A Really Fun Blog!
Doing what I usually do every morning, reading my email and my favorite blogs, I came across another fun site! Kim at Dogquilters blog is a multi talented crafter/quilter/mixed media artist and she has a wonderful sense of humor! Be sure to pay her site a visit and wait for her photos to load! Yes, there's a bit of crazy quilting there too! And don't miss the darling little puppies!

A Peacock Feather To Embroider
I've mentioned before that I'm working on another peacock quilt. This one is 15 inches and won't fit on the scanner. I just drew up my feather again (I seem to like this on every peacock block I make) and it occured to me that my readers who do CQ's might enjoy this design as well. You should be able to click on the photo and that will take you to my Flickr album. I believe you can print it out from there.

Shamrock Heart And Other Stuff
Well, we're just about ready for the drywall on our ceiling in the main part of the living room. We just came back from picking up 6 sheets of drywall so first thing in the morning, we'll be starting to hang it. I hope it goes well. The smell of the old wood just gags me. It's a smell I will not miss!
On the stitching front, this is a pretty little St. Patrick's Day design by Sekas & Co. My aunt is so amused by my love of St. Patrick's Day, she sends me a nice little gift for the occasion every year and I really love that she does that for me. I still need to do the finishing on it. I picked up some twisted cording yesterday in a dark green and hopefully I'll have time to put it together this week. Yes, it'll be another doorknocker!

Kim's "Glad Shamrocks" Bellpull
March, is one of my favorite months of the year. I love St. Patrick's Day! I think it's because to me, it marks the beginning of Spring.
Last year, I did a counted cross stitch mystery project for the girls at my Chat Board titled "Glad Shamrocks". My model stitcher Kim, just finished hers and I asked if I could blog about it because it just came out so nice!
The verse, "May Your Thoughts Be As Glad As Shamrocks" came from an antique sampler and I always liked it. If anyone is interested, this design is still available on my website.
I thought this beautiful piece would make a nice post for today. Thanks Kim, for allowing me to share your stitched piece with my readers!

Simply Quilts On HGTV
It's come to my attention, that Alex Anderson's "Simply Quilts" show on HGTV in the US has been cancelled. I'm heartbroken! I've learned so many wonderful techniques from watching that show!
There's a petition available online in hopes of keeping it up and running. Here's the link in case anyone would like to sign it:
