The naming of blogs is a serious matter... it isn't just one of your everyday games.... OK, sorry for stealing from T. S. Elliot. Dawn over at her blog asked why/how people named their blogs. So here's my answer: I love puns. It's that simple... I loved the play on words. No big deep secret here.
But if you're here, feel free to look around. Here's a little eye candy for you to enjoy while you're here:
I call this one 'All Colours are of God'. It is based on Jacqueline de Jongg's 'Circle of Life' quilt, except mine has been miniaturized to 18.5x18.5 inches and I replaced the central lonestar with a spiral lonestar. This quilt has won several awards, and has been displayed at Road to California and Houston, among other places:
This quilt was released this year at Bunny Hill Designs as a free block of the month. It might still be available free, but not for long. It is called 'Henrietta Whiskers'. I just love squirrels, so I HAD to make this quilt.
My mini-group, The Stitchin' Sisters, are making seasonal quilts this year. We have already made summer and fall. This is my latest one, Winter Wonderland. I am actually still quilting it, just the borders left to go.
Thanks for stopping by! Comments are welcome! :)

I goofed up on my link, so Dawn so sweetly added me back to the list. I would love if you get a chance to stop by and if you do, please leave a comment so that I know you were there.
Oh I haven't been to Road to California since I moved several years back, wish I would have seen your quilt AND you!
ReplyDeleteI agree, your All Colours are of God is amazing. Something I wouldn't try, so intricate looking.
