Today is Applique with Connie Tackett. I will be making plans to buy THIS pattern from Pacific Rim Quilt Company. We will finish up our current cutwork applique and work some on these two-color jobbies.
Or, I might decide that THIS is the one for me. I like both and cannot decide. Are you interested? Click the Pacific Rim Quilt Company link and see what YOU like!
I am just about ready to go for an album style quilt. Quilty Friend is committed to her Civil War Bride quilt, which I have blogged about before. She is thinking about the bride block right now. The bride on the quilt shows her pantaloons and stockings--SHOCKING! I am sure she is modestly clothed by today's standards.
This will be a full and beautiful hydrangea blossom by the time you are reading this. Quilty Friend is quite the gardener and this beauty is just down from her front porch. When I asked her what we should put to the left of our porch steps, this is what she suggested. I think we will be lucky if it looks as nice as hers. We should have put one in last week when it was still cool enough to work outdoors.
Two weeks ago, Quilty Friend's tree had beautiful purple blooms all over it. I tried to photograph it from the back of their property but it was too late by the time I got to it. Then, last week, I asked her if I could go into her back yard to try to get some pictures of this mysterious tree. I thought she said her husband called it a CAT-uh-paw tree. Then she emailed me the name of it--CATALPA. Never heard of it but when it was in full flower, it sure was pretty.
Oops, that link takes you to Catalpa speciosa and I think what we have here is Catalpa bignonioides,
common to the south.
Tomorrow I will show you what else she has in her yard.
What is it? Found in Quilty Friend's back yard. Tomorrow, see pictures of her Catalpa tree.
My
Quilty Friend knows I have a fondness for chickens and this is what she
gave me for my birthday (among other things). He is quite a rooster and
he has a secret.
He
actually came with a little sponge in his compartment for that was his
initial purpose on this planet but I am going to make him into a
pincushion so he can be in my studio as a working chicken.
One time last month, Quilty Friend and I had a Girls' Day Out and we went fabric shopping at a place that was having a sale.
I think Quilty Friend is having an influence on me because this is not my usual style, but I just loved it! Must have been the dots or maybe the leaves. If you saw the actual fabric, you would not even notice the dots because they are so tiny.
Or, I might decide that THIS is the one for me. I like both and cannot decide. Are you interested? Click the Pacific Rim Quilt Company link and see what YOU like!
