Evidence of Work

It's been stormy here off and on for the last few days.  And hot...OMG is it hot...and humid; like a steam bath.

But in between playing with kitties I have managed to get a little work done.  I needed a new quilt for the guest beds...all of them.  I'm working on one right now...the others will come later.

 

This is for our downstairs guest suite.  The walls will eventually be a light , cool grey. I have my red, black and white quilt hung in here and we have other black/white/grey artwork for this room.  So I needed a quilt to tie it all together...something simple and graphic, yet that would bring the pop of heat to all that cool neutrality.  This is what I came up with.



and there will be lots of leaves too...I threw a couple down to give you the idea.



I think I'll be ready to load it for quilting  in a day or two, so I can get started between the thunderstorms.

And I even re-covered my ironing board...boy was that overdue!



And for those who tune in for the kitties....





Have a great night and stay cool!

  1. No worries with staying cool where I am right now... Your current project is looking intersting. I like the background fabric.

  2. Oh my gosh! I love that quilt. I'm looking forward to seeing your quilting on it.

    We're having trouble with the heat here too. It's running about 90 for a high and we're having a geothermal system put in. So we're without AC for a few days while it's being installed.
