Happy Birthday to the KING

Today is Elvis's birthday. Lets all pause and remember! Listen to Hound Dog or Love Me Tender or Jailhouse Rock today.



















This is my black and white quilt. I am so pleased with the way this is developing. Each square is a little composition. My husband even commented on it and he never says anything about what is on my design wall unless I ask him. He walked in the other day and said wow that looks great. I am trying to put a little color in each block. I would like to make two black and white quilts for the single beds in one of my bedrooms. It will be a long term project, each of these squares is 7 1/2 so I will need at least 88!


















I haven't had much time to sew this week. I got my boys back and we all had to get back into our routine. Do you notice my sewing machine calling to me?


















There is a great Quilting and Fiber Arts Marketplace in Sanford, NC on Saturday if anyone is in that area. My local quilt shop owner told me about it. They are bringing about 35+ small shops together in one place. Should be fun.

That black and white quilt is looking really great! it's no wonder to me that your hubby commented on it. :) I like that it's so predominately black and white but has the perfect little pops of color... just stunning!

Sharp looking! Yes, isn't it great when noncommital hubbies make a comment! I like the sparks of colour.

Firstly, Happy New Year True Blue!!!

The black and white quilt is looking great - I can see the "math teacher" coming out in you on this one!:-)

Yes, we all are slowly getting back into routine - I'm babysitting my little Chloe again for a few days, so it's back to barbie dolls and cubby houses for me. Of course, my boy is still on school hols and won't go back until end January:-(

Happy Sewing!
