Perfectly legal air pollution today in Louisiana- sugar cane farmers regularly burn their fields. I’m pretty sure open burn was prohibited about 60 years ago in NY state. Up until I was 10, my dad was able to burn fall leaves.

I visited the Baton Rouge main library today to catch a small event of quilts made by Wasted Women for the Giving Quilt Guild, which donates quilts. Last year, they donated more than 600 quilts.

On the design wall today, made from Leftover scraps from the Parrot Head quilt. Sadly, I cannot scrape together one more hexagon from the pieces I have leftover. Thinking on this a while.

My guild members will be exchanging these 28 log cabin themed blocks with quilters from Meylan France (our sister city) when we host them at the end of March. We’ve arranged to house them at a quilt retreat house. #meylan #quiltguild

I was gifted this beautiful block by a quilter in France (our guilds exchange blocks annually). The theme was ‘my favorite place’. I added a binding and hung it in my studio.

I started a Right Angle Rainbow today, to use up some scraps. Its easier than it looks! It will be at least a baby size, but will make these scraps go as far as they can. #quiltsky

I once saved a picture of an upside down blood orange cake made by Martha Stewart, because I thought it would make a great wall hanging quilt in my kitchen. Don’t you think this would be awesome?
