Quilting completed.....


on my Poppies Block of the Month quilt.... loved quilting this one... and it was so not my colors - orange.... but I added the brown batik and I think that I actually really like it now.... This was made with the Kaleidoscope ruler by Marti Michel

Enjoying the Sun..........

My Boston Terriers, Tooie, and Magpie are enjoying the summer sun......


This photo is of the landscape that I made in the class taught by Shirley Patterson at our summer retreat.  This was a fun, fun project and I didn't have any trouble finishing it....

Quilts finished.....

I finished quilting two of my own quilts the last little while.  This quilt was my first hand applique quilt - started around 2000.  I used several different ways to applique.... and found that I prefer to use freezer paper on top with needle turn.  This top has been waiting a long time to be quilted - it's probably my longest quilting UFO...The pattern is called Country Bride.









I also finished quilting North of the Forty Nine from the Book All Through the Woods.... very Canadian.... and a real fun project to quilt.
So, I finished 2 quilting projects and added 3 to be quilting from my retreat..... the list goes on.








Thought for the Day
Enjoy the quiet times.
