I saw this little pond behind a gelato shop. Sitting in their eating area was like being in Europe.

Crazy Quilt Test
I talked about Barsha’s silk crazy in a Sept. 16 post. I kept not posting about this project for some reason. I think I just never got around to it. Here is the finished top. I still need to make the back, but it shouldn’t take too long. This will be a project I will give away, but to whom, I don’t know.
I made it with one of the packs of Moda squares I bought in Maryland. The fabrics were Friends and Flowers by Mary Engelbreit. I found that I didn’t have to cut and resew as many times, which was nice. I thought it was a good thing to do with those fabric packs. I found that I didn’t like the fabrics that much and was glad I hadn’t bought a Jelly Roll.
Be*mused Lovelies
I am wasting time again and went over to see if Jan at Be*mused had posted anything lately. I was rewarded to find some bits and pieces of lovely, cheerful sewing. She also mentions Liberated Piecing a la Gwen Marston, of which I am huge fan. Jan’s fabric combinations are gorgeous and, did I mention, CHEERFUL?! I love the blocks and pieces that she has made and can’t wait to see the outcome.
Nice Blog Found
I found a blog today through the Dear Jane Flickr group. Jean is participating in the DJ challenge. I like her writing style and her attention to grammar and spelling.
