Happy Groundhog Day, everyone!
Groundhog day is one of the silliest holidays of the year, right up there with April Fools Day, and no matter what Punxsutawney Phil, the plucky marmot from Pennsylvania says about his shadow, we know that Spring is eventually going to arrive, and I am excited about it.
What does a small town in Pennsylvania know about the coming of spring, anyway? Here in North Carolina it was 72 yesterday afternoon, blissfully so, and I want to THINK SPRING, I’m going to do it full force, shadow or no!
So onto the exciting website news.

Wanderlust Quilt with Bonnie Hunter (Scrap Quilting Basics from Beginning to Binding!)
My job for today.
I’ll be finishing the quilting on Dawn’s Early Light, and hopefully will have time to get the binding on. My time home is winding down, I fly to Houston on Saturday and I’m happy to say that I won’t have to hide my face from the quilters who I’ll be seeing. “The Thing” is greatly reduced in size, antibiotics are doing their trick and I’m sticking with the full round so it doesn’t come back, whatever it was.

Quiltville Quote of the Day!
I found this little tattered Sunbonnet Sue quilt at an antique shop yesterday. (More about that in tomorrow’s post!) I wondered what kind of quote would go with it, and I found one!
It pays to look on the bright side. ALWAYS.
Not to mention a bonnet like this could hide THE THING on my face!
Happy Thursday everyone --
){kind=link}
So glad it is going away. Things like that can be so scary when you don't know what they are. Have a great trip!
ReplyDeleteLet us know what you find out about your THING, please. Praying it is harmless and easily taken care of...

Thanks for the sale--I picked up some things I really "needed"! :)
ReplyDeleteDid the Garlic Knot block appear in a 100 quiltmaker magazine?
ReplyDeleteHow do you enter two codes, one for digital and one for free shipping?
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear that "thing" is healing and on its way to being history soon! Loving your Dawns Early Light quilt :*)
ReplyDeleteLove Sun Bonnet Sue and her Bonnet. Perfect Quote on this crazy Groundhog Day! YEA for RX helping the "Thing" on your face. Happy Travels to warmer Texas. More picture taking in the 5" of the WHITE Stuff happening at my house. Dreaming of MAY!!!
ReplyDeletehi--I really hate to tell you what the 'thing' on your face is--
ReplyDeleteI know cause I have ended up with the 'thing' on my face in different areas at least 4 times in my lifetime so far--and each and every time it has been a tooth problem--
now wait--keep reading--every time--I did not have any kind of toothache, before, or during the swelling--but each time the 'root' of the problem was a tooth--
and as for the heat--yes it makes it feel better--but I was always told not--not to use heat as it make the infection grow faster--
just my 2 cents my dear--
enjoy the moments,di
What is the size of the Spanish Rose quilt?
ReplyDeleteI'll take 72` It was 2 degrees on my front porch this morning at 7am 2*2*2017 Leavenworth Washington and more SNOW in the near future!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, so happy your doing better. Been on pins and needles waiting to hear. Have a great time. I will see you in Washington State in May! :)
ReplyDeleteWO HOO! I was just complaining that I haven't finished the MQ and it's down now! I don't have a printer so it's difficult to keep going. this AM I bought the digital patterns and NOW it and Garlic knots are in my Inbox!!!! Since I know you are not going to send me your garlic knots quilt! :) I will have to make one for my self.
ReplyDeleteLet us know about the "thing" and when it disappears. It is a mystery - and not a good one.
ReplyDeleteTry as I might, I could not bet my chosen book, Addicted to Scraps, AND the triangle tool both to appear in my shopping cart. Either one or the other would appear but not both when I tried to check out. GRRRRR! What am I missing about how to operate shopping in your online store??
