Snowball 9-patch Quilt


Front-
92"x75", blocks are 4 1/2" finished

 Back-
Detail-
 Finished!

I spoke to soon about spring. We had sleet and snow last night and schools opened 2 hours late. Couldn’t find the snowdrops this morning, but is this a purple crocus? Hmmm, I don't think you can see it.




Okay, you’re going to laugh. Here is are some pics of my sewing room and it doesn’t look much better than before. It feels better to me and I guess that is what counts. All ready for the additional son and dog!


These granola bars are fabulous! I have to watch my sugar and these give me a fix, but I don’t feel like I’ve over done it. They are from The Barefoot Contessa (Ina Garten). I used dried, unsweetened coconut (found at Whole Foods) and cut the other 1 ½ cups of dried fruit to 1 cup. This is my third and best batch.

Thanks, Mom!

  4. Your quilt is yummy, like the granola bars, but the back is my favorite part! Good use of leftover fabrics.

  5. Maureen....the snowball quilt is fabulous! Love it! It is so warm and cozy looking....it's my favorite color scheme for quilts. And your room is looking great....and hey, that carpet is a dividing line....son and dog are NOT to go beyond that line into your domain! Be firm! lol

    Can't wait to try the granola bars....I've watch Ina's in bits and pieces, and she makes some really good stuff.....but she reminds me so much of my older sister (that irritates me to no end), so I have a tough time watching whole shows! But I'll try this recipe for sure!

  10. HOW I FINALLY JOINED THE ILLUMINATI BROTHERHOOD AFTER MANY FRAUD

    HELLO everyone, my name is Aileen, I am from Iceland, I am giving my testimony about how I joined the Illuminati brotherhood, I tried to join this organization for many years, I was scammed by some fake agent, I was so depressed that I couldn't feed myself or even pay my bills and family, and I tried to make money in different ways but everything went in vain, I was afraid to contact any Illuminati agent because I had been scammed many times and they ate my hard earned money, one day I came across a post of someone giving his testimony thanking a man named Lord Adams for helping me join the Illuminati brotherhood, then I looked at the man's email and phone number which was written below, I was really scared because I didn't want to lose contact with him again because I had been scammed many times by scammers who ate my 173,000 euros and I left with the money, and then I was so confused that I decided to contact the person whose testimony was given. I called him and communicated with him over the phone. Before he started telling me his story about when he wanted to join, he told me everything I needed to do. Then I decided to call an agent named Lord Adams, who told me everything I needed to do. He did, and I was initiated. To my surprise, I received the benefits of being a new member of the great Illuminati brotherhood. I was so happy that my life had turned around, and it was all thanks to him.
