HELLO, KITTY;))) & Peeps ;)))
I want to make each of my two little grandgirls one of these in pixilated form--using 1" squares...
Cute Kitty...this is on my list --maybe for Christmas shhhh..... We'll see.
But, I digress (again!!)
******************************************************************
Now for what I am currently reading:
One of my very favorite authors is Rosamunde Pilcher--
and I just got her "Coming Home".
I really love her writing style; and she pens a good, long
book to get lost in...
{my paperback copy is 977 ppgs long...YAY!!}
I read her "Shell Seekers" before and instantly fell in love with her
storytelling-- the kind of story where you really want to know what happens
to the characters and hate it when it ends....
I usually read British mysteries (actually I devour them so fast that I cannot
seem to find anymore-- and have re-read all of the ones
I own more than once!!).
So,
I am now waiting for Ellie Griffiths' "Ruth series" next book and also Ann Cleeves' Shetland Series...to come out in paperback---
Meantime, this is a nice change for me; and, I see that Pilcher has written a lot of novels...(doing my happy dance)--
I love it when I see a whole range of books ahead of me...

On the quilting front:
I have finished quilting Oasis and trimmed it up ready for binding which I cut this morning...as you can see, I just did a wavey line--and I really like
how it came out...[it is such a gorgeous breezy day here at last!!]
Here is the back--I used Moonshine by "Free Spirit" fabrics...
I love the colors in this one...
I had it on hand in my backing box...another serendipitous event!!
I am hand quilting my 4th Dresden right now--I usually work on them in the evenings while watching the Red Sox.
and look what came out with all of our rain:
My Bleeding Hearts--a gift of two tiny sprigs last Autumn from my gardening
friend Jean...hasn't it just taken well??? So old fashioned and so lovely, thank you Jean B.
And my lettuce has really been moving along--even just in this pot on my deck:
salads and hope they will continue to grow throughout the summer...
I also planted some saved marigold seed from last year in front and I found a
packet of Aster seeds that I hope wintered over in my back fridge...
Little by little I am getting into my Spring mode--now to move all my long
sleeved shirts to the back and bring forth the short ones...
Tonight I am making American Chop Suey for dinner with a small side
salad for us both...
hugs from sunny, warm (at least for now) SE CT a blessing of a day...
Julierose, La Blageuse
P.S. Bonnie Hunter (at Quiltville) is doing a Snowball 9-patch BUT, her snowballs are string pieced--be still my heart--I may have to do one of those..I love how hers is looking with blue/yellows and neutrals...I just watched her quilt cam--love her and her stuff...take a visit to be inspired...;)))
