I like 2019-#6

I like Winter bulb blooms

My sister in law gave me a Winter

bulb for Christmas, but I did not

plant it immediately. 

I

I planted it a few weeks ago and it

has begun to bloom. There are 5 more

flowers waiting to open up.

I like my new car

It took me months of research and

days of visiting car sale sites, but I 

finally found my car

My last couple of cars have been red,

but this Rav4 is more purple.

It is a dream to drive. I still

need to figure out all the buttons

and devices it has on the dash.

I like "new to me" fabric

A friends Mother passed away a

few months ago and she cleaned out

her fabric stash. Her Mom was a

maker of beautiful quilts.

My quilt group is going to go crazy

with all the boxes of fabric!

I took some of the red and blue fabrics

Everything else will be up for grabs...

I like the first signs of Spring

I noticed the bulbs in our front flower

bed are beginning to peak through the

mud and snow.

I have tulips, Iris,

and daffodils.

I am ready for Spring!

I Like 2019-#5

I like....

I like Ultrasounds

I know...kind of a weird "I like" item,

but this week I was able to view my

9th grandchild in an Ultrasound.

(this is not my grandchild...photo from Google)

Technical advancements in ultrasounds are

absolutely amazing, We could see the four

chambers of her heart...her fingers and toes...

even her little face.

I like handkerchiefs

I use handkerchiefs in my art quilts.

I always have one in my purse. I

prefer to use them, instead of paper

tissues.

I like Podcasts

I have recently discovered Podcasts.

I loaded the Podcast Addict app on my phone.

I listen to podcast while I sew

and while I ride my exercise bike

and while I soak in the bath.

I like 2019-#4

Welcome to my weekly I Like post.

I like Vintage Valentines

So sweet...so cute...so silly

I like to knit

I have taken a couple months off from

knitting after finishing many projects

for the Christmas holidays.

I am beginning to knit again.

I am starting with the first pattern in

my pattern list on Ravelry.com

I hope to finish a bunch of

projects this year.

I like reading

I like to read before I go to sleep each night

I just finished the book "Wonder".

I am going to the Library today

to find my next read.

I like quilts by

Gloria Loughman

She is coming to the Utah Quilt Fest

in September to teach. 

I am hoping to get to take one

of her classes.

I love her architecture quilts.

I like post 2019-#3

Wow...I can not believe it has been

a entire month since I posted!

I like....

I like Paintstiks

I went to the Road to California Quilt Conference

at the end of January. So many wonderful quilts,

classes and demo's. 

The Conference Center converts some of the

Men's bathrooms over for use of the many women

who are attending...

I took a class on Paintstiks. It basically looks

like a huge crayon, which is a solid form of

oil paint with a wax coating.

I learned how to use rubbing plates, raised

stamps and stencils. I liked the rubbing 

plates best. I bought plates for snow flake

and tile designs.

The Teacher was Laura Murray, who was great!

Here is a video of her explaining the technique.

I like the Beach

I was raised by the beach, but I do not live

close to it. I miss it.

While in California for the Quilt

Conference, I went to Seal Beach.

It was the beach I grew up on as a child.

So calming...and relaxing...

I like to try new things

This week, my Church's

Ladies organization had a paint night.

I am not a painter, but I tried it out.

We painted a Winter Tree.

You could also add heart shaped

leaves to it, but I do not decorate

for Valentines, so I kept it

a Winter scene only.

Not too bad for a first attempt, I think.

Now that I have had a wonderful

week renewing

myself with Sun, Sand, Ocean,

quilting and family,  I am ready

to take on the Utah Winter again!
