Monday Morn

Oh, my!!! This video is amazing and so inspirational. It is about a blind quilter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lfaSmDxVZQ&feature=youtu.be


Look what I did this weekend--another monthly wall hanging. This wall hanging is April Showers. Much of the small hanging is paper pieced--lots of little pieces. I think I have done four of these in the last three years. They are fun to do in a short bit of time. One thing--I never seem to make the sleeve on the back large enough for my dowel thus a tight fit and the wall hanging does not hang loosely.

Oh, My!

Well, it has been a while since I have posted on my blog. It has been that long since I have been in my quilt shack studio. My husband and I spent 15 days of March in Peru. We traveled to the jungle--even had a monkey over my head watching me for a while. We love visiting our friends in San Ramon, Peru.

Here are a couple of pictures of me giving my two friends, Nicole and Kira, a doll quilt. Not sure if they knew what it was. I learned to say doll quilt in Spanish.



 Last summer I posted a picture of a table runner I made for Jack's mother. He seemed to like it and asked teasingly for a quilt for his table. So I made him a quilt for his room. Goofy picture of me but this is only picture of the quilt. Just one more comment. The colors for this quilt were inspired by one of Jack's photos -- a photo of a parrot in the jungles of Peru.
