One More for the Kids

Ok, got busy and did the next kid quilt because the Priority Mail box could hold it and since it is the same price to mail no matter how much is in the box it just seems right  to save money and mail them together. 



the theme of the quilt is golf because I had a novelty print of golf and shamrock (lucky clover) for the back.  I love that two more pieces of material are out of my stash and it will keep a child company.

OhhhLaLa, mon "Qult for Kids" faite et poste. C'est bon.

Another kids quilt for Quilt for Kids is in the mail  (see my first here  http://stitchesonmyneedle.blogspot.com/2015/04/thresholds-to-kids-quilts.html  )

I found the French themed  material fun especially since I have for the last 6 months been on Duolingo taking the French course.  It is a free language site and I have really enjoyed getting to know another language and learning a lot along the way. (I know poste needs an asterisk over the e but I cannot figure out how to get it there.) 

Fast and easy four patch with solid block.  Another charity quilt in 2015 done.  (already have another top ready to sandwich/quilt/mail).

Walking and waiting for Mojo to Open a Threshold

I would love to show you all the work I have done and how much I have been in my sewing studio but truth be told I have not really had the mental sewing mojo.  I am a bit stuck on a pattern for a longhorn for my vortex (looks more like a moose) so I have needed to step back a bit before I attack it again.  Here pics of the endeavor. 



















One thing I have been doing a lot of is walking and have been successful at putting in at least 4 miles a day some days more.  My walking in the neighborhood is really delightful and now Spring is once again changing the flowers along the walk.   Pics of the beauty
