I love the "portable" fireplace idea.. It is beautiful and most the time, I just like the ambience of a fire and not the heat one provides. I changed to a gas log a few years ago because of the soot and mess. Haven't turned it on in a couple of years. In my new home, we are installing pellet stoves...which I love. I have 3 antiques stoves in my home and love the look and feel of vintage. My new farmhouse will be perfect for them. Your quilt is stunning...thank you for sharing...

Hi Ladies!!:wave:

I haven't dropped of the edge of the earth entirely. Just just finished another UFO top yesterday and got around to another couple of blocks for SBS.

DonnaPea, I love your 9Patch wall hanging. Thank you for sharing your photo. Your quilt is going to be beautiful hand quilted. What a labor of love!

No fire place here. I live in FLorida. I doubt I would ever need to use one here. Although, I know some of the houses in our development have them. My neighbor has one. I think I've seen it in use maybe 3 times in the 16 years I've lived in this house. It just doesn't get cold enough.

NZ, your blocks are so nice. I can't wait to see more of them together as you go along. I've always been a fan of Red/White/Blue. How are doing settling into your new house?

Anael, that's an awesome photo. Looks like you are having a lot fun with your camera.

DonnaPea, so sorry!! I didn't mention your 9P wall hanging. I LOVE it!! It's a simple block and a stunning result! Thanks so much for sharing!

Nice job, NZQuilter! I love red/white/blue fabrics, will be fun to see yours come together. Great picture, Anael. It's the small things in nature that are so exquisite, isn't it?

The thing is we have to take time to notice the small things...lovely photo, indeed!

Thank you so much ladies!!
