End of the Month

 It's the end of March and we've had snow and strong winds.  This weather is unreal.

I have a few projects to share with you.

1.  March Mini

I so love Gnomes.  I found this one and fell in love with it.  I made it early enough in the month that I could hang it for St. Patrick's Day.  Be sure to check out Wendy's blog.  There are more March Mini's to see.

2.  Aviary BOM block 2.

It's not perfect but it is finished.  I've put it at the top of my blog.

3.  APQ UFO #3  Home For the Holidays

Excuse all the loose threads.  I had 3 rows made and had 3 to go.  It took a lot of time to finish this top.  I wasn't able to get it quilted but hope to soon.

That's it for now.  Looking forward to seeing what UFO I will be working on in April.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have better weather than we are having.  I'm looking forward to some warmer weather.

Hugs, Cathy

A Finish, Some Fun and A Reminder

A finish is my first finish for March.

This is the Temecula Calendar quilt for March.  It is hard to see in this photo but the X's and binding are green.  I machine pieced it and hand quilted it in one day.  It took almost two days to bind because I was out having fun. 

I started putting my sampler swap blocks together.  I had just enough of the blue I used in my block for corner stones.  And miracles of miracles I have just enough of the red in my block to make a small border and binding.


Now for the fun...  My daughters took me to Painting With a Twist.  Kelley is a fan of Audrey Hepburn so she chose this session.

This is my rendition.  The whole time we were painting I kept saying she should have flesh tone skin and red lips.  As you can see I was all talk no action. However, my daughter Kim did as I said not as I did...lol

Kelley, Me and Kim.  We had so much fun....and Kelley brought wine.

It was a fun bunch of girls.  Me and my gals were in the very last row.  We decided this would be a great thing to do again.  Maybe for our birthdays.  If you get a chance go.  You will have a blast.


Now for the reminder.  Tomorrow is the last day to enter the giveaway sponsored by Connecting Threads for a charm square pack to 3 of my readers. You must enter on the original post to be entered.  Click here to enter.  Good Luck.


This has been one crazy winter.  Snow, wind, ice and frigid temps.  This morning it was -5 and next week it is going to be in the 50's.  I see some flooding in our future.  

Stay warm, keep busy and thanks for stopping by.

Hugs, Cathy
