This is what "May" from Germany sent me as a prize from her blog. It was filled with delicious chocolate candy eggs. The eggs were delicious. I am using this to put spools of thread in. It works wonderful. Thanks May. You did such an excellent job on this.

I am making a "Snowman" applique quilt right now. I grabbed some of my many buttons and set them on each snowman to see if they looked okay. I also have some gold and green button on there that I'm using for their shirts. Now I have to stitch on the buttons.

Here are some gold buttons that I'm choosing from. They might be too bright. I have so many buttons that this is the fun part.
Here is one of the stars that go between my "Snowmen". I also have blue plaid stars.
In 1992 I started making a wonky log cabin quilt. I only cut the hundreds of pieces out and laid them on top of each other...right sizes together. I've never made a log cabin quilt but want to, so I found this little kit and I love stars and this is just what I want. I think I will even try to machine quilt it. The kit comes with everything...even the backing and batting and for under $20. Couldn't beat that.

Well, sorry I don't blog much anymore. I've been busy sewing and reading. I didn't say anthing about housework, did I? ha ha...not doing too much of that right now.
