Mom's Little Quilt

 Mom received this little quilt kit for Christmas 
and we cut it out last month and now it is finished and hanging on her wall!
 I spent the day in town and the weather was in the 70's so it was delicious out!
In the background is the bridge we drive over every time we head to town, 
it spans the St Johns River.
 I loved the composition of this picture and will try to catch it in a painting some day!
Here is the coast along the river walk; 
 you can see the water is brackish because while it is an inland river,
 it empties into the ocean so the ocean tides affect the river and shares its saltiness!
  So much of the river walk is still under repairs from Hurricane Irma of Sept '17. 
 I had to dodge yellow tape, closed gates and partially dozed sidewalks to get here,
 but I'm so glad I did-it was a great walk.

  2. What a sweet quilt. I am missing my Daytona with this post. But I won't get back until March 9th, and only then as a layover before going on a cruise. Warm weather, here I come!

  6. Cute little quilt! I'm going to have to do this whole quilt thing one day.

    Your walk looks beautiful. The weather has been unseasonably warm for us, but I do not feel like I'm enjoying it properly. A good walk, might just be what the dr. ordered :)

SOME MORE BABY HATS

I added to the baby hat pile and even changed up the pattern with the finer yarn.  The one on the far left is really a pink;  I worked on it...
