Cupcakes... again

Found these CUTE cupcake place mats at Distinctive Decor... yum yum!

ps - LOVE your comment yesterday Roni... everyone should read it... woo woo!

Jonesbough TN

Isn't this the CUTEST street... it's main street... Jonesborough TN! Everyday we called in our lunch, then walked down here to pick it up... window shopping all the way.  SUCH a delight... thank you Linda and Brenda at Tennessee Quilts for inviting me!

"Be aware of wonder.Live a balanced life. Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some."
– Robert Fulghum

So how balanced is YOUR life? Do you have room to 'wonder'? Do you make room to sing and dance everyday? I think we had better!

PS -I'm working on the newsletter but it won't be online for a few days... it's coming!

ppss - I'll be doing short posts on weekends or awhile... unless I run out of stuff to chat about... hehe!

Ireland - Beautiful Door

Isn't this the most BEAUTIFUL door! It is on the TOUR STOP in Dublin! Yes, all the tour guides STOP THE BUS right in front, and we all go to 'that side' of the bus to see it. It is worth it!

This is on a Georgian style town home. Read a bit about the Georgian period at Wikipedia

Yes.. I know this is ANOTHER Ireland post...

ps... if you click the highlight portion of a word, that is a link to a page at a website. Long May She Wave is my penny rug pattern. Click the highlighted title to take you there!

Long May She Wave...

Long may she wave... and Happy Memorial day!

I got my poppy from the Veteran's group, I get one every year... Big hugs and thanks to all who serve our country!

ps - not sure the name of the roses I showed you....I'll have to see if the tag is still on it.

ppss- A baptist fan is a quilting pattern, very old. When done by hand it is fan 'hoops' that don't connect.

Auction Quilts

Becky made this quilt for Ami Simms's 9x12 quilt auction to benefit Alzeimer research. Read about the Alzheimer's Research auction project.

The project is amazing and it is on going, so you can buy and auction pieces all through the year.

Quilts by You!

Glynis sent me several photos of quilts made with my patterns and/or fabric.. she did a FABULOUS job! Here is one of them, check the 'Quilts by You' on the side bar for the rest.

This Fresh Flowers block is here at P&B... I love the black floral border from my Winter Blooms line (no longer available... check your stash!)

ps... isn't it great to buy new fabbies! Can't wait to use those new ones.. right now I'm working with my new fabric line.. I'll have more photos of it next week when I'm back from travel.
