Paint Party

Saturday, the members of the Wendell Woman's Club had a Paint party to raise funds for our Scholarship Fund.  We had a lot of fun - door prizes - snacks and wine - great way to spend an afternoon.

I know, I know ----- I should have had more wine!

Confetti Quilt Finished

In June 2013, I took a class for this quilt from Augusta Cole at the Goldsboro, NC Quilt Guild with friends C & S.  

They finished theirs and had them quilted by the end of the year. 

 Mine had been resting in a box until I need a project to work on at our March Bee.  I had planned to make a small version and use it as a table cloth.

But ---- I had more blocks made than I remembered so I made the full size version.  

The borders were difficult as the directions left a lot to be desired in that area.

But it is done and the binding is finished.  It is 84 by 92"

Pink Morning

This Rugosa rose caught my eye as I was fixing coffee this morning.  I planted it in 1997 when we moved back to Wendell.  Over the years it has become a part of the shrubbery.  Some years it has very few blooms but I like the way it climbs up and wraps itself around the old bird feeder.

On my way to the car I spotted these other flowers in bloom.  All pretty in pink this morning.
