A Stroll in the Garden

Posted on September 27, 2019 | 9 comments

Gardening is how I relax. It’s another form of creating and playing with colors. –Oscar de la Renta

Kiss of the sun for pardon. Song of the birds for mirth. You’re closer to God’s heart in a garden than any place else on earth. –Dorothy Frances Gurney

*Clicking on a photo will give you a closer look!

Gardening is learning, learning, learning. That’s the fun of them. You’re always learning. –Helen Mirren

MOD Bear Paw QAL Finished

Posted on April 7, 2019 | 18 comments

Back in October 2016, Lorna, at Sew Fresh Quilts, designed and hosted the MOD Bear Paw QAL. I fell in love with her quilt, and had to have it, so I joined in the fun.

I am happy to say that I have finally finished the quilt!

Here it is after finishing the quilting:

And here it is after sewing on the binding today:
