Quilt #1

Finished my first quilt today. Learned a lot while doing it - I'd be embarrassed to have an experienced quilter look at it, but I'm still sorta proud that I finished it.

It is going to Stella the cat. We r hoping she'll leave her human momma and daddy's quilts alone and adopt this one for herself!

Reconnected with a long lost cousin on fb today! What a thrill. As I get older it's important to me to stay connected to the relatives I have - so woo hoo for me!

The mosiac tile project has finally set up enough, so tomorrow I'm planning on grouting. Standby for further! Never done this before :-)

I'll try to post a photo of Stella's quilt tomorrow!

Mosiac Tile Project

Well, T and I worked on the mosiac tile project a bit on Saturday. It was fun - he had some great ideas on how to break the ceramics I bought. I think I've learned that flat pieces, dishes, etc. work best - the curved cups and bowls are difficult to use on a flat surface. I'm waiting fot the adhesive to set up - it was rainy and damp here today (what's up with that?) so I'm going to look at for grouting tomorrow. So far I've enjoyed the process and would like to do something else. I think that garage sales would be a better way to go - getting the ceramics, etc., for cheap.

T grilled out filets Sunday nite - delicious as always. He is a fantastic griller! He put everything together - I love that.

I finished quilting and tying Stella's quilt today. Now I must tackle the binding. That has me in a bit of a muddle but I'm going to watch some you tube videos to help me out. Very disappointed the quilt class I signed up for was cancelled! :-( I was so looking forward to it, but I'll find another one.
