Lettuce just see if this works:

Why do I ever question you, oh Wise One?!? For real? Of course, why else would I tell you. So my dear sweet mother randomly tells me that I can grow my own romaine lettuce just by letting the bottom part sit in a bit of water and change the water every couple days. So here you have it, the first one was placed in on Monday and the second one on Wednesday. Today is Thursday and already I am amazed at these little guys. They were cut straight across and now look at them.
Romaine Lettuce is growing in my house!
This is more fun than watching Sea Monkeys grow, because you get to eat it afterwards!

Sunday, call it a week since first one started,  lettuce  peeking over top of glass.

Spinners


Here is a sneak peek at the next quilt. I'll probably put a bit of blue sashing around the blocks before piecing them together and putting on the final border.

Long Time Favourite




I just started cutting out the pieces and am anxious to start sewing these little girls in place for my next quilt. Sunbonnet Sue is such a timeless treasure that has been on my "want-to-do-one-day" list.
A few Sunbonnet Sue blocks waiting to be  sewn in place.


Here are the girls all together. I embroidered a different little design on each bonnet; ribbon, flowers, zigzags, etc.

Tada!!

Custom Quilt - Queen's

Here is the custom quilt currently in process, ready to go on the frames. I'm just shaking my head. I can't even believe it myself. I am so excited to see the quilting motif that I have planned to really finish this off.

Ice Crystalz-Custom Order Quilt

Here is my variation of Ice Crystalz. The snowflake print fabric is actually shimmery, although that doesn't show up in the photo, and really looks pretty up close and personal.
Front of  Ice Crystalz quilt. It looks so wintery. After counting the stitches I realize now what took so long. I absolutely love it!

Even the back is looking pretty sweet.
