Here are a couple photo's of my first two finishes this year.
Hung the quilt on the cloths line on my screened in deck, but could not get the wind to cooperate.
And this is the Christmas wall hanging that is completed.
I am knitting wash cloths like crazy, it gives me something to do in the evening in the same room with hubby. Someday I can demote all my old wash "rugs" to the ragbag for cars washing.
I am about to finish a third UFO in fact I am big stitching with #12 Perle cotton I have all the lines of a cross hatch going one way and thought what is wrong with leaving it just one direction. Nothing really, except every time I look at it will I think "Slacker". Maybe I could just give it away so I don't see it. I'll let you know what I decide.
It has been another beautiful day and I keep thinking I should get a jump start on the leaf raking since I did absolutely none in the fall.
We had an eagle over the lake this week which is a little unsettling with small animals around, but my dog weights almost 20 lbs so I am not to concerned. I imagine it was eyeing the geese,ducks or fish in the water. I mention that because a dear friend lost a Yorkie to a coyote we assume possible bobcat right in it's back yard this past Saturday. Just killed it and left it lay. Probably would have come back for it if it could have. So sad.
Not much else going on here.
Guess I will eat some dark chocolate coffee beans and see if I can stay awake past 8 p.m.

Good for you!
ReplyDeleteKatie, your quilts are stunning. You are so talented. I love dark chocolate coated coffee beans.
ReplyDeleteWe have two resident eagles that lives in the tall pines in the lane and a coyote and foxes have been seen near our farm too last fall. Always unsettling. Take care. JB
yum dark coffee beans. 2 shots of caffeine! I just had brownies and hot tea.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I can't comment any other way but in a reply box. Just wanted to say that I think your quilt is just beautiful! Love the colors!
DeleteGreat idea Cheryl! I have not been able to comment on your blog Katie unless I google it and come in the back door. It is just a frozen screen! Your quilts, beautiful as always. The story about the coyote is sad. I am sure the coyotes we hear at night are killing the kitties we try to feed.
Deletewowee katie...you are on a ROLL. your finished projects are fantastic! keep on going! i can't wait to see more. keep an eye on your pooch. those eagles are quick and strong.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are just amazin' sweetie, I love the patterns and the colors.
ReplyDeleteRemember Angel, the young girl with cancer. She couldn't find her little Chihuahua. It was left outside all day Saturday.
God bless ya and have a marvelous day sweetie!!! :o)
Robin's quilt came out beautiful. I think those are great pictures. Sad about the puppy...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work Katie. I have to tell you I adore ADORE the block on your top quilt ... is it log cabin the block that has the terra cotta colored CROSS (that's what I see anyways) and then the other pieces in that block are TURQUOISE AND TEALISH? I ADORE THAT! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteHad never really thought about eagles swoopin in on pooches like that? egads. I had no idea. Poor puppy. Love to you Katie! Lea
