Here's another blog post with nothing cohesive going on!
I prepped a couple of wool applique pieces for when I have company this weekend. It is so easy to pick up and whip stitch down while visiting.
I did this practice piece a while ago and didn't plan on showing it. I want to put something in the center block of the Beyond the Cherry Tree. I have a poem I'd like to put on but my writing looks terrible. (you can see the start of the poem on the upside down part) Even when I am copying it with the writing underneath it still isn't pleasing to my eye. I do think I will use the simple scroll that is at the top of this practice piece and just sign my name and date. Any suggestions? Ideas? Hints? Tips?
This lovely card and wonderful red, white and blue reproduction fabric came from Dawn at
Collector With A Needle. I met her at the Russian Tea Room in NYC (for the red and white quilt exhibit) and almost directly afterwards she started her blog. I've enjoyed it so much. Thanks Dawn!
The truck was full of bark.Porter didn't want to miss an opportunity to go for a ride so he decided he would get comfy on top of it.
I mentioned we had been sprucing up the beds in preparation for my niece's graduation party. Company starts to arrive tomorrow, big party and open house on Friday, graduation ceremony on Saturday. It will be fun with lots of people, lots of food and lots of celebrations!!
