Sneak and Shoo-Fly...

I just now finished piecing the poppy quilt top...loving it!  My helper isn't here today, so I had to lay it out on my bed in order to get a few shots of it.  Measuring 72 x 84 inches, it has 21 Rubik's blocks and 21 blocks of the prints.  I chose to use the 7 fabrics from this colorway only, so there are definitely repeats.

I still need to put the backing together and decide on pillow covers and curtains.  All in due time.

I finished last week's Block 6 for the hand-pieced quiltalong with Erin.  Here it is...Shoo Fly (actually, 4 of them together in one 6 inch block).

 

Our next block also has a bazillion pieces.  I'll be working on that one throughout this next week.  

The sun is shining brightly today...on this first day of Daylight Saving Time.  I am happy.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."     Jeremiah 29:11

Doodling...

Hmmmm...it's been a bit since I've posted. My computer has been giving me some problems, so it's been difficult to do much of anything. ACTUALLY, my satellite speed internet is what has been giving me problems! Apparently, there is a 'fair usage policy' that restricts one to a specific amount of uploading/downloading and I was well over the limit. So, they restricted my usage and SLOWED my speed down. Holy Schmoly! But, all is back to normal now...whew.


I am so happy that it is almost spring...even though we may have some cold days and more snow, at least I know that it won't be here forever. I tell ya...this winter has not been kind to me. More good news...daylight saving time begins this weekend.


I took this photo just now...about 5:30 p.m....where a month ago it was dark, now the sun is low and about to set. Next week, it'll be even better! I am most definitely a 'daylight' loving person. More energy flows through me when the sun is out, that's for sure!




Lots coming up...my sister Jill is coming for a quick visit tomorrow. She's coming to Madison to hear Steve Earle, and will come by way of Stoughton (quite a bit out of her way) to give me my birthday gift! Looking forward to seeing her!


My Mom's husband, Ray, is having surgery next week...he has stomach cancer...so I will be spending several days in Eau Claire with Mom. Will get to spend some time with Janer...so I am looking forward to that. The only thing is the surgery is quite a major one and Ray has multiple problems. Please keep him in your prayers.


Tag is definitely stoned on his phenobarb...poor thing. He's functioning fine...just a bit off & unsteady on his feet at times. He's adjusting, though, so that's good.


I've been working on my New Life Challenge rug and some stitchery. I'll show photos of my finished projects soon.

Happy Weekend!
