When I first started quilting, I volunteered to make a quilt for the silent auction for our homeowners association Crush (as in grape crushing) Party in September. Dear Husband reminded me that time is ticking away, thus I better get cracking on this piece. Here is a picture of 4 blocks of the pattern. It's the same one I used for "Wine Styles" and "The Grapes of Rhone" but this theme is more olives/olive oil than wine (we have olive trees growing in our development as well as grapes).
I made a good start yesterday, getting two rows completed. This look is a more "country" than I would typically use, but it's Debbie Mumm fabrics that are supposed to be used together. It is coming together well and will work up quickly, which is why I use patterns with these large blocks.
It was so good to see you, if only for a few minutes today as you were leaving the rink. Thanks so much for the book.
ReplyDeleteEnsemble practice was actually quite good, but I must laugh and tell you that my competitor in Dramatic and Freestyle is a complete sandbagger. I saw both her programs today in full, with music. They are absolutely lovely and very well skated. I teased her about her trying to lure me into a false sense of security. I'm so glad we can laugh together about it. I think we are well-matched, but she does love to perform and will beat the blades off me in this aspect. We also worked on the jump/spin event. I am doing a half-flip instead of toe-loop. She's doing the spinning, thank goodness. All-in-all, a good day skating, but didn't get much accomplished, I'm afraid.
