Wow that's gorgeous. I started a bunch of Baltimore blocks but never finished enough to make a full quilt. I used to really like hand applique - I'll have to try to get back in it.

I am almost finished with my 'Desert Rose' (thanks ube!) wall hanging. In spite of the fits I had with the pattern and cutting off some of the points, I think it came out well. Once I wash it, I will post pictures.

Need to start on another wall hangng for a house warming gift. For some reason, I cannot come up with a pattern idea. Anyone got suggestions?

J, how about a schoolhouse block, or house block with the date and Welcome on the door! I must confess I do this for new home owners all the time.

I am anxious to see the Desert Rose!

Hello all ... just dropped in to see what was going on ... some fabulous quilts on display! Ube, loved the bat picture, and glad to hear he found his way back outside (with a little help!)

Funny story about bats - my friend and I were cycling home one evening (I was about 15 years old at the time - long long long ago!) and it was dusk and the bats were coming out. My friend pipes up ... wow, those birds are pretty amazing, I can't believe they can see when it's almost dark.

I never said a word - I knew how terrified she was of bats. I told her the next day and it was pretty funny - she was stunned that they didn't "attack" her and get all tangled in her hair! Ah the myths surrounding these poor creatures! I don't think she ever went biking around dusk again.

That's a great story Marion. I have no fear of bats or most animals, except spiders!

I still haven't started my WH yet but I have been doing more embroidery on a special project and this:

I titled it "Oh, Poppycock"

The pattern came from a QNM magazine from 1989. I converted the simple pattern from templates to PPing and it is so simple to put together. This is another one that I just want to get the top completed before I start the WHing.

It all started with "had a dream"....ever started something and then thought "what was I thinking" Today was the day for me and then after cutting and sewing all day I wondered what I was thinking. Here's a peak...little 2" squares and all of these colors will be used and a few more I think. Hope this works or I need to start again[ATTACH=CONFIG]531887[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]531888[/ATTACH]
