Kay's Daffodil's and Snow

Yesterday I picked these daffodils because they were about to bloom and I knew they wouldn't make it through the snow storm.  Look at them now!  Spring is on the way!  With all the bad weather the last couple of weeks I was beginning to wonder.  Here are some snow pictures from my back yard. 

Grandpa  Huning's windmill.  It keeps falling apart but Jeff and one of  his buddies put it back together a couple of times. 

I hope winter ends soon, I am ready for Spring.!

Kay's Star Quilt

This star quilt is made from leftover star blocks from a quilt I made several years ago.  As usual I cut out way too many blocks so even though I used a bunch of them in this quilt I still have a bunch more star blocks.  I think that the original quilt was a star quilt that I made for Kristy but I'm not sure.   The stars are really a brighter yellow than it appears in this photo.  It was to intended to be used as a lap quilt but I got carried away and it is a little big for a lap quilt.  These colors are some of my favorite colors to work with.  As usual Joan Westhoff did an excellent on the quilting.  I tried to get a picture of some of the quilting she did.  She quilted stars in the red and blue blocks.  It really looks nice.  I am thinking about giving it to the ladies at our church.  They can use it for a fund raiser or they can give it away.  I know that they will find a good home for it! 

New quilt and whatnot (posted by Lorri)

We got a new sofa a couple of months ago.  Of course this meant we needed a new quilt for the sofa.  My hubby was kind enough to test drive the finished quilt this weekend.

I used fall colors for this cozy quilt.  I'm pretty sure he was watching the golf channel at this point. 
 

Naturally, I had to make pillows also.  I like the feather pillow inserts from Hancocks.  Makes for a nice soft pillow.

And because I am real glutton for punishment, I made the piping for the pillows from the leftover quilt binding.  I haven't worked with piping for awhile, so a few choice words flew from my mouth.

 

All done, now what to make next?
