bear paw

I always thought that Bear Paw was a 7 piece block but I can only find 6 pieces.

Not the easiest pattern, but it is beautiful! This drafted this block is from a quilt that was made in the early 60's. Get the free pattern! Click >>http://bit.ly/Mu1PlI

Paper piecing once again for those who enjoy it.

This is the best puppy quilt. I have seen it before and love it.

Travel much? then this is the way to go if you love to sew on the go.

We didn't do much today but we did go up to our little mall and have a sandwich at Subway. We just ordered a half and then had it cut in half again and it was just the right amount for lunch. We had the salami and other stuff.

We went into the grocery store and then the centre of the mall where we met Marg. It is cold and slippery out so I was worried that Marg might fall and break something. It has happened before . We drove her home.

I had a bit of a nap , but not too long.Then I got some towels ready to embroider on my embroidery machine. I have decided that it is too much for me to get a lot done at a time but I can certainly get a smaller amount done. Tomorrow I hope to embroider on one towel. Then in the evening Kathy and I are going to cake therapy at TOM's.

Back to today, I spent a lot of time messing around with my computer trying to set it up my embroidery designs. Everything worked out well. And I enjoyed my playing.

I have a thing that irritates me and it is the pronunciation of especially. It is pronounced es peci all y not exspecially. I hear that all the time. I am easily annoyed by incorrect words.

Clamshells in a chorus of greens. Beautiful isn't it.

And here is a simple Valentine quilt. The design can be changed to fit another pattern such as Shamrocks and a 16 patch square. Just one idea, there can be many other angles to this quilt.
