On Saturday, I worked in the studio, and Mr Wazoo quilted in the man cave. He finished a pretty string quilt that will be a gift for the quilt maker's pastor.
|
The quilt is a wonderful, scrappy one. |
|
People from the congregation signed the blocks. |
|
Panto: Square Spiral. Here is the back. |
I quilted this lovely Kaffe Fassett themed quilt. I love the BQ patterns!
|
The colors are taken directly from the focus fabric |
|
Panto: Stacked Snailz |
|
A look at the back. |
I also made a few more blocks for the folk art style quilt. It's fun to pick out the colors and various fabrics for each one. It may be a bit fussy, but I am enjoying the journey.
|
I've used wool, flannel, homespuns and cotton quilt fabrics. |
|
I have a fabric with typewriter keys on it, and I thought the 'B' key would make a clever door for the bee skep. (Along with the bee fabric, too) |
|
Here is where I decide how the blocks will look, and do the fusing and glueing. |
|
Eight ready for the stitching part, and ten to go. |
Mr Wazoo finished my dresser and moved it to the bedroom, too! I have moved my clothes in and have thinned out the closet congestion by putting some of the shirts in the old dresser. I use that small dresser for a nightstand.

After. He fixed the veneer, sanded the entire piece, painted it and did the detailing, polished all the hardware, and added drawer liners. Wonderful!! |
We spent the afternoon on Easter with friends, chatting and having shrimp etoufe, salad and a nice dessert of home made cookies with vanilla ice cream. Yummy! Miss Molly had a fun afternoon with the dog and cats, and had to snooze with her toys in the evening.

She's the big white fluffy one... |
Tomorrow, I plan to do a bit of work and get my stuff ready to be packed for Paducah. It has been a nice weekend.
