One of my favorite things EVER

Does anyone know the pattern for this quilt? For almost 10 years, nearly every time I visit my daughter Deana, she puts this quilt on my bed. It was given to her by her mother-in-law around the time she got married. It is the perfect weight and yellow is my favorite color so it just makes me feel happy. The last time I was there, I took pictures of this one and the one I call "my quilt" which also came from D's mother-in-law. Maybe sometime I will show it off too. The little white square is the center of a block. I tried to get a close up so that it would be easier to tell what the block looks like.

*** Update***

I am sitting here this evening looking at several varieties of this quilt online thanks to my daughter Deana. She saw my post and sent me the links to them. It is called Pineapple Log Cabin.
I never even looked it up or asked her about it. I just took the photos and blogged about it. You have to love communication in the 21st Century. :) Thanks, D.

I need to start today - to find Someday

I have spent the past several months reading other peoples blogs about family and quilting and cooking and knitting and crafting and just about everything else.

I decided today would be a good day to start a new blog about me and the things I like.

I played with another blog for awhile and didn't really have a clue what I was doing. In fact, I'm not sure I know what I am doing now either. But I do have an idea what I would like for this blog to be about.

I work. Too much. I have 2 jobs. Not because I want to but because right now it is a necessity. I won't work so much. Someday.

I have always been a crafty type of person. I love to sew, embroider, crochet, knit, quilt, scrapbook, cook, read in my spare time. I will have some spare time. Someday.

Last winter, I took a knitting class from a wonderful lady named Lucille who has now become a great friend. I can knit, I can purl. I don't have any idea how to increase or decrease and if I make a mistake, I pull it all out and start over. Lucille thinks I am nuts. I will get the hang of it. Someday.

This fall, I took a quilt sampler class from a wonderful lady named Jeanette. I have always loved quilts and decided it is time I learned to put some together myself. This was a six week class and of course, my quilt blocks are still in progress but I love what I learned from Jeanette. This will be a beautiful quilt. Someday.

I have a lot of questions about these and other interest and I hope to hear from others who share my interests. Someday.
