I am piecing! No. Really. I am!

Those of you who have spent any length of time with this blog know that I am not the world’s most prolific piecer…It seems I have to have a reason to piece and here is my reason -

Remember this stack of hand-dyes by Firefly Fabrics in Acme Michigan?

 

I just had to have it…it was pretty close to a year ago that I bought it. Never could figure out what I wanted to do with it and I realized I was trying to make it too complicated…I decided to keep it very, very simple and let the fabric speak for it’s self…anyway, I started…finally…

While I piece it I am daydreaming about the quilting…modern? Over all texture? Hmmm…

Shelia’s Xs and Os quilt is on the machine…pics tomorrow!

 

On the machine today…

Kay’s t-shirt quilt…Bright!!

Quilt of the week 5/5/13

Lyn’s bargello with Tea Leaves e2e from Marjorie Busby…I wish the quilting showed up more…hard to get a pic because the batting is really flat…

In other news…we spent yesterday afternoon walking around Saugatuck and came home with a new painting…James Brandees is the artist…we ended up getting a giclees  instead of an original…THAT was a big discussion! But we both liked it so much that we caved…and the original is long gone to another home. It is already hanging and we are enjoying it.

 

Off and on the machine today…

Final border on the pastel cabins finished…

In other news…we got Straight, No Chaser tickets for November!! Very excited…AND Maris brought me flowers yesterday for no particular reason…gotta love that guy!

On the machine today…

Barb’s tessellating cat quilt…It’s a big one! and I can’t imagine how long it must have taken to collect the fabrics! Nice wool batt and a medium meander will make for a comfy, warm quilt!
