Upcoming Projects...

I had to go fabric shopping.

Hobby Lobby...my fave store, where

Kona cotton solids are always on sale. 

When I was at Jill's house this past Saturday,

I fell in love with - & was inspired by - her shower curtain.  
To make a quilt...not a shower curtain.

Ya just never know what's going to inspire ya, hey?  {grin}

I wasn't going for the same exact colors, more the effect.

I think these will work nicely...

Kona cotton solids in

stone/brown/cinnamon/expresso/earth.

Fabric for a baby boy quilt...

needs to be done around Christmas.
(the prints were bought online...
just the 2 Kona pieces were bought at HL)

More on this project when I post finished photos.

 Meanwhile, I have many Christmas gifts to work on.

No more fabric shopping for me.

In the Nick of Time...

Got it done!

woohoo!

It's after midnight (Friday night) 
and this quilt is all washed & dried...

ready to go.

It's for my sister, Joyce, to give her grandson.

Tomorrow. 

The fabric is 'diggers & dozers' with Kona cotton solids.

I quilted it with YLI variegated thread
in the color 'primary'

in not-so-straight lines

which are unevenly spaced.

Intentionally.

 Measures 50x52 inches.

Must get to bed.

Looking forward to a great family day tomorrow!

Goodnight.

DQS9 fabric is here!

I now have all the fabric for my dqs9 quilt.

May add some Kona white and/or black.

I think these will work nicely together.

Now to decide on a design for my doll quilt.  

I've done nothing today.  

Must get busy!

One Down, Two to Go...

I kinda wish I needed more than 2 more fluoroscopy-guided injections in my knee (synvisc).  The doctor was way too cute.  And, nice!  ...and then he touched me.  oooooh-la-la!  And, did I say how cute he was???  I tried to find his photo on the UW website, but I cannot remember his name.  Can you believe that?  I must have been too busy swooning when he introduced himself.  {sigh}

Okay...settle down...deep breath.  

I did not take photos (though when I told him that I had contemplated it, he thought I was quite funny).  But, you know, I didn't even get to watch the procedure, cuz I was laying flat on my back.  

I was a bit nervous this a.m....fear of the unknown, I suppose.  Once I was there and he explained everything and I asked a gazillion questions (just to hear him talk), I felt much better.  He numbed my knee...deep numbness.  I felt the prick and sting.  After a few minutes, he told me he was injecting the synvisc and I got all excited cuz I couldn't feel anything.  It was a very simple and painless procedure.  YAY!

I had to stay for ~30 minutes after the procedure...just to make sure that I did not have an adverse reaction.  Then, he released me.  Ya know...told me I could leave.  {grin}

I'll try really hard to get his name next week and then I can post a photo.  I might even take my camera and ask the tech to take photos.  

They have valet parking at the UW...how great is that!!!

I ran a few errands before I came home...to the pharmacy & credit union.  Then, I went to Hobby Lobby where I selected a few Kona solids for Riley's turtle quilt.  Avocado and Paprika...YUMMY colors! 

For the rest of the day, I have nothing planned.  Just going to take it easy and do some finishing work.  I need to bind the rest of Janer's quilt and the other placemat for the placemat quilt swap.  And, I need to finish quilting the rest of the baby blush quilt....then I can put the binding on that and work on finishing it.

Blush...

Here's what I did this afternoon.

I used one charm pack of Blush by basicgrey for Moda, 

and 3 Kona solids.

(milk chocolate, some kind of blue, and pink) 

This is what I came up with.

It's a very girly-girl quilt-top, don't you think?

 

I need to get some yardage for a small border and the backing.  

Right now, it's measuring about 36" square.
