Happy to be home
There are some that wouldn’t have wanted to come home from a tropical island to Minnesota but we were ready. We feel very fortunate that we are able to travel and that we love coming home too.
From sand to snow…they’re not calling for much but it’s a nice welcome home.
My main goal between now and the next trip is to quilt 4 HeartStrings tops but the best view in the house for watching the snow fall is my sewing room. This time of year I’m so happy I moved my machine in front of the window.
So a little progress was made on the assembly of this “I Spy” tumbler UFO of mine seen here on my design wall. I expect that this top will be done before I leave for San Francisco too.
I just love how cute these novelties are cut into tumblers.
Those are adorable fabrics!
Love the quilt, and I am also certain that cutting all the tumblers was much easier with your Accu-cut. Can’t wait to see it with the binding.
I like the idea of using tumblers for the I SPY quilt. So glad you put a little flamingo in there. (MY favorite)
I love the use of tone on tones between the I spy tumblers. Do you have a special little guy that is going to receive this one? I, too, am excited for our little snowfall. But then I don’t have to drive in it. I did take a few of my recent quilt finishes for Gillette Children’s Hospital and hung them outside on the washline and took some great wintery pictures. Its so peaceful out. Thanks again for sharing your talents with so many.
I like your I Spy Tumblers, too. Why is it you are going to SF? Have you told us, and I missed it? Waving at you from just a little North and East of California. You’re a traveling gal…
I love, love, love snow and some of my best times are spent in my quilt room when it’s snowing. I, too, have my machine butted against a large window that allows me to look out over some ridges, pine trees and valleys … it brings even more harmony and peace to my sewing. I just LOSE myself in that room…….LOL
Great spot for the machine. I like to watch snow coming down, just don’t like having to slog around in it or shovel it.
Way cute quilt! I love I Spy quilts but usually do the Disappearing 9 patch for them. Cannot wait to try a tumbler!
Mary what size tumbler die is used in the Ispy quilt
Beautiful colors and prints! How will you bind it or put borders on it? It is great having a snow covering, and my 8-lb dog really appreciates that we don’t have snow up to her ears!
Hugs from Mounds View!
