point setting. If you see the blue fabric at the top of the photo, that is the fabric sent to me for the BOM, however I decided to make my nine patch blocks PINK. I know you are not really surprised, because this is a for me quilt & pink is my signature color.



Now here is a small viewing of how the layout will look, of course remember my patches will be pink. I think it is going to be so beautiful. The hardest part is having to wait for the blocks to come. Still have a ways to go because I am only on block 5, but I will keep you posted on how it's going.

Thanks for stopping by, happy weekend to you all.
Hugs,
Rebecca

I'm here

I'm here but have been reading what all my fellow bloggers have been doing. I have had some obligations to folks who have ordered items from me so haven't had a chance to bog myself. Also, our storms here have been quite an issue, when snow falls where Mr. G & I live we loose power. So that means, no heat. now Internet, now hot water. My goodness it is a bother.

So, I do believe the snow storms are over just rain in the forecast. If all goes well blue sky's are in our future.
Here is a photo of our back deck during the last snow storm when I couldn't get out of our yard to go to a quilt show. Now that is a disaster.




So today we only had rain, so I spent the day working on blocks from the "Block of the Month" I signed up with at my favorite quilt shopQuilters Paradise
I used to go to their shop when I went to visit my Mother, fond memories. Hope I can get back there sometime, but now that Mom has passed away, don't know when I would head that way. Thank goodness for Internet though.


Anywhooooo-- the blocks are so fun to make & the fabrics are simply wonderful, my simple photos just don't do the fabrics justice. The BOM is called Pieces of the Past. I saw it when I visited the shop & fell in love with it. Gregg told me I should make it for out bed, well, if he liked it, then it was a done deal.
So here are a few of the blocks to show you, don't you just love the fabric? I can hardly contain myself. to wait each month for the next one to arrive.

What a giveaway!
