I did get by to see the Designer’s Showhouse on Friday and it is a beautiful place; what a lucky family to be able to live there.  “Just Dandy” looked great but photos were not allowed, sorry. Thank you Jill, for including my work!

I continue to have computer problems, so early in the week I spent some of my waiting time re doing the layout for the next art quilt. I had done it already but I thought I could do better and it was interesting how different the later one was. Same picture but quite different layout. There is no wrong way!

Tuesday I went to the Kaw Valley Quilt Guild meeting and turned in all of the quilts I had made for the “Warm Kids” project. The chair person was not there but I am sure they will be appreciated and it does feel good to help. I also gave away two and a half yards of fabric to someone who would make more. Win,win! It’s off my shelf and I don’t have to do the work. Still lots of fabric there that needs to go.

Wednesday I did the enlargement on freezer paper for the next project and did all of the markings for joining the seams (tic marks and obvious hints) Yesterday I pulled fabric. I had already pulled some, but until you know the finished scale it is hard to be sure what might be best.

Today I can start to sew! Stay tuned for pictures……

A few years ago I bought this blue and white iris after the blooming season. For the next two springs, it did not bloom and I thought I might remove it, but this year it is blooming and as gorgeous as I remember. I don’t know it’s name.

Looks like I still have weeding to do. Oh well, I will never catch up on that!

The Hellebores are STILL blooming! I think it started in February; what an amazing plant.
