There is no joy in Mudville...the Packers lost yesterday to Tom Brady. To add insult to injury, he plays for the Buccaneers now! Oh well, I had work to do and got on with it.
I have a commission for a Packers lap sized quilt and found it ironic that they were playing while I was sewing. I had the sound muted and lovely Bach music playing, so the sting of defeat wasn't quite as harsh.
I'm making a BQ2 quilt but it is slow going because the fabrics are directional! I have to lay everything out to get the lettering going in the correct direction. Three of the five rows of blocks are sewn while the Packers play on the TV.
While I sewed, the Millie was chugging along on customer quilts. Both of the quilts are from the same customer and will go home as soon as she can pick them up.
This colorful project is quite large. It will certainly add some brightness to a bedroom!
I chose a simple swirly pattern for the quilting to mimic the linked circles in the focus fabric. I used yellow thread.
Tone on tone green backing.
The second project was this sweet baby quilt
I used my favorite butterfly panto for the quilting with pink thread to echo the butterflies in the focus fabric.
Soft flannel pink elephants on the back.
Penny has started a new thing. She sits in front of me and 'talks'. Barks and growls and head tilts didn't get me any closer to knowing what she was trying to say, but it was cute. She did it again this morning...
