Postless. . .

When I'm gone away from blogging for a more than a week, there are a few things reasons why:
1. Not been sewing?
2. Depression?
3. Family obligations?
4. SPRING cleaning!!

So, I have done a very limited amount of sewing and a lot more spring cleaning in the past few weeks!  I did get my Jewels of the Crown done. . . but it's too big because I actually pieced it verses doing paper piecing like I did for the other blocks.  So, I have to paper piece all the blocks due to the resizing of the pattern when I print it - don't know why it does that, but if all the blocks are ending up the same size that is what matters:


And I visited a local quilt show over the past weekend with some new friends.  They were (are) my first class and we all have "kinda" bonded.  The quilts were incredible for a guild  style show.  Wish there was more vendors, but all in all we had a good time!  Can you guess which quilt is my favorite?

I hope to get more sewing in sometime soon.....but now gardening has to share some of my spare time as well.

  4. There certainly was some beautiful quilts there. I can't guess which was your favourite but there were a couple that I thought were just stunning. The black and red one with the white 4 point stars was really lovely. I think that was my favourite.
