A Quilty Couple of Days


Spent the past 2 days quilting along with other errands to do. One appointment was to go get an estimate and visit my favorite body shop again. On Saturday I had a man use my rear bumper to stop his truck - at least the damage was minor and hopefully its just painting the bumper. Then the rest of the running around was nails, haircut and the beloved grocery shopping.

The first quilt is one of Bonnie Hunter's pattern called Jared Takes a Wife - I assembled the top better than a year ago, hung it on a hanger but never could decide on how to quilt it. I decided on the panto called Dusty Miller and used a color of thread called Mustard. After I finish the binding the quilt will make its way to Door County and be up for sale.


The second picture is of a block of the next quilt I finished quilting last night. This quilt will also make its way to Door County next week for sale. This quilt is just a little larger version that I made my Mom last winter. The block is called Sawtooth Star and the quilt went together rather quickly. I start the quilt a week ago, other than the binding its a week and a half quilt - quick and easy.

Today is my Mom's birthday - sadly she is no longer here but I will always carry her in my heart. Mom - today is especially for you - I love you.

Welcome September


The morning temps are wonderful - 65 degrees but the heat will not leave the daytime - in the 90's again! I am so ready for Fall.

The picture is of the center of the current quilt I am working on, I have the border to add before it will be ready for the frame. The pattern is one I found online and is called Whirly Wheels - a nice cheery colorful quilt.

Time to call it a night.
