April Flowing Like a Stream

Just enjoy some pictures of quilts on a lovely spring evening   

I don't have much to say. 

Sometimes, there are not words...

Back in February, I started the quilting on Tire Tracks.  

Finally, I made myself finish.

This is a very large quilt - 110 x 93.  

This is quilt #29!  

Poor thing has been waiting for my skills to build since 2013.

Tire Tracks and Spring Fling Green are on a brown truck as of this morning heading to the appropriate recipients (I hope they didn't switch the labels!)

The little scrappy improv quilt started as a method of avoiding clean up from a white and neutral bin sorting. It finished itself in two weeks. 









This week has been very hard for me and my school family.  

Prayers, peace and healing to all facing unexpected and heart wrenching loss. 


I've been down this road ahead of you.  One spring not so very long ago.  
I'm still sewing for my healing, starting my 7th year alone in order to piece together the fragments of my life, my mind, and my soul stitch by stitch into something new and unique.

Raiders are crying. 

Finished It Up Friday

TaaDaa!  A Friday Finish

I'm home on a Friday, wooohoo!  

So I cut binding and bound the Spring Fling Green, getting done just as the sun came over the house into the back yard.

I ran out with quilt & camera to capture the sunny day and motivate myself for massive yard work this weekend before the rain arrives.  

The pieces were cut in January while my sewing machine gathered dust at the repair shop.  With no way to sew, I did a massive stash clean up, sorting scraps yet again.  


There were so many small solid pieces in odd shapes, I decided to make a dent the green scraps using the Mint Julep Quilt featured  McCalls Quilting  Sept/Oct 2013 by Lisa Bee-Wilson TowerHouse Quilts 

Look at the sun shining through the quilt to the back.  A thin summer quilt perfect for the boat and beach!

Didn't even dream of quilting to the beautiful finish she accomplished.  Well, ok, I did dream about it, I just didn't try to do it!    

Finished is better than Unfinished!

Now I'm off to the home supply store for weed-eater string!! A different kind of string for me to work with this weekend.
