Artichoke blooming time 2009!!

It is heating up here in Arizona
but we still garden, just with more water and more sunscreen.

Me with a trash can full of greens for
the compost.

Another Small Project!!

It can't get any easier than this!!
I cut these hearts out of fleece with my
little die cutter and hand appliqued
them onto flannel.
Made this into a simple 12x16 pillow with an
envelope opening in the back.

English Paper Piecing or A Fun Thing To Do!!! 5/8/2009

I recently joined a quilting group online.
It is so much fun and it is motivating me to finish this
project that I started last year.
I love English Paper Piecing and this is something
Sophie and I do together.

I made these flowers last year because I loved this fabric so much,
it is Bound to the Prairie by Moda fabrics and I only had a Charm Pack.
Now….what to do??
I am a little intimidated by all of the beautiful projects posted
by the online group
but I am going to try and move forward.
Please forgive my messy basting,
I had no idea I would be posting them on the Internet,
I have a tendency to over baste.


I am thinking about doing something like this with my hexagons
although it is not the traditional thing to do.
