I want to take this time to say thank you to all who have stuck around and still visit my blog. I know I don’t post as often as I would like, but I find it hard to post when I don’t have anything to show. I do want you all to know that I still make the rounds to all the blogs (not just the ones listed in the sidebar). But I still cannot leave comments on a big part of the blogs. If your comments open up in a new window, I cannot comment without getting kicked off the internet. I think it must have something to do with pop-ups, but I am not going to disable my pop-up blocker. If your comments go to a new screen/page, I have no trouble leaving comments for you. I wish I knew exactly how to fix this because I really hate not being to comment on all the wonderful things I have been seeing/reading on your blogs.
I have been playing around some and created a couple of small non-textile pieces, haven’t taken any photos though. I intend to make a few more with the same theme. I just am waiting for my muse to nudge me along again. In the meantime, I have started on another lap quilt. A few months ago I went through my stash and picked several fabrics and then scanned them into EQ6 and played around with a number of different designs and color schemes. It took me forever before I chose one. Then it took me awhile to get around to actually start working on it. Over the past week I cut all the fabric, stitched up the 45 blocks and have 7 of the 9 rows stitched.
These are the two blocks in the quilt.
Pretty wild I know but I am sticking with trying to use what I have in my stash. I used the center piece of the first block to pull my colors. I pulled fabrics that came the closest in color and by the amount of yardage each piece was.
This is going to be one bright quilt when finished.

Pretty! I love the purple-y color and the green together :)
I dont know what browser you use but if you are using INternet Explorer you might want to consider Mozilla Firefox instead. Not only is it a LOT safer to use because its not as easy to slip a virus past it but it also has a great feature built in that gives you the option to enable popups for only a certain page. My husband is a programmer and convinced me to install it on my computer. Since I did I love it and would never even think of using Internet Explorer again. Hope this helps...
Nice to have you back Micki--it's a bummer when the computer won't let you do what you want to seeing as we rely on it so much these days.
Love the blocks too.
Very bright colours. I like these.
Spring has arrived here, and I'm busy in the garden too.
I just love these too, the colors are so strong and dense! What a nice composition!
Have a good day
Andrea
