Applique Projects...

I have made many different kinds quilts but my favorite kind is appliqued quilts.  But now I'm working on smaller projects and I'm making applique pillows and towels.  Here's a few recent ones.

Just Go! and Scottie Dogs
Today is our first sunny day in a long time...we've had peeks of sunshine but today was a spectacular spring day in the country.  The grass is growing and the weeds are sending long roots down...yikes!




I have put out my red bowl with grape jelly to entice the Baltimore Orioles that will be returning shortly.  I can't wait to have them back outside my window.

We have begun to get ready for our Spring Farmgirls Country Sale scheduled for June 10 and 11.  It needs to warm up a bit more though to be able to paint in the barn...my fingers won't work if they are frozen.

Hope you are having a great early spring and we'll talk again soon!

Take care,
Bonnie

Unexpected Joy...

Another long absence...life sure gets complicated and is going way too fast.  I always say - "It's Thursday again - garbage day!."  Well - when you are retired there are certain things you have to remember or there are consequences....like living with your garbage for another week!

My latest projects ended up being so much fun.  I had a request to make pillows similar to my final outcome.


So now I'm on a roll...pinkeepers, hoops, and more pillows.  Maybe even a journal cover....tote bags...to name a few.  Ha!

Back later with more applique...one of my favorite ways to express myself.

Take care, 
Bonnie
