Little Fox Quilt


Purchased this fabric a A Quilters Gathering this past fall in Manchester, NH. I loved it. Its bright, colorful and the giraffes are adorable. This is for my niece and her new baby boy Fox. I top quilted it with glow in the dark thread.  When the lights go out you know exactly where the quilt its.  Its bright and I'm impressed at how well it glows.

A close up of the giraffes, the fabric is by Micheal Miller.
I gave the back a little strip of polka dots.

Bunny Wool

I am hoping to get back into quilting and other fun projects.  I havent done anything since christmas, where has the time gone.  Im always a holiday behind.  I made this in plenty of time for Easter.

Birds Birds Birds

One thing I enjoy on the weekends is watching the birds at my bird feeders. If you feed birds you know how much they eat.  It can get costly, but the rewards out weigh the cost.  These were today's visitors.  Its snowing today so the pictures are hazy.
This is the hairy woodpecker.  Loves suet and occasionally I find him pecking at the siding of my house. (not a good sound)
Here are Eastern Blue Birds, they also love the suet.
One bird I really enjoy is the Cardinal, I have males and females, I have 5 to 6 daily.  They are always in the yard somewhere. They love sunflower seeds.
I wanted to remove this lilac tree from my yard because the winter storms have destroyed most of it, but the cardinals love it so I'm torn about removing it. Birds love thicket.

Blizzard 2013

They said the landscape would look different when we woke up this morning  after the Blizzard went all night, and it sure did.  Can you tell the make and model of my car?
Snow is up to the window

My first impression of the Blizzard is waking up to not being able to look out my bedroom window.

Luckily we didn't lose power, now I hear there is a Valentines storm approaching.
Yikes! I noticed the time stamp on my camera is a day off. Must get that fixed.
