Quilt Blocks - Continued

I haven't been completely happy with these blocks. I like them individually but not when I put them together as a quilt. I even tried sashing between blocks and that didn't quite do it for me either.

So I've started cutting them into quarters and reassembling the blocks. This is working out much better. And I like the overall effect too.

It's very hot and dry here in Tennessee right now. It's nice to spend the day inside sewing. I love it when I can have days like this.

Have a great week.

Quilt Blocks

I am having the best time making these quilt blocks. I have nine or ten made. I'm not sure if I'll use them all in the same quilt or not. We'll see. I always start with a plan, but along the way things change. :)!

I need to get back to the sewing machine now, though.

Have a great day.

Handmade Cards

Isn't this card beautiful? I love it. Last week, I wasn't feeling well. An ear infection of all things. HUH!? What? I felt like a two year old. So my friend Maxine made and sent me a couple of cards. What a treat. This is my favorite. I love everything about it - the colors, design, words by Rumi. I actually plan to frame it.

Among her many talents, Maxine is quite an accomplished calligrapher, and as you can see below, she has quite a sense of humor as well. Vincent arrived early in the week.

One of the great things about Maxine's cards is that her envelopes are as much fun and as beautiful as the cards....and she always has the best stamps! I love it when I am the beneficiary of her work.

Have a beautiful week.
