How to avoid Quilting...

We decided to remodel our master bathroom...

April 2013

Time to say goodbye to this 1980's bathroom...

Going....

Going.....

Gone!

100 Year Old Bath Tub.....Needs to be restored

Installing a Chandelier...

New Bath Tub Fixtures...

New Vanity and Mirror...

Refinished Tub...

Here's the completed Bathroom:

November 2013

New storage shelves...

where the old stand up shower used to be.

Wainscot on the walls...

When you remodel.....it takes up Quilting Time!

Another Time Stealer:

Fixing up new digs for

The Harlan Valley Quilters

This will be a great place for our group to meet:

So glad all of this is finished...

Now I can get back to the business of Quilting!

Wildflowers Quilt...

It's good to be back in the Thread Shed...

I am inspired to finish this Quilt.

It has been stored in a pizza box in pieces

for 12 years:

Wildflowers

This is made from Hoffman Florals

I started it a dozen years ago.

I finished piecing the borders today.

It is photographing poorly....sigh.

I grabbed a few big florals to piece a back for it...

It is ready to go under the needle.

Yes, Gunnr sleeps soundly under his new Quilt!

The sunset was so inspiring last evening:

The view from the back door...

Wishing you lots of inspiration!

Time...

I definitely feel the passing of time...

We enjoyed a beautiful summer 

here in Western Oregon

The flowers decorated our yard with so much color

Summer is Gunnr's favorite season

We attended an estate sale 

and brought home 11 yards...

33 feet of fabric for $5

This will make great backings for comfort quilts.

Summer has passed us by...

The apples are ripe and it is pie baking time

The trees soaked in all the glorious sunshine 

during the summer months...

and now they are giving back all of that sunshine 

to us....they are just glowing!

The fog is just rolling in this evening...

Within minutes, the entire river bottom and valley

are engulfed in fog...

We made a difficult decision last week...

We decided to remove the fir tree in the center

of the yard...

The huge limbs fall from the tree every time the

winds come through, damaging several of our

vehicles over the years.

Half of the limbs have fallen off on the right side 

of the tree (back yard view).

For 26 years we have watched that tree grow...

Here is the view of our yard without the tree...

We miss that old tree.

Yes, I am definitely feeling the passing of time.

On a happier note, I am back in the Thread Shed

creating with fabric and thread.

I have new Quilting Sketches to share with you

from my sketch book.

More to come...
