Free Pattern Friday

I was browsing different websites looking for layer cake patterns. I have some I have had a while that need to be used. I tend to like the Robert Kauffman patterns. They are easy, but they are also eye-catching. This one caught my interest:


It would be perfect for squares you don’t want to chop up too much. I was thinking about my Kaffe Fasset squares. The only thing I’m not liking is that the quilt finishes 40” x 50”. To me, that’s a little small. Anyway, the pattern is here. I like the graphic appeal of the pattern, but it needs to be bigger. 

I went to the funeral home yesterday to pay my respects, and I got choked up when I saw two of the quilts I quilted and bound hanging behind the casket. It was very emotional for me. 

Good news—my desert rose is finally blooming. 


The heat is miserable right now with no letting up for a while. I try to stick with plants that can withstand our South Texas weather, and the desert rose and the lantana thrive in it. The yellow lantana is flowering right now; the orange native lantana isn’t. I’m not sure why. I’m just glad something can tolerate this heat!
