Snippets of the Last Few Days

The mail lady brought me two new books.  Mark Making by Helen Parrott is amazingly beautiful. 

And I love the cover with those holes!

My new Art Quilting Studio came the next day.  It is a really good issue.  Sometimes thre are a lot of things I like but would never do.  This one is full of stuff I would love to do.






I made two baby quilts from the Little Farms line.  Lyen is preggers with a boy.  She works at the Investment company who is overseeing our retirement money and has helped us so much in the last few years.  So her baby needs a quilt!

 I love to pile up the snippets when I am working on putting the quilt top together.  It is satisfying to see the pile grow.  And I always want to save every last scrap...…..but I do eventually toss them into the garbage pail.

But you know I really want to keep it all and make something with it!
