COURTHOUSE STEPPING, ET AL

                                             Thursday's two Courthouse Steps.....






This one ranges towards



purples....







And 
This one is more muted  and vintage-y looking I think..
These two were started actually 
ON the 9" 
muslin square;
the last 22 were made and THEN 
put onto the muslin squares
with the last two rounds...
(if you understand?)

So today's take longer to make as 
I am really starting from the center
and working around.

*********************************
   EYE CANDY FOR YOU
↡↡↡↡

This is the 2nd year of our new Magnolia
that I got for my birthday last year..

I thought I'd better get a couple pictures before
the deer eat all the blossoms---
like they did last year ;0000
[It is about 5' 5" tall]
Thom just sprayed it with a deer/rabbit repellent.
Fingers crossed that will work...
***********************

I also worked on my RSC blues today, but will hold off
until Saturday to post them...
Hope this finds you all safe and sheltering in place
as much as you can...

  3. You have such a fabulous variety of fabrics for your blocks. We awoke to 3 inches of snow and 15 degrees, not much flowering here.

  10. I'm still loving your courthouse steps!
    When we lived in town near a forest, I planted several pansies one year and enjoyed them for exactly one day, as we discovered deer love the blooms - lol!
