| Can you spot Mirabelle |
I used the collection Wild Blooms, which should be available in quilt stores now. It is a gorgeous collection with a complete range of values from light to dark, providing the entire spectrum of shades to create a gorgeous quilt.
I don't say this for every collection but I love every fabric in the Wild Blooms collection!!! I used Wild Blooms to make Mardi Gras Magic and Wednesday. I am sure I will be making more :-)

Mirabelle has traveled a long journey. I designed Mirabelle in August 2022 in two different block sizes (8" for Minnie and 10" for Mommy) and submitted for publication. Sadly, Mommy and Minnie were turned away.

They came back to me. I hugged them hard and gave them fresh new clothes. Submitted to Annie's in November 2022 for their Special Publication - Two Block Quilts. I was thrilled when I received the Acceptance Letter. It was stressful because they wanted the completed quilt in their office in about five weeks. I spent my Christmas break with Mirabelle, giving her my all and put her in the mail on the first working day of the year!
These pictures were taken the day before she left.

I have been waiting (?)patiently to share Mirabelle with you. You can buy the magazine at Annie's website, but I have the best pictures right here :-)

| Mirabelle Steps Up! |
January 2, 2023 was a bitterly cold morning when I dragged Paul out to take these pictures, promising him a big hearty breakfast for all his labors. I must say that Paul did not disappoint. The low January sun and the perfectly still waters did not hurt either.

| You take my breath away! |
Since we were shooting in an office/commercial/retail area right after Christmas, we were greeted with some holiday decorations that served as the perfect props for the photoshoot.

Following the publication, Mirabelle is reunited with me and we are very happy together. May be we will make a threesome with Paul but no pictures will be provided :-D

| Mirabelle is mine! |
But here is some veggie-inspired porn for you. This ACTUALLY happened!!!
Me: Come here. I want to ravish you.
Paul: You want to radish me?
Me (trying to keep up): Why yes. I will radish you.
Paul: I am glad you don't want to beet me.
A few days later, both of us working from home.
Paul (yelling from the living room): I LOVE you!
Me (finally caught up): I know, but will you radish me?
Paul: Don't have thyme for that right now.
I will be sharing with all my favorite linky parties. See full list on the sidebar.
