Hello.
"Overwhelmed" is the title of a new song I recently heard on KLove, christain radio. It's by a band called Big Daddy Weave. I just love to listen to this song. Good music just soothes the senses.
Well, an update on my pretty quilt. I have started sewing on the binding but this picture shows you the back of the quilt. The back fabric actually had a pretty print of vines and leaves on one side, thought it would look different on the quilt but it works just fine. I'm a firm believer in using what I have on hand if at all possible and this piece was just waiting to be used for something. All cotton of course.
Other things that I sometimes like to make are bracelets, earrings, and bead necklaces. It is fun to use those little shiny beads, so I started looking at my beads that I have saved for a while and I found a book on making bracelets with beads. I made one bracelet. Soon after the first one, came a second one which I sent to a friend of mine and she loved it. They are so pretty and fun to wear.

| I love the color of the big blue bead, it was perfect for my bracelet. |
 |
| This is the bracelet that my friend received. It is so pretty! |
 |
| Two more pink tone bracelets, one for my daughter and another to give away. |
My friend also received a receipe that I wrote down for her to try, it is my version of Alfredo stuffed jumbo shells with artichokes and ground turkey. She just texted me to say she loved the bracelet and it fit her perfectly.
I'm happy that it made her happy.
So, as you see, I have been busy lately with my bead work, and with my quilting. What new projects have you started? I think I will keep making more bracelets, they can be addicting once you start on one but quilting and sewing are still my favorites. Go start a project folks, you will have so much fun with it. I just read a neat article in Molly Makes magazine where the writer said, crafting really does relieve stress. I love that! Blessings, KS
