Anne's Pink Quilt
Made with some of the 12.5" squares from our current M&Ms project. Anne made the strip-pieced blocks from some of her "strings" and did the setting.

White Camellias
...are a bit difficult to photograph, especially when the sun is turning the house next door the same color!
Most of the white varieties bloom at this time of year, which means that by Camellia Festival time (last weekend in Feb.) it's practically impossible to find the white ones for float decorating. This bush will be long past its prime by then!

Maple!
Any other words necessary? There is nothing quite as good as REAL maple syrup!

Ragg quilt
I made two just like this. Actually this is the "back" side of the quilt--raggs typically get snipped and then washed and dried several times to fluff up the fringes, hence "rag" quilt. Because each block is two pieces of fabric with batting in between, and the seams are over an inch wide, it doesn't lay flat at this stage.
Stay tuned for the next exciting installment--after I get my house, myself, and my cats thoroughly covered in threads and lint during the snipping process. Still not quite sure if I want to wash and dry them at home, or in a commercial washer.
I do have to say I'm rather pleased with the layout of these blocks, considering what I had to work with in the way of colors and patterns!

Double-Decker Catboys
My little computer buddies.
Why yes, I do kick my shoes off and leave them under the desk. Isn't that why it has a shelf? (This is an old hotel desk--I've had it over 30 years and its previous family had it for a long time before that.)

Watch Out World!
Here comes the "Termi-N8r" on his new bike! Gotta love that expression as he takes off on two wheels for the first time. (Well, two and stabilizers. After all, he's 3!)
