one of the projects i did in my down time without a sewing machine was paint my kitchen. the color is spanish olive and i LOVE it. this is not a great picture of the color because it looks a bit yellowish but it's brighter and i LOVE it. (obviously i wasn't working on my in basket!! :) oh well.
lastly, we are in ohio for my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary!! that's my husband giving a very sweet speach about is parents. he is one of six. i was SO VERY PROUD of him!!! it was a GREAT night!!! so now that i'm up and running i really will have a giveaway! i'm going to be going to fabric shack while i'm here so stay tuned!!!! :)

  7. Welcome back! (Don'tcha hate it when "life" and glitches get in the way of quilting?) Love your kitchen color. I think we all need more COLOR in our lives. (Maybe that's why we quilt?)

    Your in-laws look very young to have been married 50 years. Congrats to them. (Gak! I just realized hubby and I are just four years behind them in count!)

    Looking forward to more posts . . . and pictures.

  8. Love the new kitchen color! It is fabulous. Sigh... I wish I could get up the courage and just do it.

    Your SSS blocks are lovely. The flowers you chose for the garden block are fabulous, and the square-in-squares look amazing. Welcome back! :)
