love pretty little ceramic dishes for my sewing bits and bobs and rings and earrings and such karen gave me a mini blue and white quilt patterned after the blue and white quilt she made for her challenge i got a real kick out of this tiny book my son bought for me as a joke taken from an actual book on manners for wives published in 1913 lots of good tips on how i can be a better wife if he can possibly imagine a better wife haha honestly i never tell him about or bore him with the dreadful crimes our servants have committed during the day wouldn t dream of it where am i all the time the older i get the harder it is to tell some days my husband made me promise i would sit by the fire with him and sing to him every night he said he would absolutely love that julia made me a pretty blue necklace i got the mini keurig i wanted all in all it was a good day and if you are rolling your eyes about now i promise i will not mention my birthday ever again matter of fact i might not even have one next year posted by kathleen tracy at 1 10 pm 14 comments monday september 19 2016 blue and white challenge quilt we had a blue and white quilt challenge in my small quilt groups of course i couldn t even think of not making something blue is my favorite color here s what inspired me some of you may remember my encounter with a mysterious coffee cups quilt awhile ago you can read about it here shortly after i wrote that post the mystery was solved i knew that a blue coffee cups quilt was in my future this challenge was the perfect opportunity to achieve my goal i have to smile every time i look at it so it will surely end up hanging in my kitchen while i make my morning coffee to perk me up there will be a pattern available on my website soon so you can make your own in your favorite color thanks to all of you who participated in this sweet little challenge it was a joy to see the gorgeous quilts you made looking for quilting fun and inspiration join my group posted by

at my age i should not be asking for time to fly by fast but i am so ready for september and cool cool weather my garden has gone from bad to worse if it s not hot hot hot here then it s raining and my allergies are awful so i have not felt like spending time tending to anything in the front or backyard sad but i d rather be at the chicago botanic garden walking and taking in the fresh air and nicely groomed gardens there ahhhh guess my other excuse for not gardening is i ve been busy quilting i ve still got two more quilts to hand quilt for my papa s shirts mama s dresses doll quilt club you ve already seen pattern 1 from the club cherry baskets here s the quilt i designed for august pattern 2 laundry day don t you love it sue bennett made this one i picked the fabrics she sewed she even made a matching pincushion love to see quilters having fun with my patterns cute pincushion displayed with a few of the flowers that actually made it through the summer in my garden hope some of you are enjoying these little quilts i know you are thinking whaaaat they re so light colored where are the dark reproduction fabrics that s because the first two were from the hot hot days of summer july and august and if you look hard enough the reproductions prints are still there they re just lighter ones mixed with some of my favorite shirtings lights don t worry the quilts in this club series get progressively darker as the seasons move along september s quilt has lots of reds and blue and applique october s quilt has some brown in it you can purchase the doll quilt club patterns here i m also working on finishing up a quilt for our small quilt group s challenge which is to make a blue white quilt you ll get a real kick out of mine and i know some of you will want to make one for yourself maybe i ll make up a pattern we ll have an online show of the quilts on september 16 i ve finished the top and still have to quilt it these challenges are really a lot of fun this time you can pick your own block or pattern and make it in blue and white simple is fine sometimes better we had a great turnout for the red white show last december hope some of you will join us again you
