Birthday Blocks, taxes and travels
I know it has been awhile for me. But I have still been out here quilting along. This month is always a crazy one for me as I do taxes for quite a few family members so that has kept me busy. I am glad to say I have them all done.
My kids have been traveling around also. My middle one is now in Florida playing baseball so I have been trying to keep up with his adventures. My oldest one has spent the winter traveling all around out West and in the Southwest. He is going to fly to Florida to meet up with us over spring break, I can't wait to see him as it will have been almost a year. One of the places he visited was Roswell, New Mexico. That has been on his list for quite some time. I was so excited that he finally got to visit has we have spent years watching those sci-fi movies of an alien nature together. He also spent large spans of time in numerous national and state parks hiking and kayaking so I hope that he remembered to take lots of pictures.
I have still been receiving birthday blocks from friends. I apologize that my batteries are going on the fritz so my camera is not taking good pictures (see how I blame the camera). But you can get the gish of all these wonderful blocks I have been getting.

Snow Days
I am now on my third snow day from work this week. Yes I am loving it and at the same time getting nothing accomplished. I have spent the majority of my time on the couch catching up on taped tv shows. Very slugworthy of me I know. I did have good weekend at Miss Mary's quilting cottage with my friends last week. I worked on my squares quilt and the above is one of the block patterns that I was able to get done. All the parts are sewn together and now they just need to be sewn into blocks. It was a good weekend with good friends!
Half of the gang!
The other half!

Now I am off to do some handquilting and catch up on The Virginian!
