What the Stars Say

May Britt from http://abyquilt.blogspot.com/2009/05/what-do-your-stars-say-about-you.html had this on her blog. What about you? What do the stars say about you?

Robins

There were 4 baby robins outside our bedroom window in a Spruce tree. They've grown quite a bit. Today, mama was agitated, so we looked in her nest to find only three babies. They are so big that everytime mama came near they stretched their necks and I'll bet that they squeezed one out. We looked and looked and couldn't find the fourth. They are so cute.

Maria's Double Irish Chain

I gave this quilt to my niece for high school graduation in 2001. She has loved it dearly. So much that I took it home with me last summer to put new binding on it. I surprised myself to find that I still had enough of the binding to bind it again. How cool. So she's coming out here this week to reclaim her beloved blankie. Here you go Maria. Enjoy it.

Can You Smell the Bread?

I just took the bread out of the oven. My BF says he's glad he's out of town or he'd eat himself sick. I doubt that but he really likes my bread.

"Cree Dreams"

I finally unsewed the last row of my quilting and got it re-quilted. Now I have to trim and bind. I'm going out of town for a couple of days so I'll finish it when I get back.

This is the first time I've used a groovy board so there was a learning curve. I think it turned out pretty good. I'm happy.

Mid-Valley Biennial Quilt Show

I had a chance to go to this quilt show Friday. What a great event. There were so many great quilts and vendors. I didn't buy any fabric but I took lots of pictures.




This one is called "Ocean Star" made and quilted by Barbara A.










And this one ..... is called " I'll See You After Sundown" made by Jeanne P. and quilted by

Aren't they great?

Correction

In my last post I erred in speaking about the charity quilts. There is a group of women belonging to Beta Sigma Phi Sorority, an international organization founded in 1939-40 for women. One of their principles is service to the community. Each chapter has a special project or charity to commit time and resources to help make them successful. Eunice is one of the members and a contributor to Lullaby Quilts, an organization that makes quilts for the neonatal wards at St. Vincent's and Emmanual Legacy hospitals located in the Portland, OR area. They donate about 100 quilts a month to each of the hospitals.
