Two “Make Life”  charm packs made this quilt perfectly.

I used every scrap in my pieced back.

Very pretty and fun fabric…

I adapted this Apron kit from Sweetwater a little to suit me, I need a bib on my apron, I’m  kind of messy when I cook/bake.

I had some vintage cotton ric-rac to use around the bottom.

I ordered a cute patch for the bib top.  I’ll be happy when I wear this and feel pretty in it too!

These two are watching every stitch I take while enjoying my morning coffee…

Make Life

Quilt top and a perfect way to use two charm packs. Poo I think I better take my time a little more with block placement. Oh well …... I really like this fabric.

More pinwheels

I only have two more to go and also the 12 small ones for the inner borders, Rachel  composed a wonderful tutorial for the blocks!  I really like the framed pinwheel blocks and would love a whole quilt made from them…..I found another sampler I may have to join, these pinwheels are so much fun!  the twiddletails blog

I thought these two photos went well together, both taken on a pretty Spring day after a rain.  Mr Doll built this potting shed for me about 15 years ago and I love having a place to play in the dirt!!  Azaleas, absolutely one of my favorites. I like my gardens formal in the front of our home and more natural and informal in the back.

Sunday was our first trip out on the river near our home, such a natural beauty   (my daughter and the river)
