Well, it's practically the middle of March so I freely admit to "self-medicating" myself with color, color, color. The color yellow, specifically - and it's funny how my creative cravings seem to be cyclical because I was doing the same thing this time last year.
The pattern for the quilt I'm working on can be found here. I like it so far because I haven't had to cut special diamond pieces with a template - it's just squares - my favorite. I'm going to stick with variations of squares as long as possible . . . make a thorough study of it. (And also I have cut out a lot of extra 3" squares for all of the other quilts I've been making, so I need to use them up. ) I'm thinking of putting this star on a field of yellow fabric . . . let's just go bright.
The elephant has returned. This is going to be a little pillow for my niece. My sewing machine is currently tucked away in the closet, but I need to pull it out and start sewing things together.
Hope March is treating you kindly.
XOXO

ReplyDeleteBeautiful Jillian - you are so talented! Love the elephant pillow - the small needlework looks like little jewels.
ReplyDeleteHi Jillian, I love finding another wonderful blog via a comment left on mine. Have been having a read through and your space here is just beautiful. Looking forward to following. Elaina xo
ReplyDeleteThe elephant is gorgeous! Your loaves look yummy - what nuts are on the top? We have a number of walnut trees here and they're dropping fruit at present. :-)
ReplyDeleteI used walnuts to top the loaves - walnuts and a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon. Thank you!
DeleteHi Jill, I have been missing your blog. Glad to see a new post!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenny! What do you think of the quilt?
DeleteI love the quilt! It would make me so happy to piece it together.
DeleteHi Jill - the fabric on your star is bright and inviting - it looks like the bag of Starburst jelly beans I just poured into the candy dish. I'm reaching in now for a mouthful of yummy goodness!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love for you to teach me to quilt! And, if you ever need an extra project, our house has the elephant theme, so I would totally LOVE a little thing with one of those ADORABLE elephants! You are too creative!
ReplyDeleteHi Jill! Wow, the elephant quilt is quite a masterpiece! I think I have said this to you and your Sister before, but you country ladies are sure a talented domestic bunch!...LOL! I have enjoyed reading your updates.
ReplyDeleteSteve! Thank you so much . . . ug, it has been taking me forever to finish this little pillow, but I have to get it done before "Brookie" leaves for college. Hope you are well. Thanks for the comment and for following my blog.
