Wordless Wednesday

Design Wall Monday

I've been working on a Judy Neimeyer bed runner; have two more pieces to put on 32 more of the small quarters, then on to ALL the rest--lots of hours of work left, but it's not a race (I keep telling myself that!)

Quilt # 17

can now be shown--I gave it to my niece when in Minnesota.  It's her college grad gift.

I'm off

to see my sister, the wonderful sister of mine (sung to the tune off Off to see the Wizard!!)  My flight leaves from Anchorage tonite, so I'll be back in a couple of weeks unless I figure out how to do this on her computer--it could happen....:)

Monday Mystery

Bullwinkle

visited this evening, but he left Rocky at home. He came out of the woods on the south side of the house, and by the time I got the camera in DH's hands, he was in the pond behind our lot!

Busy, Busy

While I was doing this all day yesterday in a wonderful class taught by Barb Steckel:

My DH was catching dinner!

This lovely red salmon was steaked, teryaki'd and grilled to perfection!  (7 steaks were vaccuum packed and placed gently in the freezer--their bones are wicked sharp--don't want to puncture the bags!)

Design Wall Monday

This is what's on my wall---the Bali Pop strips for the large Bali Hobo Bag. (I am moving one of the strips to a new location--a photo is the best way I have found to check out color placement)

The class for this will be on Wednesday--I will be making a small bag using rainbow colors amd only 12 strips--the one above will be started--hopefully!!  There is some homework involved--the tubes must be made and I have been under the weather with a bad cold. (I never get sick!!!).  So we'll see if I get to the huge bag!

On that note, I'm off to the quilt cave.

Quilt # 16

I neglected to get a photo of this one before I took it to the shop, so you get to see it displayed!

Design Wall Monday

Urban Cabin in Red is ready for borders--they are striped, therefore must be mitered.  I love the look of striped borders!  This will be another shop sample, so must get going.....

New flower bed

is complete.

And the flowers on the deck are trying to survive drowning!!  We keep putting them under the eave, then out in the sun for a tad, then back under they go!

Quilt show entry

Quilt # 13 was one of my entries in the quilt show.  It didn't win anything, but I wanted to post a better picture of it!  The jacket I whined about and fought took third!!

Bella Nonna Apron

is done.  When Pat showed me this pattern she saw at Quilt market, I wanted to make it.  The pattern writer, Jayme, sent her first draft and asked me to make it, proofing the pattern as I did.  Is this not the cutest apron?!?  And the mistakes were minor, so no problem constructing it.  I love it!!!

Before

We did a lot of yard work--DH did the heavy stuff and I helped with the wimpy stuff.  Put in beds, 6 trollius, 2 peonies, lots of bark and a rock corner.  When it quits raining I will take "after" pictures.  It does look good.

Quilts #14 and 15

are finished!
