SUNDAY (AE) SPECIALS

HERE--what's hanging on my living room wall right now:

I made this using Anita Gross Solomon's Book: (which is really fabulous)

And:  Don't you have to love that Geisha fabric?  

Well, it's been up for a while now and my colorways have changed (new sofa, chairs etc):  SOoooooo:

HERE is the new panel pin-basted and ready to hand quilt:

I just love the dancing cranes from Kona Bay and the irridescent moons over the waves:

No fuss, no muss, just find a backing (I will show you that later after quilting is done--A lovely Jason Yenter Christmas print so I can reverse it for the Holidays:  A TWO-FER!)

And here are the indispensable items used so far:

The Sulky re-positionable spray, my favorite "Kwik Klip", pins and an old sweater blocking board I had bought when I was doing so much knitting.   It is just perfect to put on my dining room table (the back is felt--yes!!) and the measurement lines really help to get everything straight.  

So, this has been my Sunday Special--now for a sundae (ahem--the ice cream one--certainment) special --YUUUM!!

TWIST AND SHOUT for PRESIDENT'S DAY

I added the roses tone-on-tone border to my Twister Quilt-a-long: 

I like the way it blends with  and makes the the overall peach-to-tangerine colors pop out:

I really, REALLY  LOVE that fabric; it's so subtle and soft toned. 

Today we walked our neighborhood:= Hills, hills and more hills (OOOff-dah!!)

BUT:    I cannot find any fabric to border my Seaflowers hexagon piece--nothing seems to strike me.  Maybe I should just hang it on the design wall and something will come to me. (Hopefully)

I keep on seeing OTHER quilts I want to make--my list is already waaaay toooo loooong.....

1. Dresden Plate

2. Mosaic of some sort

3.  Crosses Plus

4.  Halloween wall quilt for my daughter

5.  Pillow for Mom (with funny Dr. Seuss fabric 

6.  Christmas smallish reversible quilt for Fiona (with Moon and Stars on the Back)

7. Cheddar Bow Tie Medallion

8. Bonnie Hunter's Blue Ridge Medallion (I have been using these as "leaders and enders" and have a lot done already  --waiting in the wings --so to speak.....)

This, doesn't even mention the hexagon project I am doing now....

Well, you can be sure I am never bored!!  I am sad that Downton Abbey is finished for this season....am now reading (in honor of Regency England and all) "Austenland" by Shannon Hale and so far, it's pretty funny.  (I just cannot read "Pride and Prejudice" one more time again....every summer, I take it to the beach--)

Hugs all 'round--(more on the "Spiders" later.....)
