I keep thinking of all the blessings surrounding our family...
We continue to have good health...
The house is filled with a basic supply of food and necessities (no - we are not part of the hoarding population)
The snow is mostly gone with a few patches left in the woods...
My potting shed will soon be open for spring and summer...
The fabric stash is plentiful as are potential projects
At the touch of a button most any book I would like to read is downloaded on to the Kindle...
(Update - Dear Jane is making her way to her new home in Louisiana)
Sharing a few things that are in the works or completed...
My Rowdy Flat Library Quilt - Bits and pieces that will all be joined together...
(3 completed, working on the last 2)
(Corners - which will be joined to the borders)
(And a thank you to Kyle over at Timeless Reflections for sharing Kathy Schmitz Honeybee link - I have been seeing this little paper doll bee popping up on a number of blogs)
Working on piecing blocks - a pattern from Cute As A Button...
A stack of cotton face masks to be donated to our local hospitals/nursing homes - whereever the need is...
My Tree of Life Quilt top sent to the Wollongong Quilt Guild in Australia - they posted a picture on Facebook as it came off the LA machine. Soon it will go to one of the many people who lost their home during the recent bush fires. To date, this large guild has collected well over 13,000 individual quilt blocks in addition to tops, etc. from all over the quilting world.
And our puppy quilt - in honor of 6 shelties in our lives...really like the quilting my friend did on her LA. This quilt brought us smiles when hung on the wall - especially after our silver girl, Kelsie (the blue puppy) crossed over the Rainbow Bridge in January...she is so missed. The orange puppy, heading off in her own direction, is our Seana, who is the Queen Bee now...
And so it goes here at Taylorsoutback...taking each day as it comes.
Be well everyone and remember to cherish the simple things...

Our silver girl, Kelsie - 3/5/06 - 1/10/20
you have such beautiful quilts in progress!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your projects Pat. But my favorite is Cute as a Button! Gee, I wonder why? Stay safe and take care. Lynn
ReplyDeleteYour Rowdy Flat Library blocks are beautiful! I love the fabrics you chose. You made a lot of masks. I made two for each of us yesterday, just to have them on hand. Some ladies in the quilt guild made a huge pile of them for the hospital in Fairbanks and other places. Doesn’t your Tree of Life quilt look lovely! Someone is going to be so blessed to receive it. Your puppy quilt is too cute! So, so sorry you lost your precious Kelsie. We thought we were going to lose our older dog this winter, he is 12, but he pulled through. Not sure if he will make through another one.
ReplyDeleteI saw your Honey Bee right away. Rowdy Flats is almost done. It won't take long. What a lovely Tree of Life. It will be a blessing for someone who will admire your work and appreciate your kindness. Your puppy quilt is a sweet memory quilt. 🐶🐶
ReplyDeleteSorry for the loss of Kelsie. Stay well. Hugs
ReplyDeleteMy, you have been busy! It most definitely helps us to stay sane and safe in these troubled times. Thanks for sharing! Stay safe and healthy!
