Quilted Jonquil

Here’s my slightly changed design wall.  I finished another First Sat block and put the 9-patches on point.  I like them better

Below is the 3rd First Sat block (FSB).  I haven’t finished the 2nd month because I missed the First Sat when I took the workshop with Judy Laquidara.  No deadline, no block…..bad Cherie

I haven’t sewn the alternate block yet either but I will get them knocked out pretty quickly as I got the binding for the Cards vs Sox wedding quilt made and machine sewn down, yea!!!

I even gotten one side hand sewn, yea, yea!!!

My parents arrived from California for a visit with my brother & me and they brought this:

It’s a carousel dragon made by my grandfather.  He was a pattern maker for engine aparts and made this carousel dragon in his retirement.  He also made an elephant and two rocking horses….well not horses but a cow and a pig   That’s my dad next to his truck.  He said they used a fork truck to get it into the truck.  He did a wonderful job protecting it for the trip!  I wasn’t home for the unloading but I heard it went smoothly and was much easier than the loading part was.

So here it is in our front room.  Our front room has never been a living space for us and doesn’t have much furniture so it’s a perfect place for a carousel dragon, don’t you think?

Dragon tail

Dragon Back

Dragon head

And Dragon TEETH!!!
