I have always loved fabrics. So, it is no wonder that I became a quilter. Trying to find time to quilt every day is a challenge even for a retired person such as me. Retirement means that you are just not in the workplace getting a paycheck; you are out in the world helping to make it a better place. I'll try to add a blog every day, but don't count on it. Hope your quilting makes you feel as happy as mine does!

Celtic Solstice Link-Up
Whoops, I forgot to include the photos I have of my progress on Celtic Solstice. You will see the photos of some of the fabrics I have collected for this quilt. Yes, I used the same colors as Bonnie suggested because "when I grow up I want to be just like Bonnie". As far as progress goes, I have a few of the Tri-Recs blocks made with the orange; none even cut out for the neutrals/whites. I will need to get very busy now that my other projects are finished. If you all noticed my needlework bag in pink/red/black/white, the photo was rotated. Sorry. The little center block on it was blanket stitched by hand and embroidered by hand and then had buttons sewn on for the berries. I just love that it has antique buttons all along the top of the bag. The pattern is one of Sue Spargo's named Victoria. The little journal is felt with pennies of felt stitched on the cover. It covers a composition book that I use to keep track of books I have read (written in the front section) and books I have read by favorite authors and those I want to read (written in the back section). I just love to look at it on my coffee table. A pocket was added inside the front cover to hold a calendar, pen, bookmark, library schedule, and assorted items. Hope you enjoy. I know that I am looking forward to being caught up and hoping that I will be ready for the next clue. Quilt on, Bonnie!
