Tuesday

It is a beautiful day here on the coast. You can see the blue water in the horizon... and a new picture of the almost completed roof across the street. It's a nice roof :-)
The neighborhood is peaceful even inside. This is a rare picture of Marianne and Elinor in sleeping coexistence.

For quilting projects, I have a couple of blocks to show you. This is a Lone Star made following directions in the book Stars By MagicI must say...it was fairly magical!  Pretty easy to follow and easy to get good results. Thank you to Mary at Quilt Hollow for inspiring me to take another look at this book. Where this block is headed is still kind of a secret so I will save the rest of the story for later.
This next block is the 20th Psalm block I've made. It is called Snowflake and is for Psalm 51. "Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow."
We are headed out to walk the dogs along the bluff. I hope it is a beautiful, peaceful day in your neighborhood too.

  1. I also purchased the Stars by Magic book. Just got it though, so I haven't made anything from it. Your Psalm block is lovely.

  4. What pretty blocks you've made. I especially like the Psalm block. Number 51 is probably my favorite Psalm.

    A beautiful day? At 3 degrees F - and it was -7 when we woke this morning - I think not! You obviously live in a nicer part of the US than I do! Appreciate what you have, for me, please.

  12. Looks like the new home is coming along nicely. It won't be blocking your gorgeous view will it? Awww. Pretty kitties. My two rarely sleep together. It has to be pretty cold outside before they will cuddle together. I love the blocks you are working on. I remember Mary mentioning this book, although I've never seen it. I'll have to go look for it. May want to add it to my collection, :0)
