Rosebud Quilt Block Pattern

Log Cabin Quilt Block

The name of this block is “The Rosebud”

I had fun with color on my block, but looking now, I would have made the corner green darker, but hindsight… If you like the center flower do a bit of fabric placement to make the center of the quilt block pop.

Photo Wall

Cut, Paint and Hang

This has been on the back burner for a bit. Like you I have seen them on Pinterest.
When I cleaned out a cedar chest to move it out, it was the keeper of the photo’s. So, off to Pinterest to find a photo wall. Here is my before and after photo.

I used for the back 1″ x 4″, the bottom 1″ x 3″ and the front edge 1″ x 2″. I did have them cut at Lowes, I sanded, glued/nailed and painted with the same wall color paint. Made three of them.

The hardest part was the hanging of the shelves, both Husband and I on ladders, getting it level and into the wall stud…needed more hands, but we finally got it.

Our finished photo wall.

Time Moves On

Saying good-bye to my Mom.

The past few weeks have been crazy and I’m trying my best to get my feet back under me. My Mom passed last Monday afternoon, she had fallen. She was 93 and in a care center for just over five years.

I’m hoping for a bit of calm to settle over me. At times it still seems crazy, but adjusted or accepting will come. Almost everything is cleaned out, shipped and notes written. Have to do the work first…exhausting.

It’s now about me and what is next? That shouldn’t be hard…but she’s been my constant concern for SO long. But, I’m working my plan and taking care of myself.

I am going with my slow and steady ways, please, purchase my quilt patterns and books and I’ll get back as soon as possible.
Love always, Beth Ann

Every Quilt Has a Story

B. Annie Quilt Pattern Book

B. Annie Quilt Pattern is all about ME! I don’t say that a lot.
B. Annie at the Etsy Shop
B. Annie in Print and eBook

This Quilt started with a simple Bear Paw quilt block and then drawing and drawing sixteen quilt blocks that took that simple block and made all sixteen mine. The quilt as always going to have white background, I love quilt lines on white fabric, pink of course that’s me, adding color with greens, red, in both solids and prints. The outside border is pieced with green square and triangle leaves.

Have you ever made a quilt and as each quilt block is finished you giggle at what you just did? This is how I felt as this quilt was going together, into a finished eighty-eight by eighty-four-inch quilt. Kind of Perfect.

That’s my B. Annie quilt all about ME! Should say that more, one of my faults? Maybe it’s just taking care of so many.

But this quilt is ME and MINE! B. Annie Quilt
