moda charms

http://www.modabakeshop.com/search/label/Quilt

Moda has a number of quilts that can be made from Charm packs. I love to collect charm packs and have used them for several things like yoyos and small blocks. I love them just to look at LOL. So here are some quilts for you.
 

Thanks to Denise for this one. It was an 'aha' moment for me when the product was finished.  Really a great idea.

We had an elevator outage today and had to use the stairs to get out. I have a very bad time with stairs but I made it down several levels . Ray took my walker downstairs.

I did not do any sewing today . My sons' step sister passed away from brain cancer today. It is a tragedy for all Erin's family both full siblings , her mother and her stepbrothers. I was on the phone with my sons talking about her demise and how we all felt about it.

We could all do as these darling dogs do and treat each other well. See how they bend their heads at the same angle, that means to me that they are on the same page. Sweet isn't it.
 
Do you love RED, I do so these beautiful Australian Lorikeets really appeal to me because of this delicious red. They are busy preening each other a very necessary operation that has to do with the need to remove the wax from their feathers so the feathers can become functional. When baby birds start to feather out they get pin feathers and believe me they lay like a set of pins hence the name.  All the wax has to be removed which the parents take care of. See this baby parrot below to get a good look at pin feathers.
 
How many times have you said something similar. If they are talking about me they won't be talking about other people.
I like these ladies, they are full of energy and exuberance.
 
 
 
Pattern is called  Mother's Choice, the first time I have found a block that refers to Mothers. Usually it is Grandmothers that is referred to. I have seen many of them.
Download now as a pdf pattern
 
This guy amuses me and makes me smile. it would be a very simple block to make and could be converted into a mug rug. Don't you like the black and white stripe binding. It is very effective.
 

 
Time to go folks.
Have a good evening.
