Today has been a good day! I finished 3 blocks to contribute at a friend's quilt plus I have been working on a Lori Smith block in wool. I really love working with wool, the only thing that bother me is that it can't be washed... So it will be only used as a display quilt... But it is so nice! Love it!

I have been quilting yesterday and worked on a very cute one called Kittens tale by Linette Anderson, the top was not completly done but she needed it to be quilted quickly so she will finish it later...
And a friend of mine just had a baby boy so I decided to put together blocks I received from a swap, and it turned out to make a beautiful baby quilt. I hope she will love it! And I think I never added a picture of the applique block I did for another swap so here it is! Thank you for all your warm comments on my previous posts, they always make my day!
Have a great one!

The other day, I helped a friend making Halloween stars, aren't they nice? And with another friend I started working on Sarah's sampler from Jennifer Chiaverini's book, I think it is going to be a red and white quilt...
Talk to you soon.



Hi, I have finished another set of Lemoyne stars, I really love them! I finished quilting 2 quilts, one with stars and the other one, the pattern is Belle Meade from Bonnie Blue, I really really love that one! The fabrics are gorgeous!
It is still cold outside so it is good idea to bake to warm up the kitchen!I baked a banana bread today, yesterday I baked some chewy cookies but they have all been eaten in no time...Teenagers are always hungry!

Hand sewing therapy with Cindy Blackberg's stamps, the blocks are coming out perfectly. I love that method!

She is gone, hit by a car. My poor little kitty... A very sad day here...
