These are Baltimore orioles. First we just had one,
several days later we started seeing 2 of them. I put out jar lids with
blackberry jelly in them. Yesterday a third one appeared. We had a
feeder out for them but they prefer the jelly. Not sure how long they
will stay.</div>

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I decided to join the “Stitch Me Up Embroidery” blog since I do
enjoy hand embroidery. I always have a project ready to grab to take with me
for doctor appointments or road trips. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I ordered a sample package of the Finca thread from Jane at <a href="http://janesfabrics.blogspot.com/">Janes Fabrics and Quilts</a> and I
must say it is a very nice thread. I chose a design for my project were I could
use a lot of different colors from my sample package.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It was a great relaxing trip.I have so many pictures I cannot decide which ones to print. The volcano national park was awesome, the rain forest was beautiful in its own way. The Wainea Canyon was beautiful, pictures do not do it justice. It was nice to visit Pearl Harbor. There was so much to see and take in during our visit to four of the islands. We hand a great time.<br />

<br />
It started out as a challenge in one of my quilting clubs. Several of us exchanged fabric strips so we would have a good variety of prints to use in this scrappy quilt. We were to donate the finished quilt to a charity. After all the work put into these quilts it was decided we could keep our quilts if we wanted and donate a different quilt.<br />
I have decided to keep my Barbed Wire after making all those half square triangles.<br />
<br />
This is my quilt. I have found another quilt that I have made that will be donated to a charity.<br />

However, I have taken up knitting and enjoying the easy projects at this time. May try something more advanced soon.<br />
One of my friends gave me this pattern on Sunday. Look what I finished. Don't look to close, I am sure there are a few mistakes in it.

Yes, our Dogwood trees are in full bloom, all six of them.<br />
<br />
Found this Tiger Paw pattern and had to try it. I think I should have used a smaller needle. I guess I will have to make another one just to see the difference.<br />

You received a bag with two crayons that you were to use in your project along with only one additional color.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My two crayons were golden yellow and turquoise. I think my project turned our rather cute but certainly not as detailed as most of the other entries.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Some little child will enjoy this at some point.<br />

Finishing projects is on my list of things to do this year. I have a good start.<br />
<br />
<br />
This was a mystery quilt I started 6 months ago through our local quilt shop, Specialty Quilts. The quilt consists of half square triangles and 4 patches. It was a fun and easy quilt to make. I chose Kansas Troubles charm packs for my quilt. It will be interesting to see the other quilts as we all chose different lines of fabric.<br />

At one of our girls day out Gerry surprised me with a starter kit and DL was kind of enough to sit with me and give me some tips. <br />
I am no way at the level of knitting as these girls but I am enjoying making dish cloths. Will share a few pics of the ones I have made.<br />

We have gotten some really nice tasty tomatoes. Last nights storm blew all the plants over, we restaked them so hopefully they will be OK. Sure would love to have some more of these yummy fruits. We have been having some great BLT's the past few weeks.<br />

We shopped at the following shops on the way. <br />
<br />
<br />
Jackman's Fabrics – in St. Louis<br />
<br />
Quilted Garden- Edwardsville, Ill<br />
<br />
These are all in the Columbus area:<br />
<br />
Red Rooster, Quilt Beginnings, North; QuiltTrends; Glass Thimble; Sew to Speak; Quilt Beginnings, East and Always in Stitches - . <br />
<br />
Quilts Plus, Indianapolis ( on the way back home).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I think the 33 shoppers on the bus helped out the local economy in Columbus, especially the quilt shops.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
All the shops greeted us and had treats for us. However the best part of my trip was that I met up with Cyndi from <a href="http://bluebirdswing.blogspot.com/">bluebirdswing.blogspot.com</a> at Quilt Trends and then she followed the bus to two more shops before she needed to head home. We had a nice visit and had a friendly chat. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Cyndi had a nice surprise for me. She made me one of her lovely handbags just for me using "Hello Betty" fabric. Now just how special was that. She included some lovely smell good items inside the bag. .<br />

We had a few of the experienced appliquers kind enought to help us get started with different techniques to try. I had two of my first samples just lying around and decided to make them into potholders. Our guild is having a potholder exchange in August. I cannot decide if I want to give these away or keep them since they are my frist two pieces I appliqued. If I decide to keep them I will need to get busy and make a few more potholders.<br />

We spent several days in London and then hopped on the train to go stay with our friends in Arnesby, England for 12 days. Our friends were the best host anyone could have asked for. They took us around to the Cotswolds, Cambridge and several small villages in the area. We truely saw the beautiful country side of England. The four of us went to Edinburgh by train for 3 days. We had a great time with memories and friendship to cherish a lifetime. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

We walked the very aisle that the royal couple will be walking on this Friday.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
