Sunshine and Saturday's

It was just a beautiful day here in South Texas. I started the day out sewing and had every intention of completing at least one project. I layered a scrappy heart quilt for my daughter and I pieced together a couch throw made out of two charm packs of Sunshine by Moda. It is so pretty, really soft blues, greens and yellows. I just need to add a border and layer it. Anyway the sunshine was calling me, so i went goofing around. Ending up calling a realtor and she was more than happy to get out of the office for awhile. We looked at 7 or 8 houses in the area we want to live. Only 3 or 4 are actually in the running. But it was fun to look at the houses and get ideas for remodeling and decorating. The realtor was so sweet and she really didn't want to go back to work so we drove around and she took me to a house that her dad and brother are remodeling. It was so pretty and the kitchen was to die for. Loads of cabinets and roomy, really bright! Oh, to win the lottery!

I will post a picture of my January red work block. I started on the February block. I have posted the website below of the designer. I just love the primitive designs. I tea dyed the muslin for the blocks and it has the most charming antique look.

My daughter called and finally got herself an apartment. Yea! She has been without her own place for awhile now. I am sure it will feel good to put some roots down for awhile. She loves all my quilts and thinks she will get them all when I kick the bucket! I need to designate who gets what. Has anyone done that with their quilts?
