And the only craving I have to want one is the "am sitting in my smoking spot, doing things I do when I smoke" habits, So I just snack on almonds.

And there is no rush we have plenty of time. I still have my portals quilt on my frame really need to get working on it, when I can stand again without falling over! I have all the parts in, the specialty stuff, the batting, etc. Only lack the backing and threads.....am still debating on what I want to do for them. I did decide on a name for this piece

it will be dubbed "A Queens Romance" and will definitely earn it's name. I am so happy that I can do this piece for you really brings me joy!

Ok, must go clean up breathing apparatus and turn washer on........
Take care. Love the name. My husband calls me the Queen but not of Romance LOL...

Hi Melinda,
Here are choices for your quilt. Pic with just fabrics, (pic is terrible) but they are greens and yellows with black (not shown) and will follow the quilt pattern in the middle. I think it is called Monkey Bars. The other choice is a bold gold (again terrible pic) fabric with a jelly roll I have with earth tones to form the chainlinks. That pattern is called Engagement. Any preference?

Yummy fabrics. Especially the top pastels. Can't wait to see the finished quilt posted.

Have the top done now, just need to decide on the backing and then actually get it quilted.

I'm sewing blocks together - sew, trim, sew, trim - square down, add end pieces and square to 15-1/2"

Marking 120 bits for HST seemed to take forever - project is coming along nicely

Just put Mr. Beasley out and it's snowing once again - hmmmmm - March in like a lion hopefully out like a lamb.
