This card would be perfect for many occasions, wouldn't it?!
(Especially for we squirrel-chasing quilters, yes?)
Speaking of squirrels, I'm happy to have finished my version of Stitches from the Heart, a pattern from Fat Quarter Shop. I say my "version" because I didn't quite follow the directions to the letter, and ended up adding the appliqued Love at the top. Today it is all finished!
I decided to hang it on the side of the fridge with pictures of all my special people surrounding it.
This was the perfect DrEAMi for January!
Linking up with Sandra at mmmquilts for the January DrEAMi show!
One day last week, I had some blueberries to use up, so I found this recipe from Desserts for Two and made just four blueberry muffins. Just the right amount for a family of two! They have a little lemon zest in them, which adds a nice flavor.
And what I've been reading this week... The Chain by Adrian McKinty, recommended by Susie from Knitty Quilter.
Let me just say that this is a thriller, a page-turner, and a "What would you do if you found yourself in this kind of situation?" kind of book. It's not a cozy mystery. But I can't put it down - so, thanks, Susie!
Hope you're having a great week! I'm joining in with LeeAnna and friends at Not Afraid of Color for I Like Thursday.
OMG your binding is perfect! And I like the addition of the word LOVE! Great job!
ReplyDeleteYour blueberry muffins look fantastic! I need to bake!
Your Love mini quilt is so happy! I love the binding.

Perfect spot for that pretty little mini! I just read the first few pages of that book on Amazon and put it on my "must-read" list.
ReplyDeleteLove the squirrel -- and your squirrel, too!
ReplyDeleteit is hard to find recipes for 2 isn't it. Some recipes it is hard to cut down enough to do so or you have to make the whole thing and freeze a lot which takes up space. I will look the book up and see what it is about
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to hear that you're enjoying (is that really the right word? So scary!) book. I'm about 1/2 way as I just passed the 5 hour mark of the 10-hour audiobook. This author has several other books, including a series with an Irish detective Sean Duffy. Love your version of Stitches from the Heart and it sure looks perfect up on the frig!
ReplyDeleteI think we need that card in bulk amounts! Hahaha! Clever idea, hanging your little heart mini on the fridge. I might have to do that with mine! Thanks for the book suggestion, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a LOVE-ly little squirrel project, Diann!!
ReplyDeleteYour little quilt is gorgeous and I agree I love your binding. Blueberry muffins for 2 sounds like an awesome recipe.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your finish. It is adorable hanging on the fridge!
ReplyDeletenow what could you mean 4 muffins are enough for a family of two?? Not WE two! they sound perfect, going to look at that recipe!
ReplyDeleteLove that card! Love that heart, too - that came out really good! mmm... blueberry muffins
ReplyDeleteHi Diann! That is the perfect card for many situations and especially for a Dreami and/or squirrel project. Those muffins look delicious! ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteAnother book to add to my list, that no matter how fast I read, never gets shorter! I really like your heart mini, and the addition of 'Love' is perfect! As for the card, YASSS!!
ReplyDeleteYour LOVE heart block turned out so cute!! I love your solution to the space at the top.
ReplyDeleteThat squirrel card is really cute. I have a collection of cute cards to send to the SIT when school starts getting rough. Sometimes people just need a smile.
ReplyDeleteThe card is so funny and appropriate!!! Great job on the heart quilt, timely, too!!!
ReplyDeleteI love page turners. I must check out this book!
ReplyDeleteTHe muffins look delicious and remind me that I am hungry.
