Donna Pea. Great blocks for your Sylvia. I am so partial to the blue ones. Donna, no, I'm not using a Quilt of Valor Design. I just finished hosting a Red/White/Blue 12.5 inch block swap. I am making a quilt out of those blocks plus blocks my mother and I added as well.

AuntJo, Your Mariner's Compass block is stunning. And, your Chain Link is just gorgeous also. Lots of progress being made.

Thanks Macybaby for the info. I now remember googling the "Catch Me If You Can" Quilt. I can't wait to see yours finished. You do Gorgeous work.

Great photos Anael. I just love hearing your tidbits of history. It really makes your part of the world come alive.

Thank you Judith. Not every photo has such a story as you know. I love this type of history too. Last year we biked in the northern part of our country. We saw a lake which turned out to date back to the ice age.......go figure!!!

Lovely blocks DonnaPea!! Purrrrrrrrrrrr purrrrrrrrrrrrr

Hi ladies,
I haven't written here for ages, but have been following you all, and what FANTASTIC work you are all producing ! Such lovely colours, workmanship and all very inspiring. My life has been busy - having had a total hip replacement 9 weeks ago. My goodness what a wonderful result that has been, the pain has gone and I feel so much better. I wish I had realized how bad it had become and sought help a while ago ! Also our youngest DD had given us a beautiful grandson last Thursday. He weight 8lb 14ozs and is such a cutie. Not a lot of finished projects but a lot in the pipeline. I have made 4 table centres from Jenny Doan at Missouri Star Quilting Co. called Checkered Dresden Plate.

Keep up with the stunning work and best wishes to those of you moving homes.

Hi Dotty, so good to see you again!!!!
Yes, in hindsight we should have done it earlier but who knew!!
Congrats on your grandson. Where would you have found the time to finish projects? You have a new hip and a new grandson, you're busy enough

That's a great pattern and of course I see it all in brights hahaha. Thanks for the link!

Beautiful blocks AuntJo. I just love the colors your working with.

Very pretty blocks, Auntjo. You have some nice fabrics! Here are 2 fairly simple ones I did yesterday. Slowly but surely...

Pretty blocks DonnaPea. I'm sure the simple ones are a nice break in between the more involved ones. Especially on this small scale.

Anael

Ahhhhhh eye candy!!!! Thank you ladies!!!!!! Beautiful blocks!

I went for a short ride today. Here are two photos.

That blue butterfly is a European oak leafroller. The flower it's sitting on is a Jasione montana (don't know the English name)
