Harry's all wet....

While we were having dinner tonight, we heard this big splash;  Harry fell in the pool...again! Probably jumping up the screen after a lizard.  It always amazes me too, that he never gets his head wet when he falls in...never!  That boy must hit the water swimming!

He sure does look pretty pathetic when he climbs out though....Poor Harry!



oops, forgot to fix the red eye from the flash. Oh well, it adds to the overall pathetic look, LOL!

I'm still working on the mini's

Slowly but surely.  I'm sure glad I limited the number of students in this class!  The main designs went very quickly, thanks to my circle lord.  The background fill, is a different story!  But slow and steady wins the race, so they say and I'm making headway...gradually.

Want a peek?  I thought you would.

















I'm obviously still working on that last one.  And just as a size  reference, each of these little quiltlets is 12 inches square.

Back to work, or I'll never get done!

Mail Call

The mail has been good to me this week.  First, our family postcard for October, from Mary.



And a postcard from Jami for the MQR "salt & pepper" swap.



They are both great! Thanks Mary and Jami.

And then my long awaited diamond die from Accuquilt.



I already have the fabric to use this one! I love 60 degree diamonds for backgrounds.

Did you get anything interesting in the mail?

Harvest Moon

I've added a short preview of my latest Premier video on my website.

MQR Premier members will have access to the entire video later today in the forum.

A quiet day

We had a cool front come through last night, first one of the season. Today was a nice change, the high was only 78. The next couple days will be nice. But then we'll warm back up to our normal.  Chloe & Harry were thrilled that all the doors were open to the lanai and the front courtyard!

I spent my day working on the background fills of the mini's for my class and I also got some appliqué stitching done.



It's coming along nicely, and I just love all the color....thanks to Vicki's beautiful fabrics.

All in all, a productive day.

The Last of the Mini's...I promise!

You are probably tired of these by now, but here are the last few.  While some are similar, each one is a little different. That way, no two students will have exactly the same piece. And, I didn't get bored stupid quilting them!













Today I worked on doing the background fill between thunderstorms.  All of these little quiltlets really showcase the versatility of the Circle Lord system.  I think my students will be happy with these! I know I am.

More Mini's

I worked on the class mini quilts again today.  The main motifs are all done now.  Just the background fill is left to do...though that will take a while. Here are the rest of the designs.  Again, the frames are done with various Circle Lord templates and some of the motifs too,and some I embellished. Lots of variety for my students to choose from.



























And in case you're wondering the batting is one layer of warm & white (on the bottom) and a layer of Hobb's Polydown Plus on top. Now the work begins!
