I really do have good intentions to post on my blog. I just need to be better at it on my phone and then I could manage it easier. Getting the pictures to my computer takes effort. Well, not really, it's just plugging in a cable...
In my last post (two months ago!) I mentioned our house flooded. Almost all the repair work has been completed (the bathroom still needs baseboard and the floor guy said it wasn't his job) and I spent my entire spring break working on the house putting things back together and cleaning EVERYTHING, absolutely everything in this big house from the construction dust. "Someone" still needs to install my new laundry sink, but he has been busy farming. The laundry sink was old and since it had to come out we chose to replace it with a nice stainless steel one.
I have gotten some quilting done. These pictures are going to be in a random order.

| Wildest quilt top I have ever made - Kaffe fabric blocks from two swaps, assembled into one top. The string blocks were sliced in half and I made the middle fit by adding black and white. |
 |
| I used red and green Christmas low volume prints for this Chamomile Quilt. |

| Disappearing 4 patch |

| Partially finished block of the month sample quilt |
 |
| Easy Stripe Tablerunners |
 |
| Quilts I made for a 16 year old girl (she went to the one room elementary I work at) and her mom. The girl is undergoing treatment for her third bout of cancer. I put two different fleeces on the backs so they could tell them apart. All the blocks were made over the last couple of years as leader/enders. |

| Gnome is Where Your Garden Grows - shop sample top |
 |
| This is a VERY old UFO, more than 15 years old. I had the blocks done all this time. Today I put them into a top and I have a backing ready to baste and quilt it. I needed a gift for a college graduation and the young woman loves blue. I am using a fun a nd funky backing with pink, her other favorite color! |

You have been very busy this month between putting your house back in order and making quilts! I know you are thrilled to have the damage repair basically finished. Your quilts are all so different and unique...just how I like to quilt. I love the blue sampler quilt. How nice that you had all of the blocks finished and just waiting to be made into this gift.
So much fun, done behind the scenes! I haven't blogged much since I'm far away from Home. I need a cleaning day...at my house. But Quilting will be highest on my agenda after July!! I have many stacks of Blocks, all ready to make a quilt, many are 6" so it takes more of them. Love the all blues blocks. The stainless Farmhouse sink will be better. I find it hard to keep the stains off the Porcelain ones.
What a wonderful group of quilts to look at today. Saying you worked in a one room school house reminded me of my great aunt who did the same thing probably in the early 1900's. She was short and the family story is she packed a gun to keep the bigger, older boys in line. I have no idea where in Idaho she was. Here's hoping you continue to make and finish beautiful quilts.
Wowwweeeee that is a lot of progress... well done!
