Raggiemom, you are amazing to have such a long list and stay with it. The Irish Mist quilt is wonderful. Debra, I love the scrappy stars. You all are doing amazing work.

For me, I have a baby quilt that's not needed until September 15, so I'm ahead of the game. It's just a feature fabric with log cabin type strips all on one side. I imagine there's another name for that. I'll put some more stripss on it and then put the blocks on the design wall. I also need to find a pattern for a casserole carrier for a craft workshop tomorrow. I want to make a sample today.

Thanks for the link Deb - I've pinned it.

love the tortoise!!

Got chased inside to work by rain. Neighbor came over and we were sitting on the garden bench and he said "I wonder if it will rain". A few seconds later I felt the first drop. We didn't think it would last, or be heavy and we stayed out in the rain quite a while chatting. Finally we came inside and within seconds it started pouring!!

Hmmm ... guess I can turn the sprinkler off :)

Back to the bunnies!

Is it my eyes or my brain? I cannot see the difference.:o

One block done. Problem is, I reinstalled my printer drivers, and forgot that the default setting on the printer is "shrink to fit". So my templates are 1/4" too small :( It looks like I have enough "extra" fabric on the outside edges to stretch this to a full 12" block - it just won't have sharp points on the turquoise border. Hopefully it will still look OK, because I don't have enough fabric to redo this one.

Now I need a break from paper piecing, so I think I'll jump to the end of my list for today, and piece the backing for a quilt to go onto the longarm.

Irishrose, here is a pattern for a casserole carrier that I'm planning to make my mother for Christmas.

I'm practicing today -- making one block of a NY Beauty. But I may try to change it up a bit.

Almost forgot all about this......just got back from a long bike ride. Someone has to hold the back of that motorcycle down and point out the ice cream stands..........Before the day is through, I need to bind a lap quilt for my best friend's birthday. Will post when it's done.

Raggiemom, thank you. It's perfect. I had found a similar one, but it used D rings. As these are to be sold for a profit for mission work, the cloth rings will keep costs down. I want to make a few flat fold up ones for 9X13s, to, but I can find a pattern for that easily.

I finished the Scattered Roses quilt top from the Accent of Angles book (I don't know why they call it that, it only works if you use rose fabric!). After supper, I may sandwich the quilt. I think I need to sew together a few pieces of batting though. The second picture is of my helper, Selkie. Quilting with Mommy is exhausting!

This is my progress on thread painting the landscape. Squared it up and then realized that the tree still needs some more "sunlit" sections on it, but already put the zigzag machine away, so they will be straighht stitch. This will be the first time I tried to free motion on my Janome, so we will see how it goes. The grass really isn't quite that wonky, but the thread caught the light and it really stands out, so you can see all the "issues".


Raggiemom, the Irish Mist is just beautiful, and krista, those blocks will look good no matter how you put them together.
