Jane Austen

I greatly enjoy the novels of Jane Austen, but this weekend we are also enjoying movies based on those novels. Last night my younger daughter and I watched Sense and Sensibility, she knows she is named after Emma Thompson who plays Elinoir. Tonight I am watching Pride and Prejudice with my older daughter, who is currently reading the novel. We plan on discussing the differences between the novel and the movie. I would also like to find other versions on these movies so we can see a different view point.

Every now and again you hear someone ask "if you could have lunch with anyone, alive or dead who would it be?" At this moment it would be Jane Austen!

Small Quilt

I finished this quilt a while ago (still need to take a finished picture). I want to sew it again, but I can't locate the pattern. It was an online freebie....anyone know where I can find it?

Thanks!

Wonky Log Cabin Square

While waiting for DH to come home from work, I decided to stitch up this great freebie pattern. Here are two pictures of the same square, just turned a different direction. For this pattern or other great patterns visit http://365quiltblocks.blogspot.com/

Next quilt square

I was reading a blog and this is a recent pattern she posted....I'm going to try it out. I just love Log Cabin patterns and this does look interesting!

Hopefully I will have a few minutes tomorrow to sew this up so I can see how it looks!

Kitty pillow

Tonight my daughter is going to a birthday party. I made this pieced Kitty pillow for the birthday girl.

4" Quilt Square

I'm teaching 7th, 8th, and 9th graders in the spring how to quilt. I'm experimenting with different patterns using scrap fabric to see what pattern I will use to teach them.

Sunflowers

Last Thursday a dear friend gave me these beautiful flowers. I finally got around to taking a picture of them today, they are still beautiful!
