I attend a work shop with Anelie Belden. She wrote the book Thoroughly Modern Dresden. She teaches her quick and easy construction method. I'm making the table runner so I can use up some of my stash. I picked out some beautiful oriental fabric and I hope it's not going to be too busy. I will post a picture when I'm done. The quilt pictured below is Romancing the Reds, one of the quilts featured in her book. I have the fabrics to make this and it's 3rd on my To Do Lists. I love red and white. These are Alex Andersons fabrics. Love them! 
That's Anelie on the right, holding up her beautiful quilt.
This sweet wall hanging is Blue and yellow Shineshine. I like blue and yellow's too and this might be added to my To Do List too.
This quilt is named Luisita and is 71" x 71". I looks like a kilidascoup but it is peaked-top blades that are fussy cut. It's very beautiful.
This was a great workshop and I recommend the book. She also has a special ruler, sold separterly, that assists in the cutting of the various blades. The book has a sheet of templets.
This is Tokay Stitch'N'Quilt Guilds 2010 Opportunity quilt. It's called Reflections and I'm proud to say, I helped make the blocks. Their quilt show is November 6 and 7 in Lodi.
On the 17th family and friends joined together to celebrate my Mom's 80+ birthday. I guess after 80, who's counting. Personally, if I make it to 80+ I'm going tell ya about it. I might even give you some tips on how to live till your 80. My Mom is in fairly good health and has a lot to be thankful for. This is a photo of my brother and his son and grandson and my daughter and one of my grandsons. So now she has a photo with four generations. We had a full house, lots of food and a great time. My Mom brought out some very old photo's, from before my time, and shared the life and times of the Donner Party. Just kidding, but that's what it was beginning to sound like. She complained about the white chalk they had to grind and mix with water so they would have something to polish their shoes with. Gee, have priorities changed or what?
What's a party with cake. So here we go, chocolate cake with chocolate fudge filling. I practiced my royal icing daffodils. Good thing this is just a hobby. A scoop of vanilla ice cream really topped it off, in more ways than one.
So now everyday is a weekend and I can do just about anything I want. How cool is that? I would say very cool. I'm going to finish my Dresden table runner and cut out my Turtles 'n Tidepools quilt.
