 Such wonderful nine patch quilts here, You will find great ideas for your own quilts.

Another big day of son fun LOL>
Adam came over in the morning.
We all went to London Drugs to buy me a READER Jean. It is just a reader to see if I use it or even like it. It was $100 . We went over to Timmy's for a coffee. No one ever has just a coffee do they? I had soup and a roll , Ray had a bagel and cream cheese. Adam is on the Dr. Atkins diet and has lot a lot of weight so he cannot eat carbs. He ordered a chicken sandwich without the bread LOL. They gave him his sandwich in a mug!. I sure laughed at that. He is good at engineering around things such as no carbs. Clever guy!
When we came home Adam set about getting my new reader to read. He did get it working. It took some time to do  and then to teach me what to do.
Then Adam helped Ray and me finalize our wills and get them witnessed. Aaron and Adam were the witnesses. Thank you Adam and Aaron for helping us with this job.
Aaron and little Adam  came over for a visit then they all went to Matthew's to view the video of Chelsea's concert.
By this time it was late so Ray and I went to TOPS for dinner. I wasn't too hungry but had the salad and Salisbury Steak the senior size.  Needless to say I could not eat all my meal.
It was another wonderful day and the last one for now. Adam, adam and Aaron will be leaving early in the morning for Louisiana. It has been a lovely week with this part of my family.
Richard and Ricky are somewhere in the south of Nevada, eating Marie Callander pie. MMM

The weather here for the past week or more has been spectacular, it was so warm today that people including me were out and about in bare arms, nothing more lol. It was very warm with a light breexe, my favourite kind of day. Spring is wondrous, new life breaking out in every corner of the land.
Daffodils. Yellow surrounds us early in the spring.
Forsythia. I think that is what we are seeing here, it has been shaped. Usually forsythia has wandering sprigs . The forsythia bush as everyone knows
Is sunshine arranged in bright yellow bows.
 
 
Potentilla or Cinquefoil.
 
Nine patches in stars ready to be sewn together. I had to use this bigger font. Why? Because I can read it better.
 
Such a nice quilt with pinwheels I think and somehow it makes circles as well........ I can't quite figure it out but sure appreciate the beauty of this red and white quilt.
 
I like this picture , the soft colours are appealing to me. The block looks like a 16 patch. People used to use these wicker prams. It is all so lovely and old fashioned.
 
That's it for tonight. Have a great evening
Good night.
