Never too late to learn!

Just wanted to send a little post to let you know that the new badge on the blog (see right) is for the new blogging class I am taking.  I am so excited. It's with Holly Becker  (Interior Design extraordinaire!!)and friends.  Click below and it will take you right there.

Educate Yourself!

I hope to learn new tricks to improve the blog and "get out there" more. Life is about learning and growing. We can't expect to stay in our own little bubble, try to figure stuff out and maybe or maybe not, things will work out, now can we?

So don't be scared friends. Face your fears, step out in faith and take a chance!  Take a class just for fun on something you like and are interested in or maybe something that is "out of the box" for you. It will open a world of new people and experiences and it will make your life richer, what could be better?

Christmas Once a Month Project #5

First, I must beg your pardon as I overlooked the date (15th) for the Christmas Once a Month posts as outlined  here  at Julie's blog. I don't know now if I'm ahead or behind?    In any case, I do hope this project will make up for my oversight. I have had this pattern on my mind since I first worked with half square triangles on this project .  I am happy to say this is one of my own inventions, as I did not use any pattern. Yay! I started with a clear idea and made the rest up as I went along! Some people collect scraps for a giant scrappy quilt, I prefer more immediate gratification by making something more compact in a fraction of the time! Truthfully, finishing something (like a quilt) gives me great satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment I don't get doing other things;  I'm addicted! One perk was that I did it entirely with leftovers: Squares, 5 inch charms and smaller 2 1/2 inch squares, various strips...

(It's on the button above!) I love it because it means fun! It makes me think of ...       Ferris wheels     and cartwheels  and wind. The Pinwheel block, was created in the United States around the 1800's. It became a very popular quilt block pattern and continues to be used in a variety of styles. There are so many ways to accent the "blades" with the colors (light/dark) patterns and placement, both within and around a quilt.  And it's really not a difficult block to do, I'll show you three different kinds of pinwheel blocks to try.
