Bits of this and that

April was a great welcome to Spring. A few showers, storms, sun, great variety. Here is a variety of what I've been up to...  

First, a wild Comic quilt for a son who is wild about comics. 

  

A quilt in process (on the frame being quilted). It is made mostly out of the "Flea Market Fancy" fabrics with a little treasure added in here and there. A lady ordered it custom for an anniversary gift for her parents, and asked for stitched in words of all the things the family liked to do.

Here is Jackie relaxing on the lake. 

And all three happy Jacks - lets go lets go!

Smiles!

Orange triangles Baby Quilt

I am going to be a Great Aunt, my nephew and his wife are going to have a baby. 

Excited. So excited that I had to make a gender-neutral baby quilt.

 The Orange is not florescent! It is simply THE color I cannot photograph accurately. The picture below I tried to edit it to calm it down, but ?????

Going to get this in a box to mail.

Have a happy weekend!

Modern Boro patchwork

"Boro" meaning rags, raw edge scraps of fabric - patch over patch…

Very modern using machine stitching (lots of it) and bright modern fabrics.

In my shop. 

Dog Party

Two goofy Boxers. Zeek and Miya. They are my son and dil's sweet dogs. They play and play and play… then they stop for big velvety hugs. They use their paws a lot. 

This is Boozer, my Mom's newly adopted Pug.  He turns in circles when he is happy and he just gets along well with anybody. 

We are dog sitting this weekend, six total counting my Jack Pack.  

Who, I might add, are the mellowest of them all!
It is interesting to me seeing the unique typical characteristics of the different breeds of dogs. 

happy sunshine dogs

It was kind of springy today and the Jack Pack loved it.
