A HA . . .

. . . I knew there was a good reason that I was keeping all those little snippets from the cuttings of my blocks from my Block of the Month quilt. I had already sewn them together into little squares, so it was just a matter of pressing, squaring them up, sewing them together . . .


putting them around this fabric for a sashing . . .

to come up with a fantastic pillow to go with the quilt!

As for another A HA: so this is why my Christmas cactus didn't bloom for Christmas. It was waiting for Valentine's Day.


Hope you all have a sweet one . . . Valentine's Day, that is.

Mary Lynn, Your quilting and knitting is beautiful. I quilt a little and learned to knit when I was 8, but haven't knitted in years. I'm sorry to hear your cancer is back. They keep coming up with new drugs everyday, so hang in there. Have you been on Rituxan yet? I'll keep you in my prayers. Enjoy everyday and take them one at a time.
Sincerely, Melanie Tran
