Friday happenings

Winter seems to want to hang on , it is snowing and blowing here today a good day to sew :-) I made good progress on Darlene's Mystery quilt , I have all of the hour glass blocks made but need to sew them on the center block . I love it and hope to get these sew on today but for now I will share what I have done .

Not the best picture as they are piled on there but you get the idea .
 I am not sure if I told you I have now set up my Mom's quilt frame in my living room , she passed it on to me when they moved to an apartment this summer , it sadly had never been used but I plan on changing that . Here is a photo Bill took of me during a recent snow storm while I sat and quilted in front of our large window , what a perfect place to quilt , lots of natural light and quite a nice view too , even in a storm .

Notice the binoculars on the windowsill, those are there just in case a deer comes into view or a different bird to the feeder .
 I have been involved in a postcard exchange within our guild and I must share the lovely card I received from Annette of In Stitches and Seams , Annette is very creative as you will see .

Isn't it delightful, a little touch of spring in my sewing room , thanks Annette :-)  I have also been busy making postcards but for some reason rarely think to take photos before I send them off , but here is a couple I have recently made .

There you have it , a few experiments and always fun . Oh I also completed the February block for Quilt Doodles , you will see the link on my sidebar .

Pretty simple block but it looks very nice next to the January block the snails trail . So now I am off to have a little lunch and do some stitching this afternoon . Thanks so much for taking the time to visit and have yourself a great day :-)
