New Spools


Here they are...and I can barely wait to set them into my quilt. This has been such a fun project. It is always more fun to share what you're doing with someone else who loves it, isn't it? And...I don't even know these people!! Maybe I should get into a guild or something. Hmmm...a consideration. I've always been a lone piecer. Maybe it's time for that to change. Christine sent an extra five blocks, so there are 30 here...
Maybe my favorite color for quilts IS red. I love the old-fashioned fabric for the red here...the background says "for you", "Mom", and some other sweet sentiments.

The background fabric for this one looks like a great free-motion quilting design. The green is one of my favorite (but sadly, way out of print) Thimbleberries.



My Isaac (10) has the mumps. Three of his siblings aren't feeling well either. I am naturally wondering if they are getting them, too. I was vaccinated as a child, but managed to get them twice in childhood anyway. I wonder if they are all going to get them? Time will tell.
Hope you enjoy a great, quilty day...

Mumps? they didn't get MMR shots? I think I had mumps as a kid. So long ago, now, that I don't even remember how I felt...

Love teh new spools! Any idea how many you need for a QUEEN size quilt? Or? How big is yours going to be? I have (roughly) 125 spool blocks. I am awful @ math though!
