A Little Inspiration

It's amazing how a little retail therapy can inspire you to create.

I took a trip to one of my favorite quilt stores on Saturday.
And came away with this collection, to use for the applique BOM.
Two blocks prepped and basted down ready for the hand applique.
Plenty of evenings ahead to get these stitched.
Tomorrow see's me at the dentist, here's hoping all goes well.

Hollie had a trip back to Cookson school for an open house and to farewell her house parents, as they head back to Illinois to live.
Tayla had a great time with one of Hollie's friends little girl, who is a month younger.

 Until the blocks had contact with her.
 It seems she did a bit of block swinging too.
 Then decided she didn't want her new friend to leave, so hung on tight to her shorts.

She came back from the weekend with another three teeth. That's the way to do it, cut them all in one day.
Happy Stitching.
Linda

That blue fabric is gorgeous, especially the one with swirls. Your colors will be gorgeous together.

So you're starting a wrestling play group for infant girls now, huh?
