Sunday Around The House

 Wilson left early this morning for a board meeting at the

Writers Center in Bethesda so I got much accomplished -

this [in part] is contributed to getting up early.

 A few days ago I mentioned I was working on a quilt I 

named Jungle Love.  That top went together super quick. 

Now I'm using the leftovers [plus another piece I had from that line]

in the top you see Derby walking on.

 I love this photo!  Last night I glued the flat back

pearls and crystals to the quilt my sister wants to give
her mother-in-law.  After all that work I didn't want to fold it
so there she hangs.  The boxes next to Derby hold my

collection of Xmas fabric.  On the shelves are plastic tubs

marked by size.  These are for leftover scraps I cut into

blocks.  This is in preparation for donating to the next
quilt show and boutique sale in 2 years.

 Simple borders around the tree panel.

Sample Block 

Yes, I'm starting another bird quilt!  This fabric came from 

my trip to Lancaster.  Will try and get the other sample block

done on Monday.  

 A small part of the bell collection.  The majority of bells

are on the opposite side of the fireplace.

 Derby

 They are down for the count.

Bottle brush trees are back in style.  I remember them as a kid

but never cared much about collecting them until now.
