Spring in Illinois from Nestlings By Robin

 Spring has Sprung here in Illinois. 
I forgot how much I missed 
the change of seasons and the green 
of everything coming back!
We now have lovely red patio 
chairs and a great view when 
the weather permits.
It is the perfect spot to do 
some hand stitching:)
Inside things were at a stand still
until I could get some cabinets to paint
for my studio. Here they are....
Wait until you see the lovely red
they will become.

Happy 4th! from From My Carolina Home

Has it gotten hot where you are? This weekend we hit 90 for the first time this summer, way too hot for me! Still, it is better than some in the heartland and southwest are enduring. Lucky for us, the mountains do cool off at night, so the mornings are quite comfortable, as are the late evenings when the sun is going down. It is going to be a scorcher today, at least by our standards, so I set a table inside for our holiday meal. We’ll still cookout, but eat inside where it is less humid. I pulled ...

Glory Bee! from Humble Quilts

 

The Flying Geese Quilt Guild was very welcoming! It is so wonderful to be meeting in person!!

Show and Tell is always inspiring. 


Lots of half square triangles in this one! 

This quiltmaker took a basket class with Gwen Marston. 

She admitted she has a hard time with the liberated parts of Gwen's basket class.  But the quilts are so sweet!

I am really inspired by this strippy style setting!

Here are a few shots of my presentation.

in with the new . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

Do you know what happens when you make up your mind to back-post before you current post again?

Nothing.  LOL!

And the longer I put it off, the more daunting the task became.  So, here's what happened this past weekend:

I switched out my patriotic decor that went up in time for Memorial Day (and stays up through Bastille Day—July 14) . . .

For summery, sun-shiney sunflowers!
I love changing out my accent pieces for the seasons.  More and more, it's become mostly pieces I've made or been gifted.  I love that!!  Once I got everything out, I ...

Sunday Chat – Travel, Garden, Patriotic from From My Carolina Home

It has been a whirlwind this past 10 days, as we traveled up to Ohio to be a part of my brother-in-law’s wedding. His bride is such a lovely woman, and we already adore her. She was absolutely radiant, in a gorgeous blue lace floor length gown. Honestly, I have never seen my husband’s brother look happier in all the years I’ve known him. He has found a rare and wonderful love that was so special to witness. Their wedding was a joyous occasion, and we were honored to be a part of it. On the way ...

Wild Country USA! from Humble Quilts


We have been in Wyoming staying on our property, trying to figure out a game plan for moving forward to build here.
I got the binding complete on the little flag quilt.
I thought I'd take the opportunity to have a little photo op before we leave!


For the desert at 6000' elevation we have a array of wildflowers. 
And prickly pear cactus.



Most nights we have had amazing sunsets.




We went hiking on a day the weather was not going to be too hot.




Thanks for traveling along with me! Have a wonderful weekend!

Patriotic Tablescapes from From My Carolina Home

Memorial Day weekend is coming fast, and it is time to dig out the patriotic bin and decorate with red, white and blue. Today, I’d like to show you a range of ideas to set your holiday table for a cookout, or a nice dining room for a more elegant gathering of family and friends. Tables don’t have to be expensive, these sprays came from the dollar store, and the candles are my Mason Jar candles. I change out what is in the bottom to coordinate with the color scheme of the table.

Most of my patriotic tables ...

Oh Glory! Tablerunner from Jean's Quilting Page



I taught a class last week in my hometown on this cute patriotic themed tabletopper. Oh Glory! was the perfect pattern for them to learn some new techniques and have fun at the same time. Most of them got at least one block finished, one got 2 finished. I can't wait to see the finished toppers!

of guilds, gardens and guntersville . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

We had the most FABULOUS guild program this month! Several of our members have taken the steps to form a Quilts of Valor chapter here locally; Liberty Piecemakers of Huntsville, and we had a QOV program at the meeting, including a very touching QOV award presentation.

Barbara Black, of My Joyful Journey, wrote nicely about it HERE.  Her husband was one of the QOV recipients. Some of our photos may look the same . . . I sent what I had to her so she could enjoy the program itself!
Pre-meeting gabbing!

Generations - a New Series of Historical Paper Dolls from easypatchwork

After several years of being a quilt and quilt block designer, I have developed a passion to create mix and matchable figures especially females. This love and desire stems from a childhood hobby of drawing barbie dolls with different outfits. Did you also design clothing for your dolls? 

New Paper Dolls Series

After taking a very long break from quilting, designing, and sewing, I sat down one day and just "doodled" - designing on the computer. I wanted to see if I could create a new figure with a historial flair. After several hours of diligent changes, Quilter Grace was created ...
