Spring Ahead

I was trying to come up with a name for this top.  Since it was completed on the day that we changed clocks, I thought why not "Spring Ahead".  Different and a little bit quirky, eh!

The tabs are all sewn on now and four circles in each corner finished the look.  I'm very happy with how this turned out.  Well .... actually, more than happy .... absolutely thrilled!

Now, what about a pattern?  That is a question that was sent to me.  All of the blocks are drawn and written up, so it wouldn't take much to do up a pattern.   Would anyone buy it, other than the one person that asked?  I guess that is something to ponder.  As they say, nothing ventured, nothing gained.  So, we'll see about this idea.

Have a great day!

Applique quilt

In between working on my assigned UFO (It Just Takes 2) for this month, borders are getting sewn on my guild's applique quilt.  I really need to come up with a name for this quilt.

What a difference it makes with all those tabs around the outside!  Love this design.  I'm so proud of myself for doodling and coming up with different ideas.  I just love playing the 'what if' game.

Have a great day!

Winding down

The renovations for now are winding down.  Just in time for my Aussie friends who will be arriving tomorrow and staying for a week.  What fun we will have!

For my appliqué group at day guild this week, three more blocks were presented for them to do.  The ladies are doing good and some are thinking outside the box and I'm keen to see what else they come up with.  The appliqué method this time was using freezer paper.

This is what my pattern is like so far.

These are the three new blocks:

The next set of appliqué blocks will be presented in January 2016.

Have a great day!
