Really, the Month is Over?

Before this month is officially over...

I thought I would 

say hello for the first time in 2019

and reacquaint myself here!

We took a little family weekend trip here this month...

Monterey Bay Aquarium.

It was so fun with all the 

kids and grand littles!

Unfortunately my phone flat-lined a few weeks ago

(while in Monterey)

and I lost my photos

 and ALL of my 

phone numbers!

However,

I was able to take the SD card from the phone and 

bought a little item to put it in and then upload it to my

computer... thank goodness!

So good news... my photos are back

but 

bad news... my phone numbers are irretrievable.

Oh, 

and I have had a bit of a learning curve navigating a new phone.

What I am happy about is having an iPhone now and hopefully 

my photography will improve!

Here is my first project for 2019!

I had cut it out MONTHS a-g-o

but never seemed to get it off the back-burner and

to the sewing table.

So it was the priority for January!

It was such a fun quilt to make...

and I didn't get anything turned around, as I 

was afraid would happen!

The pattern is by Trish Poolson and it's free on the Riley Blake website.

You can get the pattern here (can't find page, sorry)

and a yellow rose version is also available here.

I also worked on this project this month...

it's called A Little Break.

This cute heart on a cup pattern is now available...

Here is my finished top!

Satomi has been so busy over the last year... making

some really cute patterns! 

You can find her shop here.

But you can find her over at Instagram too...

She is so sweet... you should follow her if you don't already!

I have already started cutting out a quilt for February...

so, I will be back soon!

But more importantly, I need to 

start spending more time viewing

your blogs... to see what you are

 doing so far in 2019!
