Does anyone know why the box regarding photobucket has all of a sudden been showing up? I get my photos from my computer not my photobucket so don't understand why that would show up. Any help would be most helpful.

Oh I am so tired of helping Mom play with fabric, think I will just lay here and rest.
Bye for now,
Warwick

Look what I won from Dawn over at Spring Water Designs. I won her jelly roll birthday give away! Thank you Dawn for just a wonderful item to win, I just love jelly rolls. I pulled my Jelly roll book out to get inspired for this red & blue jelly roll.

In the last few days I have been piecing all the blocks I received from fellow bloggers who joined in Mellisa's Jo Morton fabric Signature swap. I went out I bought the wonderful book, Vintage Journey to make this quilt. Didn't it turn out great? I just love reading the names & where they come from. I will cherish this little quilt.


Then let me show you this wonderful fall kit that my friend Karen from "Living Life at Leehaven" sent to me. Don't you just love the pumpkins? I want to make this up for my wall for Thanksgiving. It was the sweetest gift & means so much to me. It came from her beloved friend Daphine who passed away, & Karen thought of me when she saw it. Thank you again my friend for thinking of me. I will post pictures when I get her done.
It is going to be a hot one today, but I will be happy in my sewing room with the air conditioner, a cool glass of iced tea, & the humming of my sewing machine. What a lovely way to spend a Friday.
Happy weekend to you all,
Rebecca

Happy 4th of July

Just wanted to wish all my bloggy friends a happy & safe 4th.

Hey all, yes I am still around. Haven't stopped by lately because,
well, I broke my other lap top and had to wait to get a new one . Yes, you read that right, I broke my computer. Very silly really, the other night the cats were fighting, & I jumped up to stop it & I guess I put the computer down too hard on the footstool . The screen flipped back...way too far & broke. It was just hanging there by some wires like a broken leg. Turns out to repair it would cost about the same as a new lap top, so here I am with a new one. Gregg now calls me amazon women. Guess I am stronger than I thought. Always thought I was a delicate flower. haha

So here I am on my new laptop & loving it. Much faster and all.
I joined a pincushion swap at Block Central forum. My partner likes chickens, & I found this cute pattern. It has beads for the comb & feet. Isn't it cute? It has a little caddy on it's back to hold thread & scissors . It is by Art Fabric Studio.
I made up one for my sewing room because the go together quite fast. You will never guess what color I made for myself. Deb & Penny know, yes it is Pink of course. I just need to sew the beads on that one.







Then I made this one too. Very Victorian and feminine.
Thanks for stopping in for a visit, until later,
Rebecca

It's finished

I am pleased to say I have finished my "Over The River" from Crabapple Hill. The moment I saw this pattern I knew I had to make it. I just love the trees & houses in the snow. It was so fun to pull fabrics from my stash for this quilt.
I just need to piece the backing so I can get it mailed off to Mary at Quilt Hollow who is going to quilt it for me.

I have started another one for my brother & his wife, only this next one I am making in reds. I think it will be pretty too. Just hope they like it.

Now my friends who see this are probably saying, " what no pink"? Well, that is for my next stitchery pattern, so stay tuned.

Hugs,
Rebecca

I have been busy

We took a trip to beautiful Monteray because I signed up for a quilting class. I have always wanted to learn to make the One block Wonder quilt. I love how you take one beautiful fabric, cut in up in a special way then sew back together the wedges & you have created a kaleidoscope effect. The day before my class we had plenty of time for sight seeing. We were blessed with beautiful weather.


This is the fabric I started with. I just loved all the different shells along with all the colors.


Here are the blocks together on my design wall. The difficult part is arranging them in a pleasing transition. The goal is to have the blocks blend into each other. I still have some work to do. It amazes me how different the blocks look from the original fabric.
I have to say a big thank you to my darling Gregg for taking me to this quilting class. He is so supportive of my passion, & is willing to take me where I need to go. He had a good time hiking & going through museums.
