Tomorrow, it is back to my day job. The weekend was filled with the usual weekend activities&#8211;laundry, grocery shopping, vacuuming, and dusting. Good Friday we enjoyed a special family meal in celebration of Easter. The extra long weekend also afforded time for quilting.<\/p>\n<p>I finished off a super secret project that I can not share pictures of right now and I worked on a project for me.<\/p>\n<p>While in Arizona in February 2009, I purchased two panels of cacti prints from the Santa Fe fabric line by RJR. I set the blocks together using the BQ pattern from Maple Island Quilts after seeing a quilt made by Kathleen Moorhead Johnson <a href=\"http:\/\/www.augustwindquiltdesigns.com\/page13.html\">http:\/\/www.augustwindquiltdesigns.com\/page13.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-RlAxOS41glA\/TbZGIOuB9mI\/AAAAAAAAGgE\/hYY9uomTj3c\/s400\/DSC_0190.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Check Spelling\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/img\/blank.gif\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-YIfjXi5jvAY\/TbZGHxnguQI\/AAAAAAAAGf8\/e8cSeVcSgGo\/s1600\/DSC_0189.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-YIfjXi5jvAY\/TbZGHxnguQI\/AAAAAAAAGf8\/e8cSeVcSgGo\/s400\/DSC_0189.JPG\"><\/a> The dark Southwest print to the left of my quilt top is a fabric from the same line as the cacti blocks. Although I purchased this fabric with the intention of using it as a border, I am not sure I like it with this quilt top. I will have to think further on this. Also, I still have some more cacti blocks so I am thinking of adding another row of blocks before calling this one finished.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was the last day of my 5 day Easter weekend holiday.
