In the Hive

The kids had a two hour school delay today due to snow - the first one this year! I made the first block of the Debbie Mumm Sampler for 2007.

I started this quilt on New Year's Day. It uses two blocks, the nine-patch and album cross block. I dug into my civil war reproduction stash to make it! The boys think it looks a little bit medieval. It measures 68 X 85 inches.

Such dreary and cold weather! Michael brought me home these lovely flowers. They are called Anastasias! Wegmans had them in blue, pink and peach! Brightens up the house!

I was going through old magazines and came across an advertisement that had a neat block done in 1930's prints. After a little research, I learned the name of the block is Cut Glass Dish. So, I fired up Electric Quilt 6 and did a quick layout! I have two friends, Karen and Sue, that love using thirties prints and I thought of them when I designed this!

I finally got the pictures off of my camera! Andrew turned 16 on January 13! Time flies!

I only have one current project listed so far.... that is far from true! This is the nine-patch and album quilt I have been working on! I have 100 of 108 blocks made so far! The fabrics are from my civil war stash. In other news...it has been getting colder outside, but we have not had alot of snow. Karl and Thomas made a tiny snowman on the deck railing the other day. His name is Joe Bob.
