Championships, Cinderella and Quilts

Just three items quickly before I rush off to class. First, all of Ohio is still basking in the glow of the National Championship victory over Oregon. What an awesome ride we've had this season!

Brutus loving on the trophy.

The night after the BIG GAME, several of us in the family had tickets to see Cinderella at Cincinnati's Aronoff Center. It was magical.

Niece Mary Jean, niece Abby, brother Mark, niece Anna Rose, and sister-in-law Ann. It was a late night for us - and a school night at that - but we had an enchanting evening.

During intermission, AR and Daddy talk over some of the action.

Also during intermission, MJ hops on my lap to discuss the show.

Sandwiched in between the game and the musical, Sharon came over for a day of sewing. Oh, how I've missed it! Getting back to focusing on many plans and projects is exactly what I needed, and we are well-suited to keeping each other motivated.

Sharon got right to work sewing on the binding for a quilt you will recall from back in November.

Dotty Frames! This was gifted to Sharon's DD Amanda for Christmas. Now it is finished!

I did a bit of sewing, too, but I will have to share that tomorrow. Gotta' run!

Happy Quilting, Friends!

Dotty Frames

It's eye candy day, dear friends! Not many words and lots of glorious color!

As you probably know, Sharon P. and I have been sewing together on Tuesdays for awhile now. I have not shown you her current project, so get ready because it's a beauty.

It's from the book Quilt Grandeur by Kaffe Fassett, so of course it will have impact. Even in the block stage this is true.

 

The name of the quilt is Dotty Frames; here's the page of directions from Sharon's book.

Get a load of the color! Fascinating! (Or Fassett-nating!)

When we finished up yesterday, she had 6 more blocks to make and then would be ready to begin sewing the rows together. Won't it be wonderful?

Ha! All that candy and not a single calorie! Now how do you like that?!

Happy Quilting, Friends!
