progress makes me happy!!

Oh boy, am I a happy girl! I left you with the triangle quilt center finished. Ta Da!! The borders are on and I have made and sewn the top border details. Great progress here at Wazoo.

End of day one: Borders on

End of day two: all the elements copied, fused, cut out and ready to go

At the end of today, I had the elements in place and sewn down. Yippee!
Only three more borders to do...

Meanwhile, I quilted this beautiful, modern shibori quilt. I love the inset Kaffee Fassett fabric strips.

The customer had a pack of 10 inch squares of shibori fabrics and inserted the Kaffe strips improv style.

Panto: African Samba

The backing is shibori, too.

We took in six quilts today! I'm always glad to see my quilting friends and customers and find out what's going on in their lives. Everyone is so friendly and happy. Now, I just have to quilt them all...

On the garden front, Mr Wazoo has been like a pig in mud these last few days! The weather has been lovely and sunny, so he has been puttering around outside digging, planting and mowing. He even painted the jacket on our new gnome. The gardens are so pretty right now. I'm lucky to have someone who loves to garden as much as he does.

What a gorgeous day!

Here really is a pot under there!!

Peas in a pod!

The butterflies are back and as colorful as ever. 

Black eyed Susans blooming again

Sven now has a blue jacket to go with his red hat.

These hydrangea are called Strawberries and cream. When the bloom starts to fade, it turns this pink and white combination.

Aren't they pretty!

Tomorrow, I'll be doing laundry, making a lunch for the cooler and packing for my trip to Wisconsin. I'll be gone a week, but will be enjoying a nice visit with my family and friends. Molly will keep an eye on Mr Wazoo for me, and together they'll hold down the fort here at Wazoo.

I think she suspects something...

Moving along with triangles

 I sewed the backing and quilted a charity quilt for my evening guild today. That gave me the time to finish the applique on the triangles and sew the rows together. Some of my points are nipped and some don't match up perfectly, but I am tired of this project and want it to be finished!! Tomorrow, I will add the outer border and do the applique on it.

The quilt top was made by a member of the guild

I made the back and quilted it with the panto, Chantilly

The backing was way too small, so I added a long, wide piece down the center.

I put the blocks back on the design wall to get the setting right. I liked this enough to go ahead and sew them together.

The middle is sewn and the setting triangles are on. Tomorrow, I'll do the outer border!

I also finished sewing down the trees and bears. Ready for quilting!

On the way home from the memorial service, we stopped at a lawn ornament place and perused the statuary. Mr Gnome came home with us. Today, Mr Wazoo painted his hat red. I think he's awfully cute. Another gee-gaw for the back yard.
