It was hot last night…REALLY HOT…too hot to work on this…
Working with wool when it’s hot out..well..it just doesn’t mix!
So I put on a cotton nightie (I could EASILY become a Mumu wearer!!)and perused this lovely book…
Yup…cooled me right off! This is my latest JoAnn’s 40% off book!!
What a wonderful book…complete with a scotty dog in several pictures!!
But it’s this quilt that I LOVE…I mean really…a girl’s GOT to plan ahead!!
Just look at it…simple, sweet… with just the right amount of applique…This would make the perfect gift! Love it! Now think of it TIMES 5! I think that I had better start collecting more green fabric!!
Hoping that you have a Sugar Plum kind of day…and Happy Quilting!~P
Love that quilt! You could always make an extra and send it my way...lol!
ReplyDeleteI was going to get that book and then decided not to, I have way too many other projects I need to finish and start;)

Times 5. You're the best mom.
ReplyDeleteMy friend Dianne (you met her with me at Boundary Bay) just made the stocking/tree panel while were on retreat and it is so cute! Love that book.
Come visit Ohio...we got several inches of snow yesterday...enough already!!!
ReplyDeleteThat book looks really neat...love the quilt.
I love mooooooo mooo's.....
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a few Xmas gifts already in the planning stages, lucky girls! Enjoy the heat because you'll be wearing the flannels when you get back here. Or maybe you can bring it back home. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteYou and me both, Paulette...bring on the mumu! The quilt looks awesome..I know you would have some very happy folks on the receiving end of that fab gift.
ReplyDeleteI saw that quilt done at a shop in Mesa! I love it. Would you mind making it times 6?? LOL!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a plan for the next Christmas Quilt Along! (Which is next Saturday by the way)
ReplyDeleteI made that very quilt this year and can't wait to make it again. :) I'm thinking of seasons....fall colors with leaves on pumpkins across the top banner, summer brights with flowers in a row, spring pastels with bunnies. Can't you just see it? blessings, marlene
ReplyDeletelooks like a fun quilt, I wish I could say that it was too hot to work with wool. They saying we might be getting an April Fools day Nor'easter!Oh yay,she said sarcastically.
ReplyDeleteI love this book. I got the Stocking quilt done for the holidays last year, and have the quilt with all the little black and white 9 patches about 2/3rds finished. There might be hope on that one for this year.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, the patterns are fun and easy to put together!
Did you know that that is a Canadian book? The authors are in Moose Jaw.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever get to Moose Jaw, you have to go to their shop. Its called Quilt Patch, and its wonderful. They have wool....
Gotta love those 40% off coupons. I was sure your next blog would be titled "On the road again..."
ReplyDeleteVery nice well done
ReplyDeleteHugs Janice
I love the westie photos. That's what I have to make my life less stressful.
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine working on Christmas stuff now in April...but Pauletter, that's you. You love that stuff!
For my birthday last fall my sweet sister sent me that book and the fabric to make the quilt in your last photo. It is finished except for some touch up appliqué work and the longarming--I absolutely love it!
