Jacobean Journey Quilt - Block C4

We're finally seeing hints of spring with temps in the 60's and 70's.  Trust me we're really happy considering how cold and long this past winter has been.  Seriously makes me think of moving to California but everywhere has its own problems so I'll stick with the ones I know. This is the second month of Jacobean Journey Quilt and this month we were assigned to do two blocks - C4 and D5.  I'll discuss block D5 in another posting just to space things out a bit. I have to admit I'm glad we didn't start out with these two blocks first, although that's what Hoopsisters starts you out with. At our last class, there were approximately 20-30 women there who were doing one of two Hoopsisters patterns, either Jacobean Journey or Feathered Star.  Those who brought their blocks in did a little show-n-tell and all of them looked really good and everyone seemed really pleased with everyone else's.

A Look Back to 2013

I am by no means a photographer. I'm not someone who's going to go hiking in Yellowstone National Park in -30 degree weather to get a shot of a buffalo covered in ice. I'm just not going to go quite that far but I do look for interesting things to take pictures of.  I've got a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200 that I really like and I'm still trying to figure out what everything does but I mostly leave it on automatic mode. That's what its for right?  For me to not mess with the settings?  Well, at least whoever programmed the thing will appreciate me using the auto mode. So, since I started my blog, I thought about things I wanted to post about and thought I would take a look at what I did last year and see if I could "beat it".  Whatever "it" is for 2014 and thought I would post a few of my favorites for you to enjoy and hopefully I'll find some more unique subjects this year. I literally have hundreds if not thousands of pictures in iPhoto
