Butterfly Parade is the name of this block.  Pretty busy isn't it? Or is it just pretty?

Today was my sewing day.Pat and I went for coffee at Starbucks , then off to our sewing groups. I was not feeling well and had to rest on the sofa for a while. But I did applique a heart. And took a couple of photos.

Diane worked for a long time making a whole envelope of hexagon flowers They are so interesting because she fussy cut them both the centres and the outer edges of the flowers. They are so good to look at.  We have spent many an hour just looking at the choices. Great job Diane.

Betty's blue and white quilt with the lovely quilting of long armer Lauren. It is gorgeous. Both Betty and Lauren do fabulous work. They make a great pair.

This was also Diane's work her first finished piece, hexagons again.

It was a good day. Pat brought me back home again.

Betty, Pat and I all worked on hearts. Here are some of mine.

The one at the front is the one I am working on right now.  See the pins.  There are 22 of them today. I think I might start putting them into a quilt soon, a small one as there are not that many hearts I can use.

Remember this. I recall one of these phones on my cousin's farm in Alberta. There were at least 5 party lines that I can remember. I was a bad girl and loved to listen in on the party line. The operator used to tell us to get off the line. LOL.See the bells on the top , that is the ringer. Wonderful piece of antiquity isn't it?

I just found a bag of small hexagon pieces to make two hexagon flowers. Tomorrow night I will start to sew them and hopefully cut out a couple more sets.

Sharon Schamber won Best of Show for this quilt at Houston. She won Best of Show when I was in Houston in 2010.  She does amazing work. Look at this quilt and think of how much work went into it.

Well that's all folks. I have been reading some more about ALS and Stephen Hawking.

I am ready to go to bed.

Have a great evening.

Good night.
