A Red Kind of a Day


Today is a warm and red kind of day even though it is freezing outside. The guild, Calico Cutters that I belong to, makes Kids Quilts every year. It is an ongoing project but we make the quilts at the January meeting. I did not stay but brought a quilt I made at home. At this meeting they collected 39 quilts, now that gives you a nice warm feeling.
This block is from the online bee and is from Darci of Stitches and Scissors. It is great and I really like the scissors fabric.


So far I have recieved 3 blocks and they look pretty good together.



I have these old blocks that Yvonne from guild gave me. They are made of a heavy satiny like fabric. Maybe even ties, can you imagine what kind of guy would have worn that wild red and white in a tie? Maybe I can work these into the final design....




I think this picture of the sunrise looks cold and warm all at the same time. This is the view outside of my kitchen, off the deck. It was the start to a good day.

    Love those REDS ~ it is so happy. And your sunset view looks almost identical to mine. Small world, huh?

    It looks like an early start to the day judging from the photo. Oh I just love red and white.

    The red and white quilt is going to be gorgeous!
    The hexies look like fun. I'm anxious to see what you do with them. :)

    The red and white quilts are putting me in the mood for the Red and White quilt show at The Folk Art Museum in NYC. Just a little more than 1 month away I can't wait.
