WIP Wednesday and you know how it goes

It is a raining day here on the east coast , seems I am always saying that lately but we actually have had some incredible warm weather lately with beautiful sunny skies and today we are making up for it ;-) I don't have a lot to report on progress this week , I have been otherwise preoccupied but I did a little landscape postcard for a 5th anniversary for the Val Hearder landscape group on yahoo .
This was made using hand dyed fabrics I purchased in Mabou ,kind of fun to do. I also did a few more Christmas postcards but did not take a photo so you will have to take my word for it.
 Now for the rest of my title , "you know how it goes" well I have many favorite blogs I love to visit and recently I was visiting with Raewyn  and she was showing us her delightful little quilt which she had displayed for a little mini quilt show over at Taryn's blog and you just know I had to check this out as I love mini quilts . Well I discovered a lovely blog , had never been there before and now I am a happy follower so thanks Raewyn for introducing me . I am going to enter this little quilt into her mini quilt show as it is one of my all time favorite mini quilts I have made so far .The basket quilt was a free pattern on Temecula Quilt company ,it was a really fun quilt along project.
The little quilt is now in my childs cradle that I had as a small child along with a rag doll I made some years ago . You should head on over and see all the wonderful little quilts that have joined in on the mini quilt tour so far.
I am linking up today to the Needle and Thread Network ,thanks for stopping by and have yourself a wonderful day .
 hugs Sheila

  17. What a lovely landscape! Nice choice on the fabrics. What size is that mini quilt? It looks quite small, duh, mini, right? But making blocks that small must have been rather challenging.
    Enjoy your day,

  18. Hi Sheila - just catching up on my reading after a few days self control!! Love your two minis - both so different; I've never tried a landscape quilt but figure they must be a fun little thing to do? And your Temecula baskets is gorgeous - how nice that you still have your cradle from when you were young(-er!!), they look great together don't they?
