Todays progress

 I spent all day cutting trees and tree trunks.

I used every pin I had to put them in place

so Saturday I need to fuse things in

place so I have my pins back.

I have a few corrections to do before I fuse.

 Than I can move on to making birds.

 I am even adding things to the middle panel.

 Need to lighten this tree up;

This panel needs work.

I am pleased by the progress.

It is looking like I imagined.

Bargins

 Part of the perle cotton I got at the close out.

Can you see hundreds of X's on a white background

creating a pattern. That is my idea for the thread.

Something to do when I am recovering from

knee surgery this summer.

 I forgot to mention that the fabric was only $3 a yard.

That was too good a deal to pass up.

Today I fused 37 yards of 22 inch fabric.

I was preparing  the tree fabrics

 Friday I will start on trees.

 

More fabric

 Somehow I found another 44 yards of fabric that

I could do something with. The top two will make a

great modern quilt. Zebra is always good. The bottom

fabric maybe goes with the top two.

Orange is always good.

Excuses.

By the way I bought all the pearle cotton she

had left I have an idea using white fabric and

stitching all over it with colored thread.

I can always have my own sale. :)

Progress on the big one.

 I  was busy today working on the quilt.

I have the background stitched on the

other 4 side panels and will start to add the

trees. Than to build some herons and

other birds. I am having trouble keeping my

focus. I am the type of person that has

a short attention span. I am anxious to

move on to something else but I know

that is not going to be possible for 2 more

months. Patience. I do not have any.

The robins came home.

My robin quilt was hanging in a medical center

for 9 months I brought them 5 paintings instead.

And brought the robin quilt home.

I really like this quilt.

I find I get attached to them

The first big art quilt I did.

The woods road lives at my daughters house.

Another one of my favorites.

Today I fused the backgrounds on the last.

four panels and stitched one of them.

Tuesday I will stitch more of them.

Than I can start adding the fun stuff.

Another cold night.

It is just a matter of tolerating this weather.

It will eventually end. 

Thinking Spring

Wrapped in a blanket in my recliner thinking of

spring. I think of birds and flowers.

Green grass and green leaves.

Warm air and sunny skies and rain.

I spent yesterday putting leaves on the trees

on the big quilt. Lots of leaves.

I will start the other panels on Monday.

I first need to make all the backgrounds

coordinate and flow than I think I will build

the birds and squirrels.

Finally settling into a rhythm with this project.

But today its is a snuggle and cuddle day

with a good book in a warm house.
