A new block and a quilt show

A new block for me, “Path and Stiles” it’s called I believe. 1 1/2″ finished,which means the little lines coming out from the center are less than 1/4″. That was tricky. Lace doily, porcelain buttons, broken wood trim and piece of old map.

God make my life a little light,

Within the world to glow.

This Thursday my guild will be setting up our quilt show where I’ll have a booth. It’s at the Moses Lake High School Friday 10 – 8pm and Saturday 10 – 4 pm. Hope to see you there!

Have a nice Monday.

LOVE

Love in her eyes sits playing,

And sheds delicious death;

Love in her lips sits straying,

And warbling in her breath.

Love on her breast sits panting,

And swells with soft desire,

No grace, no charm is wanting,

To set the heart on fire.

Love in, etc.

1/2″ squares. Happy Monday.

Last Row and Eggs

Well, the last row I have to do. I tried a new block in miniature and it came out alright, just not the right size. Supposed to finish at 2″ but was a little larger.

So I went to a 1.5″ Friendship Star and added around it to make it 2″ finished. I wanted the more complicated star but with family coming any minute and a busy rest of the month, I didn’t want to make Diane wait another month. And it was soooo hard not to do scrappy. From top to bottom: Julie, Nansi, Diane, Candy and me.

Check out Diane’s block closer, she designed it herself. It finishes at 2.25″. Isn’t that a neat block? I can’t imagine doing that one in miniature.

My rows are home now, I’ll show them later. Below is a piece I finished last week, it’s on canvas, something new for me. It says: Don’t keep all your eggs in one basket. I used Distress It spray by Hooked on Rugs, an antiquing solution for punchneedle and other fibers. I like it, quick and easy. No need to run upstairs and make tea.

See ya. Happy Monday.
