Pictures of sunrise on the 21st of March. Today, it is mostly cloudy and we have had very little rain--smells nice and looks promising, but will see what tomorrow and Saturday bring.
I will not be around much on Friday--helping out at the quilt shop and going to guild meeting!
I broke down yesterday after being sent home from Jury duty (that I had hoped I would be chosen for) and stopped by the SAS store to buy some goodies for Crazy Quilting. I added these items to items I had begun collecting and things I already have here. I am itching to go and play--and if you are a CQ'ER, then you know what I mean :o)) this is new to me but what the heck--it is to play with :o))
this is of my fabrics--I found some lovely -I guess it is taffeta(?) and I had received some lovely samples of fabrics that are marked as selling for 138.00 per yard, etc,etc....YIKES!!!! hehehehehe I am not even sure what the the others are but I have some lacy stuff and all sorts of other scraps I wouldnt normally play with. 
I love the green with the butterflies and dragonflies :o)) Also, I purchased some silks with pictures printed on them--they have yet to arrive and will be a nice feature to my quilt.
these two pictures are of the embellishments I may be using..it just depends. I guess that will come along as I begin to put things together. the plain, colored, rick-rack is for other projects and i dont think they would be appropriate for what I have in mind. There are laces, motifs, florals, and buttons and other doo-dads!
I put the laces on the red bag so you might be able to see the design. Now, I think I am on a quest to seek more items to play with--I dont intend to finish this quickly, but maybe i will post a block as i complete them...
Next weekend is a quilt show for that weekend. I enjoy going to these--tho I am not sure at what capacity this time--to help or to play or to do whatever--hopefully I will get to take pictures...I learned that lesson very quickly :o))
this last picture is a comfort afghan i just completed--I will be mailing that out next week.
OK--will turn you loose now! hehehehe--so much easier to catch up this way--toodles *~*CAROLE*~*
crazy with sewing the blocks of the same name---I counted and i have 8 pieced! HA--I had miss counted but I had a blast sewing them. You can probably tell how new I am to this, but like I said--it was fun!! I can sew 7 more before I have to make more muslin blocks...in any case, i hope the are all about 9 inches when they are completed...this is a project i can take camping! OH YEA!! along with crochet, you know I surely wont be bored if we cannot be outside because of rain or heat! we hope to make a first trip in April, when the campgrounds begin to open up! anyway--here are pics of the crazy blocks so far and then a picture of Laci with dirty face and her greenie! hehehehehehehe *~*CAROLE*~*
The runner is complete--as are the place mats. I used Thimbleberries fabrics from 2007 line
the quilt and any items I make throughout the year will be added as well
pics are taken from several different angles because of the lighting and i couldnt decide which one showed the best.....
