TEA!!!!!
If you are a tea afficionado, you must click on over to Paper Street Teas. They have a remarkable selection of exotic loose leaf tea. I ordered a bunch of trial sizes. I'll let you know how I like them.

Well, you see my dilemma. This is just through "H". Maybe I'll post more later.
Do you have any idea how many Knitting blogs there are out there?!?! You would be amazed. And these people are dedicated - no idle fillers, just knitting and knitting supplies. However, I'm not interested enough to post any of them here. Just go look on Blogshares if you want to know about them.

Irish Lace Plaid
Quilt number 3 is below. The pattern is from "Irish Lace Quilts," a pamphlet by Doreen C. Burbank, published by House of White Birches. I don't know if it's still available - I got it at my used book store. It's my first true strip-pieced quilt. It didn't take long to sew.
Actually, this is only the quilt top - batting and backing will have to wait. And really, it's quilt #4. I'm still working on piecing #3 which is a queen sized quilt consisting of 2 inch squares, no strip piecing. Yeah, it's time consuming, but it's going to be stunning, if I do say so myself.
