Sharing

Doll Quilt
Oh Canada!!
You know, Sharing in life is just one of the sweetest thing going! Also, being in the Quilters' Community there is always something going on and ways to share and "meet" new folks! My Swapping Doll Monthly partner for April is in Canada, it is sweet to meet someone that you know is also stitching up something for you too....stitches!!...what a great way to show hospitality.....so my quilt arrived across our northern border today and she was happy....funny how you are lead to make something for someone you have never met and it just seems to 'FIT'....so that is so cool....here is the quilt I worked up for her, inspired by the Grad Photo Quilts I am laboring with love on....the House.....It was fun to make...watched The Masters' while I did the ribbon embroidery. FUN!!  Enjoy the Spring Sunset....YUMMO!! See you in a few! Just had to share that the Doll Quilt arrived! and Oh, how I love mine!!! Thank you Karen!!   Quilted Blessings, Karen
Love it!!
You can not beat an Indiana Sunset!

Catch Some Spring!

Spring Apron!
hanging temporary....blue blue blue?....
 Spring starts with beauty, even small bits of it....Hyacinth great fragrance....yellow daffodils......tulips of all colors....YUM!!  If you could make a diet of flowers we would be at a smorgasbord!  So, since my hub recently built my new open shelving in our cabin kitchen I thought it would be the right thing to do on my part .... add an apron!!....So, there you go....a small project but I hope a useful project and can be worn by my friends and family too!  I want to make some more kids aprons too....
Did you wear aprons growing up?....we certainly did and in my first years of marriage I did wear an apron,....then I got into just putting a cloth kitchen towel inside my waistband when I canned as the kids grew up.....I like both...and I am so glad there has been a revival of Apron lovers!  I have a couple from our kids Grandmothers and also Great Grandmother too.....
Quilted Blessings....Always!! Karen

Busy busy with longarming a very special quilt for a extremely precious girl.....two of them actually.....here is my first one....using Wedding Bouquet on it (she is not dating yet!)
