I am so excited to have finished the first block of The Civil War Bride Quilt!
I thought the pieces in the top right and left corners were leaves, so I made them green. After going on the Civil War Bride Quilt blog, I see that maybe they are supposed to be birds! (How did I not see that!?!) Anyway…leaves they will stay!
Every time I put Amy’s quilt down and leave the room, the cat decides it is nap time. I keep a lint brush handy at all times!
I am making pretty steady progress on Amy’s quilt. I have one side border completely done. I have turned a corner and now on to the second side.
The next block of Sue Garman’s “Friends of Baltimore” looks pretty challenging! (See below.) The fabric is pre-washed and I am ready to get started!

Til next time…..

I was so excited to find your blog. I am new to blogging, but I too am working on Friends of Baltimore quilt. I have not posted any photos of it yet-I’ve been in my garden a lot lately. I love the Civil War Bride quilt…so many quilts, so little time….Please pop into my blog sometime. I’d love to hear from an experienced blogger and quilter…
Thank you so much for visiting by blog and the lovely comments! I visited your blog and love your log cabin quilt. Where did you get those hand-dyed fabrics? They are gorgeous! Which block of Friends of Baltimore are you working on?

I have been busy gardening and have not been working on FOB lately, but I have finished the first four squares and one border. I needed to work on something less complicated for summer and have another quilt that I designed with simpler applique. Photos to follow, of course… Which square are you working on? As for my log cabin, I dyed all of the fabrics. Too many projects….
I just discovered you through the quilting gallery. I wanted to feature some Ontario bloggers on my blog. Yours caught my eye and then I kept reading. My goodness, everyone is going to the east coast this summer. We spent two magnificent weeks in PEI in July.
Your blog is great. Love it.
Hi Bev:
Thanks for checking out my blog! We are going back to Cape Breton in October for Celtic Colours. There will be a craft fair and a quilt show!
I went on your blog and really enjoyed it!
