Don't Blow My House Down!!

Fig Tree Pattern

I am quilting again; atleast during a day of rain.... Oh, Yes, I will be back to staining and out side work tomorrow. 

I don't mind rain when I can quilt. I am learning feathering so it takes practice; this quilt is for our Queen bed.  I love Fig Tree Quilts .   

  I Love her fabrics too.....,
the houses will be outlined and just the
roof will show tiles.
The wool and flannel leaves add depth too.

Roof Tiles

Feathers on Leaves

Recent Full BRIGHT Moon; Beautiful

The book is a few years old now.
I pieced the top this winter.  I surely hope I do her fabric and
pattern justice with my 'learning curve" quilting.
I have decided that I do need the smaller micro handles added
to my Gammill......SOON!!!....... it is on my wish list.  

Have a creative day.....or just a rest day....whatever you may need.  Blessings!!

Beach Life

Is life a beach for you?
  We have very good family
memories on beaches....sand, water, picnics....relaxing and just laughing together about "nothing"..... catching the "waves"

My neighbor in SC loves lighthouses and going to the beach. So, this is her quilt soon......the pattern is suppose to be
lighthouse light beams...and then the panel was just perfect for her

....The Quilt is done now. It needs
trimmed and bond before the final photo.

Again ,I enjoyed doing the organic straight stitch on it with different spaces between them.  Oh, the back? it is a patriotic print; she has a son who served many tours in Afghanistan as a helicopter pilot....Bless Him and his family.

Life can be fun at the beach.  Quilted Hugs today!! 

A Filling Day

Such a blessings today...listened to Elizabeth George and started longarming my SC neighbors" Nautical Quilt....YUM!!!

I am "making a few waves" at the top and bottom and using the straight organic quilting on it.  The fabrics are so gorgeous and the panel in the center is sweet; I will probably echo most of that......  So, I started!!
 See y'all tomorrw....I bet you are holding your breath!!!....Blessings!!!
