Have been taking photos off my camera (finally). I want to share a couple of recent quilt projects.

: I made to illustrate a nine patch variation. Of course, when I put it up to take the photo I discovered two blocks turned the wrong direction. Out came the seam ripper!

: My technique for making the pineapple block. This one is scrappy, of course

: I was trying variations of using nine patch blocks while developing a talk.

: Painted plumeria

Visiting with grandchildren

My little Texas children are a delight to visit and to cuddle. A visit also means some quiet time, good for reviewing business ideas. I have been researching Texas quilt guilds. I will be sending material in hopes of doing some teaching/speaking when I make my twice a year visits.

My schedule is full with making 9 quilts from clothing of a women who has passed on. the challenge is that the fabric isn’t all cotton and it isn’t in yardage. But I am making fun with the project. So far I have used a disappearing nine patch and variable star designs. Now I am working on one with a pinwheel motif. I will post photos as the quilts get quilted.
