I am privileged to spend the entire day with friends. We are going to the big city, Spokane, to shop and eat together.
To top off the day, we are very excited to attend the Washington State Quilters guild meeting. Ellen Anne Eddy is the guest speaker. I have admired her work for years!
Here is spring eye candy from my garden:

I am offering a free pattern of an appliqued coneflower that I designed in 2010.
The original design was created for a raffle quilt for the Washington State Quilters-Spokane Chapter.
This is the block:
And this is the quilt (the block is in the center of the quilt):
This pattern could be used for pillows, totes, and other projects. I am not including instructions with the pattern. You choose your favorite applique method.
You can find the pattern by clicking on the Freebies tab above the header.

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.
