Carolina Lily quilt

 Carolina lily blocks are all done!  Yea!  It is so good to get them finished but i will miss doing the appliqué, I dearly loved doing it.  Ready to do the sashing and borders.  I started this at the end of January and hopefully will have it ready to quilt in another week.  Have a Fantastic Friday!

I spy quilts

Finished up the two "I spy" quilts i've been working on.  They are on their way to two precious little boys, hope they enjoy them!    My sister gave me enough blocks to do a couple more..hmmmm..someday great-grandchildren.....always nice to have some baby quilts made up......you just never know...smile.

Teapot Tuesday

I simply love the color "Robins egg blue".  These are a couple of my favorites!  We have snow this morning!  Maybe 3" on the ground and still coming down.  My sis drove in from Halstead yesterday, made it in the nick of time, beating the snow by a few hours.  There will be lots of sewing going on, she always brings her sewing machine and lots of fun fabrics and patterns.  I am still working on my Carolina lily blocks but am almost finished with the appliqué....about 60 leaves to go....and I can began adding strips and borders.  That is the fun part, putting the blocks together to see the end result.  One thing for sure this quilt will be colorful!  I am toying with the idea of putting a sleeve on the back and hanging it on the farmhouse living room wall when it's done...we'll see.  I'm calling this Teapot Tuesday...have a cupa and enjoy the day!!!

Lemon Garlic salad dressing.

My Grandaughter and I spent some time in Chicago, we sampled a lot of great restaurants while we were there.  One that stands out is Lou Mancheti's pizza parlor.  The salad comes to you in a huge bowl tossed and dressed, thats where this dressing comes in.  My family LOVES garlic, probably in every way shape and form.  The salad we got a Lous was tossed with this dressing, and salad has never been the same.  Ha! It's not exactly the same but pretty darn close.

Colonial girl

I seem to have a thing for busts and statues.  I found this sweet colonial girl bust in a Colorado thrift shop for a whopping $10.00.  She sits on the fireplace mantle and it seems she was made for that spot...love the look of her.  The day I found her I was out for a walk, no way to wrap her up so I carried her home under my arm, dusted her off, polished her up and she has been on the mantle ever since.  Oh yes and for holidays she has been know to wear a ribbon or two...smile.  Have a marvelous Monday!

Snow in Colorado

The mountains are full of snow, this taken from our back patio looking north.  Even tho we are retired now, Sundays are different, always a special day.  Have a super Sunday!
