Washington State Quilters – Spokane Chapter

Posted on July 2, 2012 | 4 comments

I have finished my contribution for next year’s Washington State Quilters – Spokane Chapter (WSQ) raffle quilt.

My original block is in the lower right hand corner of the quilt. It looks like this:

You can find a free PDF for the block by clicking on the Freebies tab above my header.

Here is my contribution to the next raffle quilt:

All three blocks are 6-1/2″ square.

The first two blocks are paper-pieced. My big tip for paper-piecing…cut a piece of fabric bigger than you think you need!

Now that’s done, I can either pull a weed or two between thunder storms, or I can alter a pair of shorts for my sister. I can’t say that I’m eager to do either, but the good fairies don’t seem to want to them either.

Manito Park and Botanical Gardens – Part 3

Posted on June 18, 2012 | 6 comments

I’m hold up in a motel in Ely, Nevada. It’ll be another long driving day tomorrow (Moving Mom from Yuma, AZ to Spokane, WA.). And then one more day to get the U-Haul unloaded and Hubby and I drive another 2 hours to home. We should be home by Tuesday.

You can see the Part 1 of Manito Park here and Part 2 here.

How about a few photos from the Conservatory at Manito Park? And then I’m going to bed. I’ll be on the road again by the time you see this post.

Manito Park and Botanical Gardens – Part 2

“There is a little plant called reverence in the corner of my soul’s garden, which I love to have watered once a week.”- Oliver Wendell Holmes

I am at the Phoenix airport and have some time, so I can edit more photos. By the time you see this post, my Hubby, myself and my Mom should be on the road. We’ll be driving back to Spokane (moving Mom), so I don’t know that I’ll have another opportunity to post for a few days.

Enjoy these photos from yesterday’s visit to the Japanese Garden at Manito Park.
