Sports Quilt

This is a Sports Lover's Quilt!  It is 80" x83" and has 36 blocks depicting various sports interests.  I am sure the person who made it had fun with it.  It is hand quilted thru layers of some pretty durable fabrics, not just light weight cottons.  There is a heavy cotton batting in side and in very excellent condition.

Out My Kitchen Window

As winter winds down and spring is coming on, I want to share a moment in time, a moment of pure glory.  I looked out my kitchen window and there was the most lovely sight.  It lasted only a few moments and then it was dark.  The sun was setting and the light was so bright.  If I hadn't looked up, I would have missed it.  We had had a freezing rain and then snow, not a lot of snow but still enough to make a beautiful coating.  The sun sparkled off the ice beneath the snows and it just shimmered.  I am in awe.  Thank You God for this gift!

Carpenter's Wheel

This is a Carpenter's Wheel quilt that Mr. Puff-n-Stuff gave me.  I love the colors and the size.  It is 93" square.  The white fabric is also the backing.  On the front, a lot of the white pieces are pretty worn out and need to be replaced.  The rest of the fabric is quite solid and still bright.

4 Patch in a Square Quilt Blocks



Here is another sample of the quilt blocks from the box.  There has to be about 50 blocks in the box and little by little I want to share them.  Thank you sister Bonnie for sharing them with me.  These blocks are a reverse of each other, kind of a night and day version of 4 patch in a square.  The blocks are 7" square.
