HELP!!! What's wrong with my plant???

This is a hydrangea that Dennis bought for me when I retired. I've kept it alive for over a year--a record for me! But look at it now...the leaves have white on them. What does this mean? What do I do??


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

A Double-Duty Bed Runner

This bed runner was made by a a new customer, Donna. She's taking a class and this was one of their projects. The double-duty part comes from the fabrics use.

The top is Christmassy (yes, that is a word!)


And the back fits in with her Americana decorating scheme the rest of the year. (If you want to see the quilting on the back, click on the picture. When you're done, just click the back button to come back here)


And this is a photo of the whole thing. When its finished, there will be prairie points on each end.

Sneak Peak

This is a sneak peak of my beautiful step-daughter's wedding quilt. She hasn't seen it, but she does know its coming. In fact, if I could only read and follow directions, it would be done. However, twice now, I've put the four-patch units that go in the outer border together backwards! Okay, well not backwards, exactly. The first time I used the wrong fabric, the second time it was backwards.

I'm excited to finish this one!!

I got a present!!

Remember the Machinations quilt I did for Marei? Remember the backing fabric she used and how I was trying to figure out if she'd notice if I switched it? I love red and I loved that red fabric so much!!!

Our Guild meeting was just the other night and guess what Marei brought me???? My very own bit of that fabric!! She went back to the store and bought what was left on the bolt for me...I have almost 2 yards now to call my own.

Its all pre-washed now and proudly added to my stash. I'm thinking of making a log cabin in blues and reds...this will be in there! Isn't it pretty??


Thanks, Marei!!!!
