QUILTS FOR BAPTIST CHILDRENS HOME

My dear friend Rose Marie and I make a quilt every week at our church  "Chat & Sew".

We have been using 5 1/2" sq's in flannel prints and solids,sewn in rolls and tied.Note: I buy fat quarters for accent blocks. We can get 12 out of a quarter.

SPRING IS COMING!

I do love winter, but after several  months I'm ready for spring  Last spring while I was painting this picture I could smell the blossoms, see the fresh turn soil and laundry blowing in the breeze  and the whole family at work and play all in My World!
