I'm back.
I thought I would share some more.
Like I said last time, seeing how it's been so long I have a lot to share..... Past and Present
I should start with the finishes, and the quilt shown last week that was getting the binding sewn on, is now done and ready to display next month.
The pattern is Hocus Pocus and I used a jelly roll and layer cake for the pumpkins. Did add some scrap green I had and for the background I used my favorite Kona Snow. I like it because it reads white ...

This was the pattern I chose for my second pair of placemats. I think I saw it called "Cat's Cradle", but I'm probably remembering ...
read moreHere we are again, another month that seem to just fly by. Its amazing considering we all seem to suffer one way or another from the weather.
Here in NE Oklahoma it was extreme heat and humidity.
A good thing because of it I was inside a lot, which meant I was keeping myself busy with projects.
Was pretty successful too.
This is going to be a picture heavy post.

the Spring Fling Shop Hop from 2015.
It turned out so pretty, and next ...
