Winter Wonderland quilt 2011..

All the christmas decorations & tree are put away and now I am ready to make some quilts. First quilt I will be working on from time to time this year is " WINTER WONDERLAND by Crabapple Hill". My good friend Doreen and I will be working on this quilt together . There are 24 snowflake blocks to make for this amazing quilt and we are both using " Lumiere de Noel by French general for Moda " . This fabric is just gorgeous and just perfect for our snowflake blocks. Doreen has generously offered to make all of the redwork Snowmen blocks for both of our quilts . As you can see I have completed 3 of the snowflake blocks and have only 21 more blocks to go.... Doreen and I are going to really enjoy making these together.

Quilts of 2010 ... Happy New Year!

As 2010 comes to a end I reflect on the great fun I had making these quilts ! My favorite quilt that is VERY close to my heart the the WINTER ROSE quilt that Doreen and I made together . My second favorite is the Maison Bleue quilt that I made of all Martinique fabric. I am already starting my list of quilts that I would like to complete in 2011. Sorry I have been MIA the last couple of weeks. We were busy with the baking and wrapping . Then I was sick in bed the week before christmas & thought I would not be able to have xmas with my family BUT I was feeling much better the thursday before xams YEAHHHHH!
Wishing you ALL a Happy New Year!

Christmas in San Francisco.......

San Francisco is SO beautiful at christmas time ! After my drs. appointment thursday we decided to drive over to Larkspur and take the ferry over to San Francisco. It was a beautiful day 58 degrees. We took the bus to Union Square and walked around. There is a street named Maiden LAne and I found the London clothing store that had 100's of Antique sewing machines in there window ! WOW! I could not believe my eyes. We had lunch a FUZIOS in the embarcadero and had calamari , crab cakes and paella. The first 2 pictures in inside the Hyatt Regency Hotel , isn't it just gorgeous ! There were 2 ice rinks. One in Union square and one at the embarcadero. What a wonderful day in the city ! Enjoy the picture I took !
