New York Beauty......Fresh 'n Fruity

New York Beauty.....Progress

I have been camped out at the Palace for a few days:

This is my campsite:

My suitcase is packed:

My camping equipment:

I am determined to make some head way

on this project!

This is my original lay out...

This is my revised lay out...

This is subject to change.

Piecing a NY Beauty Block:

The center arc is paper pieced...

Back side of arc section...

Remove papers from back of arc...

pin bottom corner of block to arc...

Curved Piecing...

Half Way done...

Pin top corner to arc unit...

Piece together...

Block Completed...

The block I just pieced is in the top left corner

on the design wall...

Still deciding if the new lay out is working?

Last count I have 56 blocks done...

I am thinking I will need at least 30 more?

Eclectic Hexy Quilt......Progress 3

Progress Report...

Eclectic Hexy Quilt Top

This is the quilt top in April...

It has tripled in size over the last month...

I am having so much FUN with the

Eclectic Fabric Line...

I am adding half hexagons:

at the top and bottom edges...

This will give the quilt a straight edge treatment...

On the sides I will need to add triangles

to create a straight edge...

I am planning to use the red stripe fabric

for the final border treatment.

I am nearly done with this take-a-long quilt

and I am missing it already.

Guess I better plan my next take-a-long project!

I have been busy planting seeds:

Filling up the little greenhouse in the back yard...

We don't have a very long growing season here in

Western Oregon...

These seeds will be ready to plant in the ground

by the first of June.

Freckles the Cow Mama turns 32 this year!

She is currently babysitting 50 head of yearling cattle

just outside our yard fence.

Wildflowers Quilt.....Under the Needle

I've been finishing up the Wildflowers Quilt

in the Thread Shed...

Thread Shed.....Built in 2000

It is finally......under the needle

This quilt is all about these gorgeous Hoffman Florals

I am using gold thread that will blend...

I don't want the stitching competing with the fabrics...

I am quilting a leafy vine design...

The quilting shows up better on the back side...
