You asked--Free PDF Pattern!


A few weeks ago I posted Jill's quilt that I quilted. At the time I did not know the patterns name. Several asked if I could find out the name. It is called Rail Fence Pinwheel. After looking it up I found it free on line. Jill said that all the fabrics and including the pattern came from Walmart.



Here is the link for the Free PDF Pattern

Went To A Longarm Shower!



Yeap you read that right!

Inge invited a few quilters for a lunch to celebrate the arrival of her Longarm! 

Here is the invitation



Here is my card for Grace and Mommy Inge

Inside the card I wrote:
Welcome Grace, What a lovely delivery you are. I know you will keep mommy and sometimes daddy up at night. You will sometimes be frustrating, but like anyhthing else it takes practice. Thread is like diapers--you need to try several kinds to see what works. I know you will grow with mommy and make beautiful things.
Love,
Aunt Helen


Inside the bag is a Longarm book along with several brands of thread.
And of course a bottle for Inge, to put wine in for those late night feedings!

Funny how we are blocking the new additon.
But you know how it is all about the quilters!

Inge served us a delicious homemade lunch and dessert.

The view of her garden and backyeard was beautiful!

Inge set up a additonal table to seat all of us. Which I am sure she made the mosiac tile table, with lilacs from her garden and pretty darn sure the greens and fresh herb
dressing comes from her garden too.

Inge (our host) is sitting in the white pants and black shirt.
Her home is like a art gallery and she & her husband also are incrediably
talented watercolor and oil artists..

What Caught My Eye!

Miniture rose in the backyard


A few things that caught my eye this week...........


Hopefully someday I will be able to make these fun Fabric Gift Bags from my stash! There is a video to follow along with!

How do they get so much done????  Well here is a something I do with  23 minutes. I have been doing this for a few years and it REALLY WORKS!

Love this three ingredient grilled chicken recipe from "Pinch Of Yum" . Don't you just love the blog name?

Some magical power just knew I was looking for this List. This came just in time for those summer days on the beach or on the back deck. Wahoo!

Chrissie D has a great tutorial on how to clean your rotary matt. Mine is starting to look a bit shabby.
