Off the Floor

I put this quilt together.
Yes, it needs a border.
Yes, after 3 quilts with these fabrics, 
I didn't have enough for a border.
Yes, I found some on-line.


And yes, I like it.

New Project

I had been looking for a pattern to use some Amy Butler fabrics on.

I found one on Pinterest and decided to give it a try.
Of course, I just used the picture, so I had to start by drawing it out.
From there, I have been slowly deciding what to do next.

I found my self alone on Thursday, so I layed it out on the floor...
still wishing for a design wall.


I left it on the floor for a couple of days, 
and then yesterday, I went to work on it.
It took twice as long with the sashings,
but I knocked it out.

Now for the boarders.  
It is really much cuter than this picture of it on my basement floor.
It is bright and cheerful....like my daughter, who it will belong to.

Finish one and Start a new one

I finished this!
I was sick of it,
so I feel really happy.


I feel that part of the problem was the amount of quilting.
It looks like more than I planed.


I thought I would quickly put this one together.
WRONG!
I should of got out the frames or taped it to the floor.
I  made a mess, 


but I got it up. 


Can't wait to have it finished.

Summer Colors


I love the colors of these flowers.
They would be beautiful in a quilt.


Blackberries.
What can I say?
They turn my fingers purple.


And last of all, weeds.
I love these weeds.
I love seeing them on the side of the road.
Love seeing them out my window.
I'm sure if I tried to grow them, 
they wouldn't make it.


Good to be Home

I finished this cross stitch.  I'm looking forward to visiting the Redwoods this Summer with my kids.  I was home this weeke...
