Lily Mary Anita

I've been remiss about posting about our precious, Lily. So here she is in a starring role.

I've had this video clip for a while but I just couldn't figure out how to post it and then I saw a Smilebox slide show on quiltshow.com and I was able to do it with Smilebox. The service is free with ads, so I thought I'd give it a try. Still photos of Lily taken on Tuesday coming up next.

Thanks for indulging a doting Abuela.

A Notions Giveaway

Well, finally got back to destashing and what do I find - a small box under some fabric.  I put away what I wanted and decided to give away the rest.  Would you like to get these in the mail?

There is a finger guard for hand quilting.  I have one already and find it very useful.  Then there is a small vial of Roxanne's #12 betweens with a cute shell for a stopper.  I use others like these for applique.  And then there's a cute pin cushion made from an acron, some rick-rack and a small piece of cloth stuffed with batting. Lastly there is a package of bookplates with the prickly pear block as part of the design - they are self adhesive and of the same design - a BBD Creations from Vero Beach, FL.  I wonder where I got those, but I've decided not to use bookplates any more.

Giveaway closes next Sunday - I'll annouce the winner Monday.  To win, just become a follower and leave me a message.

Good Luck!

Design Wall Monday 8/30

Whew, tomorrow will be a non-stop day so I am posting early.  Here are 12 blocks that I received from my daughter's mother-in-law, Gail.  I posted about one of the blocks I messed up earlier.  You can see it in the photo:

They'll have sashing between them. The one that took the longest was the pineapple block in the second row. And here are my two favorites so far:

My mom has done all the embroidery for me and I love it!

  I could make two quilts  - one out of each of these blocks.  They're 8 1/2" blocks.  I would make the vase and flowers that size, but I can see the other one in a larger size.  Can't you?
