See my quilt in Machine Quilting Unlimited

If you haven't seen this magazine, it is a must for every quilter, beginner to advanced, domestic machine or long arm.  I started a subscription to it a couple of years ago and recently sent in a photo of my "Connections" quilt.  Lo and Behold they put it into there "Northworth" section, "Quilts from our Readers", May 2011 issue, Page 70.  They have wonderful information throughout their publication, check them out with the link at the left.

Spring Snow

Oh, such a pretty sight!   Here it is April, my daffodils and lilacs were blooming here in California. Roses and Iris budding - Now we get freezing weather and snow last night!  This is not just a powdery snow, but heavy 3" of  ICE! My sago palms are covered in icy snow - California palms don't like that.   My yard is really going suffer - good thing I picked a bunch of lilacs for the house the last couple of days!  We usually get snow once a year, but not this late in the spring.
