Here is my version of Lori's QAL"Cascadia".......loved making this and look forward to another one!! Thanks for doing this, Lori!! I machine-quilted in the ditch between the rows and May go back and handquilt later!!
There is a new baby eaglet at one of the Florida nests!
And another likely hatch tomorrow!
Found this lovely postcard reminding us of the Reason for the Season! It was mailed in 1911 from Boothbay Harbor to Bath, Maine.
Not much posting lately but I have been working (and spending too much time relaxing!) Made 56 stars for my Colonial Medallion, needed only 36, so have enough for a small quilt of scrappy stars! Enjoyed doing that while listening to Ken Follett's third audiobook in the Century series, "Edge of Eternity" and am now listening to "All the Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr about WW2 occupied France.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All!!!! May 2015 be the year of Peace on Earth!!
Merry Christmas! Glad you have found time to relax. Love all the scrappy goodness of your Cascadia.
ReplyDeleteMy idea of relaxing is doing something I Want to do as opposed to something I Have to do!!
DeleteYou used some wonderful fabrics in your Cascadia quilt. There's nothing wrong with relaxing. Enjoy all of your holiday season.
ReplyDeleteI love using reproduction fabrics and probably will never change! 18th and 19th century quilts are what "talk to me".........and I do like the brightness of the 30's fabrics.......
DeleteMerry Christmas Cyndi! And a prosperous 2015 as well. Hope to see you in early New Year. I really enjoy the newsletters!

DeleteThank you, Dianne! Will be starting a new Jo Morton club around February!
Thanks for sewing along. I love your quilt and recognize many pieces of fabric that I have in my stash. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteLoved making your QAL and hope to do it again! Fun to check out each other's fabric stashes!
DeleteWonderful version of Cascadia, Cyndi! I didn't get this one made, but after seeing them, I really want to!
ReplyDeleteOh, that little eaglet is SO cute!
LOVE the vintage card. That is what it is all about!
Really enjoyed every minute of making this little quilt! Those little eaglets in many nests around the USA and Canada will entertain me for the next few months!! I collected vintage postacards at one time....maybe I should start again!! As if I need another hobby!
DeleteHello Cyndi !
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for your lovely Cascadia !! It was a very good experience and I really enjoyed to do it !!
Merry Christmas from France !! :)
Did you link it on Lori's page? I could not find it......what name is it under?
DeleteAll done. I know that is a good feeling. I enjoy Lori's sew-alongs and can see you do too.
ReplyDeleteThis was my first Sew-Along and I certainly enjoyed it enough to do it again!!!
DeleteCascadia is lovely. A belated Merry Christmas to you.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you! Perhaps I'll see you in spring?
DeleteThanks for the link to the eagles!!! The picture is so clear and it is amazing! BTW, love your Cascadia too.
ReplyDeleteProbably spend too much time watching Eaglets but find it fascinating........there will be a nice osprey nest cam here in Maine that I will also watch when they return in April.......nest is on the edge of a picturesque bay on the coast not too far away. Cascadia was fun to make!
DeleteCyndi, thank you for the post. Happy Winter Holidays to you. Cold snowy weather makes for excellent stitching time. Loved your little card. I have a special place in my heart for anything Bath, Me. My father was from Bath, spent some of my very young years there, it was where all of my fraternal side lived. I am sure it has all changed but would love once more to go down the little hill to Grammy's house. Also love your QAL from Lori. Just might need to make this. Happy New Year, Judy
ReplyDeleteOne of my best friends lives in Bath so I know a little bit about it! What street was your grandmother's home on? Bath is a very old city and has not changed too much in recent years. That QAL was very enjoyable to work on and I love looking at the finished quilt hanging in the dining room.
DeleteAwesome Cyndi! Can't wait to come up on Thursday - lucky me!
