A Day Out

Hubby & I went for a drive to Hatch in southern Utah.  A small town on old Highway 89.  The weather was cloudy but it was a very nice day.  We did hit some rain here & there but not too much.  Just south of Thompsonville I had to pull over to take a couple of photos.  The clouds were hanging on the mountains.  So beautiful.  Hope everyone is having a great day too.

New Quilt Order Begins

After pondering about the next 4 quilts on the list I finally decided to begin with an order for a little boy's bed quilt.  It will be a simple design as the printed wildlife blocks need to stand out.  I am using my 1946 Singer class 66 machine.  She sews like a dream.  Have to get one of the vintage machines up and running every once in a while.

Love this little 1946 beauty!

Sneak peak at some of the fabric for the next quilt.

Amazing how much I can fit into my small sewing room.

PICTURES OF THE EASTER EGGS THAT THE GRANDKIDS COLORED - HAD TO TAKE PHOTOS BEFORE THEY GOT TOSSED A WEEK AFTER EASTER.

One of my daughters in law found an idea on Pintrest.  You add about 1/2 tsp to the coloring & dip the eggs.  We found that if you dip the eggs in just plain dye & then into dye with the oil you got amazing results.

I have talented artists for grandkiddos!

Rhythm & Rhyme & HARMONY

Worked all last evening & tonight to finished this quilt.  I really like the way it came together.  The patter is from the March/April 2015 Fons & Porters Love of Quilting.  The quilt was designed by Linda Pumphrey.  I did make one change by doubling the size of the outer borders.  The quilt is a special order for a young woman's graduation.  Hope she likes it.  The weather was pretty grey this evening so I had to take the photos in the house.  Lighting was not so good.  The colors ares actually brighter than they appear.

Size turned out to be 77" x 91"

Love the way the blocks created the pattern.

The name came to me last night.  I had something else in mind, but Harmony is what this quilt is.
