Progress of the week

Good morning to you!!  It is bright and sunshiny here in Texas.  The redbuds are in full display, and the lawns are greening up, with new leaves on the trees.  Although...cold weather is coming again, per the weather forecaster.

Above is a pineapple blossom quilt, from smaller strips than the pattern.  Using up scraps and loving that!

PineappleBlossom.pdf   The pattern is from Quiltville.



I became enamored with a lady's Dresden plate quilt at the quilt guild.  Here are my first two blocks.  How fun!!




I mastered this clam shell pattern; rather I made my own pattern and went on gut instinct!!  These are fun gifts for the gals at work.






The biggest win of the week was to ALMOST complete all the blocks for the mystery quilt!  Hurrah for concentrated sewing time.  I love these!!



Hope you are doing great!

HI everyone!!



Above are my Johnny Jump-ups, that survived the winter!  Hurrah!!


What a pretty pot of loveliness!




I have a few plants in the little garden, and more seeds are sprouting minute by minute, assisted by a lovely rain last night.




More seeds in a big pot!!  Flowers are coming!




I don't know who this heifer is!!  (me)




I am beginning some Dresden plate blocks.




I made a big tote for the quilt guild.




The amaryllis is huge this year!




Lucky is always the best helper.  Doesn't he have lovely eyes?




I just need a binding on this patient quilt.




I am completely done with this baby quilt, made with cherished fabric from my dear friend Annie.




Just a binding needed for this one!




This patient quilt is all ready to gift.



 And this one too!!


So that is what I have been up to, and of course work at the hospital.  Volunteering some too!!
