Motif emphasized…

These awesome flowers are just popping with life with the thread outlining. I am having such a great time working on this quilt! Still undecided about what to do with sashing and borders, but I am following a couple of expert quilters who have some great ideas. One in particular, and that would be the amazing Leah Day. So, you will just have to wait and see what design comes about on this quilt. Keep checking back…
Mark just finished knapping this cool little arrowhead!

Plenty of Practice on FMQ Fundamental Skills…

                                 

“Lovely Lou” has presented me the opportunity to practice many of the basic fundamental skills of Free Motion quilting. Stitching in the ditch is harder than I thought it might be, but with this quilt I am working on that particular skill. 

I just spent a few minutes on the phone with a friend from years ago. We taught school together way back in the 80’s. What fun it is to have enduring friendship with someone even though we haven’t seen one another in years. Laughter is good for my soul, and with this friend I can laugh. A treat, for sure.

Another really cool rock that Mark came upon!

Adventure every day…

Look at this cool rock!  We decided it might have been the first original wheel, but it really looks like a donut or a bagel.

Mark is the most interesting individual I have ever known. He has been making me laugh for 44 years!!!
