Back Home In California

It is so good to be back home. Sunshine this morning and rain this afternoon. I love it! Nothing better than to be working in your studio and looking out at the rain. Tomorrow is the Common Threads quilt guild meeting so I had to get my trading cards done, especially since I forgot to make them last month. And I had a great idea for February! This month's theme was words. What better place for a quilter to find words than on the salvage of our piles of fabric. So that's what I used.








Before I left for Virginia, I made the block of the month squares. We were given the center (a piece of tie silk)and were to make a crazy quilt square.








I also made a quilt square for a church baby quilt. The squares are coming in so I will have to put it together soon. I'll post a picture when it is done.








Before I left Virginia, I taught Serena how to meander. She has been working on a quilt all by herself and stitched in the ditch but needed to do something in the borders. I just wish she was closer, so I could help her with her quilting. It's hard to do over the phone. She has some great material to make a teal with dragon fly quilt. I can hardly wait to see that when she gets to it.

Special note to "quiltedtime": I like your suggestion of using aqua in my challenge quilt. I think that is what I am going to do. Now more shopping! And I guess I should come up with an idea.
Off to make dinner. Pizza and a movie with Jeff. I missed those nights when I was gone.
