Are you ready to see......The Wall???

I've had everything up for a while, but have had problems getting a decent shot.  Since I was shooting into the window the light was playing havoc with the camera.  I kept getting reallly dark pictures. I was totally bummed!  Then the sweet Allie came to the rescue and gave me some tips on how and when to take the pictures.  It worked!!  Thank you so much Allie!!!   So, without further ado...

The Wall


Closer look on the right...


Closer look on the left....


And the center...


And the pictures does not do it justice!  It is so cool, and everyone notices right away when they come into my room.  They ask if they are mine, and I get to tell where they are all from and the fun story behind them.  Thank you all who sent a block for my wonderful wall!   

I've got a little more space to fill, so if you would like to send me an unloved block, I would love to have it!

Thanks for checking on me,
hugs,
joanne

love to hear what you've got to say.....

Quick Quilting Post Today

I've got a lot on my plate today, headed to my favorite little quilt shop here in New Hampshire for their BOM. I "need" to do a little shopping while I'm there.  Saturday I'm going to a guild class.  We will be making tote bags, one to donate to the guild for their "Bag Raffle" and one for me.  I'm sure it will be fun, but I need to pick up some new fun fabric from Four Pines to make it happen.

Also need to show you this cute little Christmas tree that Becky made and sent me.  I've hung it on the wall with the rest of my blocks. It really makes me smile and I think of Becky often.  Here's a close look, click if you really want to see the colors...


And this from Brandy...the picture does not do it justice.  It's a
miniature of the quilt she made.



I have been trying to get some good shots of my wall, but I haven't had too much luck.  I may just give it up and post what I can.  It really is amazing.  Just last week I had a visitor and she commented on how cool it really is.  I can't wait to share her quilt with you. 

Thanks for checking on me,
hugs,

School Bullying...What do you think?

did you see this?


I watched it yesterday on Good Morning America yesterday morning.  When I googled it to find the link I was mortified at all of the "bullying" links that popped up.   Honestly, I don't know why I was mortified by the number.....I am, and have been dealing with my own school and bullying issues.

Tell me what you think....
