Not so chatty lately!

I have been busy...but that is not a good excuse I guess. Let's see, what has been going on? I am getting close to finishing that quilt with the blue, brown and red stars. That is going to be gorgeous!

I have also done something I am so excited about! I ordered a desk to be hand made for me. It is wonderful. The man who is making the desk is a real craftsman. He uses all old wood working techniques, no nails, fits the pieces together with dovetail joints. The desk is going to be made out of butternut and will replace a big, dark, heavy roll top desk I have in the living room now. I want to have a smaller, lighter piece there. I feel I will make use of it rather than use it to hide junk.

One more thing to tell. I am making great progress on my applique quilt. The pattern is from one of the Dear Jane members and the little blocks are fun to make. My quilt will be made of red, green, yellow and just a hint of cheddar. I am excited to see this quilt progress!

I hope all my friends have a great weekend!
