Quilts

I like these quilts I found on facebook.

I just want to make mindless blocks

and combine them into quilts.

Winter

We are supposed to have 14 below Sunday morning.

That's cold enough to stay inside.

All the college grand kids are coming home by

the week end. Wishing them safe travels.

Yesterday I got the 3 sunflowers done for the

art quilt. Today I fuse everything together

and start quilting it.

Hopefully finishing by Friday afternoon.

Sunflowers in December

 Back to the studio today.

My friend wants a sunflower quilt for a

Christmas Present.

I dyed fabric Monday and made the pattern

yesterday. Now to make the quilt by Saturday.

On such a cold day I get to submerse myself in

warm yellow fabric and create.

Shivering

The birds are out there shivering this morning

It is cold and getting colder.

I added some feed and 2 more suet blocks

to help them during this cold snap

Costa Rica

 Every February My Dad traveled to

Costa Rica to fish. He did this even into his 70's

I kept his box of memorabilia  and found it the other day.

How like Hemingway he was.

Cameras, travel, fishing and full of life. 

He took us traveling too.

2 trips to California. Going the northern route from

Indiana and coming back the southern route.

I remember staying in Yellowstone in a cabin.

The girls were in their own cabin.

At night the bears scratched on the door.

That's where I met Merlin Olson.

I was 16 and he wanted to hang out.

Thank goodness my Dad said no.

I was pretty naive back then.

Snowing

Buntings in the tree.

Puffed up from the cold.

A blue heart in the cold snowy winter.

A perfect way to spend Sunday.

Snuggled inside from the cold

reading a book or two.
