Liberated Quilt Making......What does that mean to you?
This is the second volume Gwen Marston has
published on this topic & technique.

I love learning new processes for quilt making & especially
ones that help you design as you go.  This will become a
great reference & work book in your quest to try something
new and become a "Liberated" quilt maker.

The information is clear and very inspiring......
The project photos and ideas will serve as the perfect
springboard to get you sewing!!

Friendship Basket Club March

March is such a season of transition. 
This year particularly has held challenges for many of us. 
We have seen the fury of nature across the country as well as across the globe.
Many have experienced loss in a variety of different areas.

It is said, "That which doesn't kill you,  makes you stronger". 

Through times like these we are blessed to have friends who hold us up when

we feel as though we can not go on another day.  Through times like these
we retreat to the comfort we find in expressing our emotions in cloth.
Through times like these we discover the true depths of our spiritual &
interpersonal relationships.

I believe we are all getting stronger as we participate in a good workout,  stretching & growing with our challenges, what ever they might be.

In choosing a block for this month I came upon "Grape Basket"
I love it.....One of my favorite things about March is,
you start to see spring bulbs awaken from their Winter slumber.
The very first to wake are the tiny Grape Hyacinths.  I love their
deep purple clusters in contrast with the remaining snow we usually
have on the ground. 

They whisper to me "The world is awakening, the cold death
of winter will hold us no more it it's icy grip....life will come
again to this part of the world & soon the summer sun will
warm us....body and soul"


Until next time.....Enjoy!

Monday Book Club

This book focuses on a resurgence of
"All things homemade"
In case you haven't noticed...
apparently there is a movement to reconnect
more intimately to the world around us. 

Have you noticed how many cooking, crafting,
knitting, sewing, home design/decorating shows
there are on television? 

With the invent of & accessibility we all have to technology 
we feel the need to connect more closely to the source of all things. 

We want to personalize our surroundings & connect with
others through personal gifts made by our own hands....

You will find many fun ideas for projects in this book
