Batik Geese Quilt
I finished the quilt for a graduate student in my department…she spins and dyes her own yarn and knits beautiful things, so we’re exchanging our crafts.
Here’s the quilt from beginning to end.
I pin my quilts…not a big fan of spray basting only because I get more on me than the quilt.
Scrappy binding using most of the fabrics from the quilt.
Yes…my cats found the quilt. She liked the quilt fur and all.
FOR TODAY … 12 May 2014
Outside My Window… Blue Blue Blue sky…breezy. Big piles of dirt the tonka toys keep moving around. They sure make a lot of money for just pushing piles of dirt from one end to the other. A Stellar Jay and Scrub Jay being chased by a dove…too funny.
I am thinking… nothing too deep. :p
I am thankful for… Long-time friends.
From the kitchen… Yesterday was a roasted chicken with a kale/broccoli salad and garlic bread. Tonight (after feeding him three meals) my husband’s friend is coming over and making his Puerto Rican chicken and rice & beans dish. He’s from PR and I love Caribbean food.
I am wearing… Tennis shoes, jeans, pretty blue print blouse.
I am creating… A lap quilt for a graduate student who is making me a scarf (she spins and dyes her own yarn). Here’s what I have up on the design wall so far:
Batik Flying Geese lap quilt I’m making.
I am going… to find some chocolate…there has to be some in this office somewhere.
I am reading… I started reading one of the free Nook books I downloaded…Child of the Ghosts by Jonathan Moeller. Not bad for a freebie.
I am hoping… My husband gets that part-time job that he was told about by one of his friends. Part-time is better than nothing, which is what he has now.
I am hearing… Someone brewing their coffee down the hall. Other than that, it’s pretty quiet here at work.
Around the house… Probably kitties napping in sunbeams…not home, so I’m taking a guess.
One of my favorite things… Flowers.
A Few Plans for the Rest of the Week…. Finish the batik geese quilt. Buy tickets for Godzilla! I get to see it twice! Regular one with my husband and friend (who don’t like 3D)…then how I really want to see it, 3D ATMOS with my sister and nephew.
Here is a few pictures thought I’d share with you…
Spent about 3 hours cleaning 25+ years of grime off the bricks of this fireplace at a friends “new” bar (bar is 60+ years old). So much more work to be done.
