Quilts Not Snow
Unlike several other blog postings today, mine does not include that white stuff that started yesterday and won't quit. Coming home from work tonight was a challenge. I passed several fender benders at 20 mph and was very grateful I made it home in 40 minutes, double my usual time and up my steep driveway intact. I read Frieda Anderson's blog tonight and she talked of her love of trees. I guess I've found my niche in leaves. There are so many ways to express leaves in quilting. This is the quilt I started at the Retreat by the Lake.
Here is a view of a block exchange quilt. The blocks were dated 2001. I guess it's about time it became a top. I'm planning Jane Sassaman LEAF fabric for the border. Could be wild!
Linda has posted this music quilt on her blog but I like the way the light hits it hanging over the rail. OK, new skill. This is the first time I've inserted a link into by blog. What's next? Slide shows, music. I feel like I'm way behind but one step at a time.
Well, you are way ahead of me in the blogging world ---I just read and comment! I, too, love leaves (and trees) --- your leaf quilts have inspired me --- maybe someday!
I love your new quilt tops. The retreat was so conducive to getting lots of sewing and quilting done, don't you think? I know I accomplished more in those four days than I had for the past year. Love your blog, too.

The picture of the music quilt looks good up there.........
It's done and ready to send to Wyoming.

Love your quilt tops, Lisa. Especially the leaf one -- I'm a collector of leaf fabrics which I use often. Daisy
