This is how it looks up on my inspiration wall so far..... After I figure out what to do about the flowers (They need to be cut down and I don't want to chop off their points) I can add more fabric, stems, and centers to the flowers and stitch it all together. No big deal for a real quilter but this is my first "real" quilt. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We painted my daughter's room two weeks ago. I had to take a picture of it before these walls were gone for all eternity. She is in her second year at Chico now and has moved into a house with three other girls. We are going to turn her room into a more neutral guest room. She did this paint job when she was sixteen- the other walls had pink, green and blue racing stripes. The man in the picture is my husband, contemplating the work ahead. </span>Katyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13909749208317063908noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326126215120088119.post-19997211302322352132011-08-05T19:39:00.000-07:002011-10-01T18:50:31.634-07:00Second Sunday Quilting Group<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Welcome to Second Sunday Quilting! </span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTSp273taTbUCTXb3bHZn53G57fOsa81a1YRb6ePXpprfqDe14AVWLppemeI_KpgbMhOKNoUEgh4FubdOFf7reM6qPxQ3AIx0mjE4CjHznqIaiSNPprtTlCVDCJMMscx1gktw64FOvyJxu/s1600/Adamine+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTSp273taTbUCTXb3bHZn53G57fOsa81a1YRb6ePXpprfqDe14AVWLppemeI_KpgbMhOKNoUEgh4FubdOFf7reM6qPxQ3AIx0mjE4CjHznqIaiSNPprtTlCVDCJMMscx1gktw64FOvyJxu/s400/Adamine+1.JPG" width="400" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i><b>Beginning Sunday, Ocotber 9, 2011.</b></i> </span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Our group is comprised of local ladies who like to get together to quilt.
