Got my homework done

I brought home some homework for our church sewing circle. We had gotten behind sewing the preemie items with all of the bad weather this winter. We meet today so I finished up a little pile. I have 3 more little quilts made of scraps in the works, so maybe I'll get one more done before I leave at noon. My sister-in-law gives me an amaryllis every year. This one started blooming a couple days ago. It has 5 buds on this stem, you can see a second bud stem to the left of the open flower which will probably open in a couple days, and it has a third bud stem starting to grow. This one is called Charisma. It is a beauty!
I had some comments yesterday from people with a Blogger account but I couldn't reply to them because they don't have their email enabled. So.....If you have a Blogger account, if you go into EDIT PROFILE, there is a box to put a check mark in, in front of Show My Email. If you do that, then when you leave a comment I can answer your questions. It only shows the word Email on your profile page, not the actual address. I like to reply to the people who comment even though I know some bloggers never do. So.....if you leave a comment and want a comment back, enable your email link.

My amaryllis is just shooting up, a gift from my daughter-in-law. This one of yours is amazing!

Very pretty. Question.....can amaryllis bulbs be kept from year to year and be planted to bloom again each year? I need to get myself one next year...as right about this time, I could use some flowers!!! I never remember to plant hyacinths and tulips and daffodils inside...and I should do THAT, too. Some forced "sunshine" is good in the winter months! Thanks for sharing yours!

What a gorgeous amaryllis -- I don't think I've ever seen one quite like that. And those preemie items are so sweet.

Adorable flower! -- About answering comments: Hmm. You bother to answer each comment!? I am very happy to get a personal response. But if this should ever become a burden, I'd feel kind of guilty.

Hi Wanda, I love to do the charity projects. Yours are adorable. They will be much appreciated, I am sure. The amaryllis is wonderful, beautiful color.

Hi Wanda. Jane Brockett has some beautiful Amaryllis flowers on her blog Yarnstorm. They are very majestic flowers and beautiful colours too. Love the little things.
Trying the ID key again.

The colours in that Amaryllis flower are beautiful.
The little premie items are adorable.

Hi Wanda, Those premie items are so cuddly looking.

Outstanding amaryllis color! I didn't get one this year but should make a point to do that as they are so impressive and easy.

I'm enjoying the "warm" weather (we have 45 degrees).

The amaryllis is very nice. I like the variegation in color. Thank you for so often replying to my comments (I don't expect a response on this, really).

Hi Wanda, I missed your blog for a few days - the black & white strata quilt is amazing. And I love your batik quilts as well. The amaryllis is beautiful. As always, your blog is eye candy!

Love the little baby quilts... did you make the little shirts, too?

I used to get an Amaryllis every year and loved waiting and watching it bloom. I am going to have to start that up again. Yours are beautiful.

Do you have a link to the premie outfits? Some of us would like to make these using our stashes.

Your amaryllis is gorgeous. I was so disappointed as I gave my Mum one for Christmas but it didn't bloom - only leaves came up.
