A Quilt's Value

Priceless really, if we are speaking about the hours spent selecting fabric, fussing over the pattern, piecing, quilting and binding, and then relishing in the victory of a finish (yea!).  But a quilt has a different kind of value, one that Sew Katie Did got just right in this method.  Scraps galore!  See other WIPs at Freshly Pieced.

Sprung Out

With the "finally" theme running warm through my veins, 96 degrees in Green Country was a welcome reprieve today.  Spring is blooming like mad around every corner.  Trees are blossoming, grass pasty and wet, birds and bees and everything in between humming with new life since the last freeze bid us farewell a few weeks back.  And there's a sweet little cardinal nest on in the porch light fixture to welcome the season with love.

We moved into this house nearly 9 months ago, and this rose bush hasn't done a darn thing all that time.  Except for now.  The voluptuous, electric magenta of these medium sized beauties is filling our home with vitality.

Not much on the quilting front since I finished piecing a top from How to Make a Too Cool T-shirt Quilt. A decent publication, with detailed step-by-step instructions on how to put together all those t-shirts that you've been meaning to make a quilt out of for years.  It's a unique, quick and hassle-free method. Yet to be quilted.
