Quilts that Make Us All Smile! And isn't that what we all want to do?

 

Susie Urban Decker did this darling purple cow! She took the cow out of the book which now is available in pattern.

I love how she was so original with the background, the happy face and the fabrics! You can tell she is a happy person and quilter!

Wonderful cow quilt from my cow pattern. I have the pattern done in TWO sizes! $12. 

It's a great guild challenge and people love to see them together.

I went to the Coeur D'Alene quilters show and one of my favorite quilt shops was there. Island Quiktercfrom Vashon Island had loads of bright and happy fabrics and since Iam working on a chicken book I grabbed fabric that looks led like feathers and had good texture. Really fun! By the way Island Quilter is open again  in a new building!

My backyard changes from day to day. I get so much peace there and new ideas for happy quilts. It's a nice place to pray for friends who are ill or just come to mind. I am blessed.

My daughters birthday was this week and the same day I got done with my radiation for Breast cancer! Hooray. Now I have the rest of the summer to heal and then I am off to places to teach creativity, easy piecing and story quilts! 

My daughter and I went out for manicures, pedicures and lunch. A lovely day together!

I hope the summer is bringing blessings your way too. Pay it forward and be a blessing to someone who needs it today.
