Spring Glory!

Two Commissioned Quilts Completed

Image one:  quilt front
Image two:  quilt back
Image three:  quilt front and Tiberius

The first quilt was a melmade original, my sweetie sketched a design of a tree at sunset, and earth tones were requested for a colour scheme. The front is my abstract take of that design and the back is just a fun combination of solid colours I thought worked well together. One individual thought the quilt back reminded him of flags in an ocean of water, I like that description, thanks Odin.
The third image is the second quilt I finished up yesterday. Tiberius lays claim to all creations, by the way. It is the Point Me quilt pattern by Denyse Schmidt and I have used this pattern before. This time the fabrics for the triangles are different shades of blue and it is a queen sized quilt. I was able to do some long arm quilting on both quilts, after renting time on a machine from a nearby sewing store.
Both quilts turned out quite well. It feels great having completed these projects and I hope both quilts are enjoyed in their new homes.
Enjoy the journey.

Hello, Spring!

Happy Spring! There has been snow, lots of rain, bulbs and trees are beginning to grow, and there are so many birds. There is a chance of more snow, but it will melt. The hand knit vest was a gift for a wee baby boy. Tiberius is super excited about all the birds that keep him busy rushing from window to window. Hope all is well in your corners of the planet. Take care of each other and enjoy the journey. ox

March Snow

 March came in like a lion, a windy and snowy storm last week. This week things are warming up and the snow is beginning to slowly melt. We removed a good portion of the snow off the back roof this past Saturday. Finally making progress on a quilt commission that I have been struggling with. This second quilt front above is complete and I will be renting time on a long arm quilting machine in two weeks time to quilt the three layers together. Feels good to be making headway with both projects. I have a couple of knitting projects on the needles that I am enjoying, a wee vest and a shawl. Hiking and skiing this Winter have been thoroughly entertaining.
I like this quilt pattern and would like to make my own version at some point.
Paula's work never ceases to amaze and inspire.
This photographer is amazing!
Enjoy the journey. ox

Happy February!

Tiberius loves the sun.
Hand knit a scarf for Mom and socks for Emily.
Loving the sunny weather!
Not sure where January went.
Hope all is well in your corner of the planet.
Enjoy the journey.
