Still so many Quilting Ideas and Adventures

Lately, I've spent a good deal of my time browsing via tea cup lovely things.....Beverly Wishing Well    click over and visit - won't You!

But the juices began to flow and the hum of the sewing machine is quite relaxing as the winter weather settles into my home!
The first pic below is the NO WASTE paper piece pattern that is almost finished.... Borders...??? maybe not!   Measure.....

Below is a golden oldie.... tucked away... but I do love the tree... great scrap colors.... would love 12" square blocks.... Maybe the Underground Railroad setting..





At the local quilt shop.... I was awestruck by the colors...and I've never done the Chevron Stripe...
 so here's my start!!!  



and.... I'm pulled towards this 2.5" strip setting.....   I took all of my scraps after bundling and scrapping the NO WASTE pattern....   I ironed and replaced them all OH SO NEATLY in plastic bins.... so....

I hope you are inspired to keep on quilting!   
                           Have a Great Day!

BQuiltin.... always

Mother's Quilt Treasury



"Dear old-fashioned quilts 
with your patches so gay 
You retain all the charm 
of an earlier day 
Like the old-fashioned garden 
our grandmothers grew 
Our love never wanes 
for them or for you." 











A quilt sewn together with utmost care 
quilted with love is a treasure to share.

Hopes for My Children .... To Climb Higher

The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon,

but only to hold a man's foot
long enough to enable him 
to put the other somewhat highter.
Thomas Huxley

Thankful for my Job !

alongside all my hobbies and play things.

My buddy brings late summer vegetables...

Small worries when my blood glucose is elevated.   I yearn to cook and bake.... to perfect my cooking skills.  But as such... my tasting and eating of an apple pie last night.  I guess it doomed me.  I tried to up // adjust my Lantus and my Humalog.   But Alas,  ## 214 am numbers  abt 6:30 AM

I'm arriving @ work earlier.  It's 9:25 and my reading has dropped to ## 72 mg/dl.  A bit of breakfast
