Hi, here is another friend's quilt I just finished:

And today I finished my turn on a Round Robin which is going back to Australia! I can't post a picture before it arrives or it won't be a surprise for her any more but I will later...
It is a warm day today in Paris, nice.

Aren't they cute? This is my 6th block! Way to go!
Until later, Val

Hi, I was so happy the other day when I received back my RR! It is gorgeous thanks to ladies who worked on it : Marj in Australia, my friend Sheri and Wendy in Australia! Thank you so much!
And Wendy sent me an Australian magazine which I never saw, she has one of her quilts in it! Congrats Wendy!
I have to finish my round on Marj's RR... I am half way done and I am sure she is anxious to get it so I'd better hurry!

School has finally started here! Yeah! More free time!

Lately I quilted this one:
I love it but unfortunately it is not mine....
I now have a blue and white Irish Chain on my frame, hope to finish it soon!

Some things are changing in my life and I am feeling much better!
I received a book on quilts from The Winterthur Collection, what a great book! So many wonderful quits! And interesting historic info on fabrics...
Talk to you soon...

And for my own pleasure I added borders on the center top my friends made me while they were at the Spring Dear Jane retreat! It still needs to be quilted, it will have its turn after I am done with my friends tops... I love it! The border is also a fabric from Brenda Papadakis, it was perfect for it!
I am going back to quilting, one more to go before Friday! And this one is a big one!
Have a great day!


Still quilting here, I love it! It is very interesting when people give you tops really different from what you usually do! I love the challenge! I did circles on the strippy one, different sizes, concentric ones... I played around! And on the diamond one I did leaves...

Today I have been busy quilting this one: the picture does not do it justice, it is going to be a very nice birthday present!
Today has been hot here in Paris and we had rain tonight but not much, not enough for the lawn to turn back green instead of yellow...
