Nothing like fresh Hibiscus flowers in bloom!

We spent a week in FL.   A little R & R and a chance to get away from the cold. This was our view from our hotel room.

If you have been looking for a nice way to help support the community - and get a special gift for yourself or someone you love, now is your chance. Raffle tickets for theQUILT Inc.  (Quilters United In Learning Together - Delmar Chapter) has a wonderful quilt that will be raffled off in April 2013. Now is the time to buy your tickets! The quilt is spending about a month at many of the area quilt shops - I believe it will soon be at Joyful Quilter in Glenville.

Here's a sneak peek at the raffle quilt:

The ladies did a wonderful job with the piecing and hand applique. You can check with the guild ladies for the current location - www.quiltinc.org  So grab your tickets and cross your fingers and maybe you will own this quilt before the end of April!

This is a picture of me in front of my quilt "Hawaiian Dawn". It is my original design created after attending classes with Ricky Tims. This quilt has won several ribbons including: two Best of Show; Best Machine Quilting; Exceptional Merit; All Original Work Special Merit; three First Place, and two Teachers Awards. And this is probably one of the few times you will see my face in this blog!
