Today I finally finished row one of a cute row quilt called Thoughts of Christmas by Colorado Quilt Designs.I did not purchase the kit, so I decided to make my background darker, like a snowy night. What really makes this a fun project is my quilting best buddy and I are SUPPOSED to be doing a row once a month. I went to visit Winnie in Navarre, Florida and we had the best time picking out fabrics at the local Drug Store (of all places, but what a selection they had on sale!) Anyway here is my first row with the fabrics we choose and my background. I am not pleased with the points but you know, I will live with them! The background looks more blue in this photo, it really is darker and has little flecks of lite blue and white, like a snowy night!
Thought I would introduce you to my great neighbors. Ray and Diane are the best! If I have a project I am working on, I can always depend on Ray for advice or additional tools. And Diane, well, she is the gardening queen! They have the most beautiful yard and it has extended into to my yard and that is okay by me! Ray made this cute window h
ouse from scrap windows I picked up in Victoria. I love it. It has a plant in the base part and a hanging plant in the peak part. Ray and Diane are also momma and daddy to Daisy, sweet little schnauzer angel. Daisy has a cookie route everyday. She goes next door and gets a cookie from Georgia and Ed, then over to Bill's and get one from him and if she sees me drive in, she is barking and telling me she wants her cookie from the back porch! If i leave my back door open, she comes on in and we talk a bit! Here is picture of crazy Diane and Ray on St Patrick's day! They went all out and decorated the golf cart! We re-purposed the green Madi Gras beads that I hauled back (that's another story!) from Florida and hung them off the sides and you can see some on the front! Diane's hat made me laugh! Hey, it is all about having fun
