Yesterday I trimmed Kalina, Now she is ready for binding and her label and sleeve. I forgot to put the binding in that photo. It will be a medium coral/pink color.
I worked on the new A Maze Zing quilt some.I like the zigzag fabric on it.
I have been spending time gathering class materials and handouts for trunk shows and classes I have coming up in February.
And last, but not least, I found some brussel sprouts in the garden.
Linking to Design Wall Monday
Move it Forward Monday
I hope things are growing well for you! Thanks for stopping by!
Last weekend was the Madison show, and I promised I would show photos of my booth, and the new potholder display piece.
It rained intermittently. Not nearly as bad as last time though. Nevertheless, I spent the week hanging the quilts out over my loom to air out any residual dampness. The booth pieces too.
What else this week? Sent program info to more quilt guilds.
Roasted the sunflower seeds.
A friend came and helped me pressure wash my deck. I had never pressure washed anything before. I wish I had taken before and after shots. I didn't realize the difference was going to be so amazing!
The weather was perfect this week! Sunny(finally), neither hot nor cold. Cool mornings. Wish we could keep this for awhile, but it will be gone in a jiffy!
Planted my fall garden this week, a bit of lettuce, spinach, kale, swiss chard, broccoli, beets. It's about a month later than I wanted to plant, late, even for down here in Georgia. Hope some of it makes it!
That is what I have been up to this week. Hope it has been a productive, pleasant week for you too.
Thanks for stopping by!
We have been having the most beautiful spring, here in Georgia! Flowers are blooming everywhere. Below, is a photograph of the azalea bush in front of my porch. There are a few pansies, and snapdragon that I planted too.
I love it when that azalea bush is in full bloom.
I got the sleeves attached to both of the quilts I wrote about last time, but the other side of the "flowers everywhere" coin is pollen everywhere. I think I will wait a couple of weeks to take photograph them outside, so I don't bring them back in loaded with pollen.
The last few weeks, I have only had small bits of time to work on my quilting. Most of my time has been spent on things like routine doctors appointments, sorting tax receipts, the first mowing of the year, and of course weaving that big rug. I thought I had a picture of the big rug on the loom, but I could only find a photos of the borders. We most often have to weave a large center, with 2 smaller pieces that get sewn onto either side to get the needed size. This rug will finish at 14 feet by 15 feet.
I have also been making a lot of 4 patches and half square triangles for one of my "project status" quilts. I have them in all stages of completion. Here is a box of finished units, ready to go up on the design wall.
All of the HST are done, but these 4 patches are waiting to be pressed:
And these are pressed and waiting to be crosscut:
I took these photos with my camera, which I am not so accustomed to using, but my camera battery was charging. You can tell I am not very accustomed to controlling the flash, and color with the phone camera indoors.
Back to the subject at hand; I just love working with these small, simple units, because they are so easy to work on anywhere. I can carry them with me to a friends house. Several steps like pairing my fabrics, marking my diagonal lines on the HST, and crosscutting can even be done without electricity, and I can take them outside on these lovely spring days.
I am almost done with all of the units for this quilt, and I can't wait to start putting them together! Then you, and I both will be able to see what this is really going to look like!
That is what I have been working on. I hope you are having a lovely spring as well. Thanks for stopping by!
