The second block of my Civil War Bride Quilt is finished - loved, loved, loved doing it! Now to choose another block to start on!.jpg)
Christmas fabric? - yes, and isn't it just beautiful!

Still on Christmas and the reds - from dear Jane - see Jane's Fabrics on my Sidebar - just click if you would like to have a peep! I love these little girls on the red background!.jpg)
Am I crazy? - I have taken the monumental leap and I am going to try to become a little more technologically savvy! Off to the bookshop tomorrow to buy Photoshop for Dummies and to try to enrol in a short course!.jpg)
The Recency Dandy Giveaway has closed - through the week I found another two fabrics from the range to add. Now I have to work out how to select a winner - maybe I will have to try to find that number generator thingy!♥
I think we are all looking forward to a little spring weather here - yesterday was soooo cold! Very drab here today and pretty cold, too - maybe a little sunshine will appear later in the day!
♥
Hoping for a happy week ahead for you all!
Lurline, the Civil War Bride block is beautiful. I started mine last night and will go over to Lizzie and sign up. Good on you for getting PSE 7. They are many training courses online. I did one on Digital collage from Creative Workshop (link on my blog Rags to Riches). Have fun Lurline. Hugs Natima
ReplyDeleteOh Lurline! That block is beautiful!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteLovely fabrics... Good luck with your Photoshop program...
Lurline I just love your block. That temptation to make this quilt is getting stronger :-) Just love those other two Regency Dandy fabrics. Thankyou for giving me a greater appreciation of Repro brights.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and have Fun
Cheers
Lynne
Hey Lurline, your civil war blocks look beautiful. I can't wait to start. I'm also doing the green tea and sweet beans. Isn't it fun? Have you checked out the blog for that quilt. Some nice work going up. Cheers, Deb
ReplyDeleteI just love those blocks, I just may have to fork over some money for the pattern....like you said, it would be worth it.
ReplyDeleteyour are going like a house on fire, I am still thinking about colours for my CWBQ
ReplyDeletecheers

That block is so nice. It's taking me so long to stitch my Sue Ross applique so you are like a little machine.
ReplyDeleteyou can have some of our heat from Brisbane. 29 degrees at the moment and it is winter!!
Hi Lurline--love your blocks you have been doing and "we" can always learn something--that is until it comes to these computers and I swear--every time I get one thing figured out after a day or two the program changes somehow and I am back to square one!!!!! Let us know how this program works ok---I have a ton of pictures in my file to play with?????/ Hugs, just, Di
ReplyDeleteLove that block Lurline, fabulous colours. Glad that you went with Elements, it's quite easy to use, you'll get the hang of it, call me if you get stuck!! Our eldest granddaughter Samantha's birthday is on the first day of spring, so looking forward to her opening her parcel with her quilt on Tuesday, I think you might here her from your place!!!

I love the Civil War Brides Quilt block...what a wonderful quilt this will be! I'm working on applique now too...and it's just so fun each time I finish a block to choose another one!
ReplyDeleteHi Lurline...your CWBQ block is beautiful...are you doing it by machine or hand? Christmas is sneaking up on us...the fabrics look good!
ReplyDeleteHurray for a finished block. It turned out so good!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteI love that girl fabric too. Very cheerful.
ReplyDeleteI'm just back from our family vacation, and it's wonderful to have my computer working again so I can get caught up. Your quilts are amazing as usual!
ReplyDeleteTHat is a beautiful block. As I see the quilt on the side it is going to be amazing.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog via Material Obsession and I'm enjoying my first visit. That block is really beautiful, and I love the red and white fabric :-)
ReplyDeleteI bought Photoshop Elements a couple of months ago, and was completely lost until I came across the book "Photoshop Elements 7 - The Missing Manual" by Barbara Brundage. It is well written and things are explained in a way anyone can understand, so even I have learned a lot... I can really recommend it.
The block is gorgeous Lurline. Here in the northern hemisphere the end of summer is near. In three weeks fall starts officially. I don't like the heat we had this summer so I am glad it is cooling down and evenings are getting longer.
ReplyDeleteThe block turned out beautiful! Looking forward to what you start next.
ReplyDeleteHave fun learning photo shop!
I love the fabrics on your blog today - I wish I hadn't put a ban on new fabrics - hmmm I may have an emergency coming on. Soooo I might have to look for some Christmas fabric lol
ReplyDeleteBlessings

A lovely block. Once you get the hang of it - I heartily recommend a course (I took one at our local community college) - you are going to love using Photoshop. After a hot, often rainy, summer I'm looking forward to some crisp fall weather here in Canada.
ReplyDeleteWell, haven't you been a busy little bee! Love the Civil War Bride block. Your Christmas prints are very nice. I especially like the little girls. Good luck in learning how to use Photoshop Elements. I use graphic programs, but I'm not familiar with this one. Those two additions to your give-away are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics you used in your Civil War Bride quilt. Good luck with the photoshop. It shouldn't be too hard.
ReplyDeleteAre you still working out how to select a winner of you giveaway, Lurline? I have an easy way, just pick me!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt block is beautiful! I know you'll have a blast with photoshop. Can't wait to see what kinds of creative things you do with it.

Love your CWBQ block, Lurline. And you finished it so quickly.
ReplyDeleteThose little Christmas gals on the red fabric remind me of something from my youth -- maybe a storybook? some tin toy dishes? They're so cute.
Our temp's here in the upper Midwest are starting to drop at night. Fall will be here way too soon.
Love your block and your Christmas fabric.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great time with photoshop, I know I should do something like that but I am such a technophobe that it's amazing I have a blog LOL!
It seems so strange for you to talk about the end of winter there. We have finally let go of our 90 degree temps and are looking forward to a cool fall!!
ReplyDeleteLovely lovely fabrics. I really like that red. I have some of the little girl Christmas fabric too.
ReplyDeletegoodluck with the photoshop........
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous block!! I am excited to see this quilt when it's finished...I love the fabrics and the blocks so far. :-)
