This book Lizzie's Legacy is published by Kansas City Star, and Betsy Chutchian's second book. History Repeated is certainly one of our all time favorites - and we know this will be equally enjoyable. Lots of great pictures and a bit of history - our favorite kind of treasure!
And we took just a few minutes, truly, to strip-piece this table topper. It is from a tutorial we found online, so no pattern required. Of course, we can hardly wait to make it again in our favorite Halloween fabrics! This great stonehenge shamrock fabric line, could make some festive napkins or bibs if you have a wee one to celebrate. Go here for step-by-step how to's

And since we were in the mood for spring green (aka poison green) and daffodils, this little one patch quilt was just right. A smaller version (1 inch finished squares) was made from leftovers and is perfect to set a vase of fresh daffodils upon. We are wrapping up our Prairie Womens' group and haven't committed to our new path just yet, but if these are the types of projects you'd like to work on and would like to join our monthly sewing group, please put your name down and we'll get in touch when our plan is ready. Here are some other photos from our current session.

As you might be able to guess, this last little quilt was created just as an excuse to try the new Ghiradelli turtle brownie mix - we followed the recipe for the cookie option on the back of the box.... thumbs up from the entire sewing group!
P.S. We have received over 20 civil war sampler challenge quilts - they'll be on display starting on the 20th! The Tri-County quilt tour also starts on the 20th and I'm pretty sure our quilt will be ready....
