WOOOO HOOOO, HAPPY DANCE

DONE, done and definitely done!

Whew.  

And it only took me a little over a year.  Yes, this was a baggie project.   Final measurement 108" x 120", or thereabouts.

A large variety of prints are needed to make this quilt work.  I also used up a lot of left over muslin pieces.

Dolly breathes a sigh of relief that it's finally completed and asks once again for a truck ride.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Jungle Bunny

Since Thimbell was doing such a fine job cutting my grass today, I decided to move on to a more important project. . . .

the second bunny condo.

I took a lot of detailed shots for those who have Flemish bunnies and wish to build one like it.  The roof line angles still confuse me, but for those with roofing experience, it should be easy to figure it out.

I'm thoroughly enjoying my new camera.  Thimbell is not to sure about the whole idea though.  She was pure silver when I first got her and now the pattern of her coat could be copied by the camo fabric folks.  

Until then, keep stitchin'  . . . 

Decisions, decisions . . .

  
Does anyone recognize this type of mushroom?  I'm wondering if it can be used to dye fabric.  Hmmm.


A friend's daughter recently graduated from nursing school.  It has been an especially long journey for this young lady, and to celebrate, I'm going to bequeath her with this quilt.

Problem is, I can't decide on borders.  Perhaps a piano key border in mixed blues and white.

It needs to be just a tad larger, so maybe 6 inches on each side would work.

Any suggestions?

A bit more pink is showing today.  I'm beginning to like this color.

This is Dolly's "mom are you done work yet, so we can go for a ride face."  Evidently 13 bunnies are not enough to entertain this pup.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Ch, Cha, Cha, Changes . . .

Name that song!  We're going back a ways here, 1990s maybe.

My hydrangea changes color every day.  And even though I put rusty nails in the soil to help it turn blue, evidently it didn't work this year.  Or I heard the story wrong and was supposed to use something else besides rusty nails.

No changes here, Dolly is steadfast and loyal, keeping watch from her porch perch for any threats along the perimeter.   Either that or she's making sure no bunz escape, which did happen yesterday.

Now this streak of lightening project is undergoing major change.  I've decided that a scrappy quilt layout is not what I want.  So I'm taking all the sections apart and will use more monochromatic prints in both blues and backgrounds.  Thankfully, I have enough blues in my stash.  And since the rectangles are 4-1/2 x 2-1/2, it should work up fairly quickly.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Wordless Wednesday
