Design Wall 1/31/11

I have two quilts on my design wall - one is the first quilt we will tie.  You can see it here and the other is my yellow monochromatic challenge.  The rows are now sewn although you can't tell from this picture.  The  rows are ready for me to start quilting it as I assemble it -in other words another quilt as I go. So the next item is to find a backing and a batt square.

Off to the stash.

In the Garden

It's raining, so I went to clean out our dry wall on the back side of our house for the runoff to drain away and saw these.

My yellow Lady Banks Rose is starting to bloom.  Guess she thinks it's Spring already.  I'll take her prognostication any day over that ground hog.

It's in the low 50s today - a 30 degree difference from last week when it was in the 80s - typical California weather - LOL.  And here is our adenium. It has bloom all winter long.
