I just got an email that not only surprised me, it thrilled me!!! I was on Bonnie Hunters site looking at what she had to say and I left a comment. NOT because she was doing a draw, but because I loved what I saw and wanted to comment on it - and I was one of the two lucky winners!!! She drew my name!!! You can see it here, if you want to read about it!! But isn't that exciting?!?!
So, last night, I decided that I had to get my Jelly Roll Mystery done - well, the top done and out of my hair!! Bonnie Hunters new mystery is starting this week and I need to be done some of my projects - this one was first on my list..... And here it is.
Do I like it?? It's bright and happy looking, but I am thinking the square border just gets lost in it..... But it's done, and I enjoyed it and now, I can move on to all my other projects!!!
Like my Halloween blks!! Here are the last of them - I got them done today after using them as leader/enders during the above mystery! And it was quick to put them together - which was nice.
I am going to get ll my blks together and then give this quit a 4" border. Then the binding which I might do a deep orange or purple even!! But I might do black..... (boring....) I am thinking the one on the right will be used as the border. It's pumpkins and I think it works for this quilt!! I have a close up it below.
These are more pics of the blks. Closer views. I ran out of the black pumpkin ribbon fabric so, I had to use plain black. I think it will look okay once in the quilt - right now it's kind of popping off the screen, but it's going to be fine. If not, it's okay. It's Halloween and doesn't have to be pretty - just fun!!
I really like the bats on the blue.
Here is the pumpkin fabric that I think will be it's border
The other is orange stars on the black background. I don't like it as much...... and besides, I have way more of the pumpkin one so....
I am now working on the border for the coffee quilt I did this summer. And that is what I just left on the ironing board when I decided I had been in my room long enough.
Today I was listening to Queen's greatest hits while I sewed, and I think I turned it on again and again about 4 times!!! (it could have been more....) I enjoy that album! Okay, CD - and soon it will be 'digital copy'...... And I am probably should be thinking of getting myself an MP3 player, just to have huge variety of music I can sing to while I sew. Some people whistle while they work. Me, I listen to books or music that fills my soul with joy and crank it loud!!! I was at one meeting once, a work meeting, where you bring your machine and sew. I was told, not to play music, (it was classical music, softly playing by my machine.....) by a woman who can be - difficult - but I love her, so I turned it off. But I did not understand it. Rock, yes, that I get and as loud as I would have it sometimes at home, I get, but elevator music just for background sound....... I still don't get it. And I know anyone else wouldn't have minded, but I never brought my music to share again. And that makes me sad because I enjoy music while I sew. It helps me keep moving and makes me smile and I just enjoy it!! What do you do while you sew?
I also listen to books!!! It's fun!!!

Congrats on your win! I like your Halloween quilt.
ReplyDeleteI've usually got cartoons and loud little boys in the background when I'm sewing. Unless it's late at night -- then I've usualaly got something going on Netflix or the DVR.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are really looking great!
