I've got the first four rows sewn together,,,
I've also got the last four sewn together.
Here they are laid out to be sewn together as a whole piece. I'm now working on appliqueing the tulips and a few more leaves and then it will be ready for the next step.
This is the cover quilt on Quiltmania that I used. I've changed the size of the block, the width of the stems and designed my own leaf shapes. I'm also doing template and starch method of applique rather than fusing as the pattern calls.
This little guy has been visiting me and singing to me almost every day.
I managed to creep a bit closer the next day to get this photo.
Here is a short video of the wind storm we had the other day.
Here is another short video of trying to find him in the maple tree as he is singing to me. When the video is still you can just see his head jerking as he cheeps at the bottom of the tree close to the horizontal branch.
Spotted a heart on this poppy in the centre.
The heart poppy is the top of the five in this photo.
Look at all the flowers on the Rosemary plant in Rita's garden.
Walking down to Rita's there were two seagulls enjoying a respite on the deadhead tree.
Coming back a crow came to visit with a Cormorant?
Deciding not to talk to each other.
Crow gone but Cormorant enjoying flexing his wings.
The trees are filling out and the rhododendrons are in full bloom.
Throw back Thursday to 1995 when I was interviewed by the Royal City Record about the mohair Teddy Bears I used to make and teach classes at a local quilt shop.
I think the photographer must have taken 50 or more photos. The big bear on my left is almost 2 feet tall and my original design.
What's going on in your neighbourhood?
