Nature's Bounty





Wow, I can't believe I'm back from South Carolina a month already. We've been very busy here getting the house ready for Sale. But I did make time to finish a quilt that I had started a few years ago. Well, maybe a little more then a few years...LOL...Anyway, it is finished. This is the 1st time I ever did the big stitch instead  of the standard hand quilting stitch. But I needed to finish it quickly so that it can go into the Northern Star quilters Show in May. It's funny but when I was working on it, I didn't like it. I can see all my mistakes. That's what happens when you have your nose into it. I even thought of taking my name off it and calling it anonymous. Now that I'm over myself, and standing back, It's not really that bad. I don't expect any ribbons, but that's OK....Bye the way, the blocks were from Gabrielle Swains book "From the quilters' Garden"

New App for posting on blog and other places

My laptop crashed so I'm posting from IPad. I bought a really neat app that does a whole bunch of things. One of which is posting to my blog from it. So I'm playing around with it to see what it can do what it can't.  As you can see, when I wrote "Our visit to Beaufort" it wasn't where I expected to be on the blog. Right now I can't seem to edit it out.  I can't seem to do any editing on  my blog when I'm on my IPad.  Need to find out what that's about. 

Beaufort So. Carolina

 We have a lovely day out visiting all the galleries here. There is so much opportunties here for an artist to show their work.  The day was exceptionally warm from February.  In the 80's. 
Here are a few other pictures:
