Ta - done!!

     

   

 

Finished, wrapped, in Chicago, and probably being delivered as I write this!  Between the busy, bright prints of Dr. Seuss and chasing thunderstorms, it was really difficult to get a good picture!  The pattern, A Perfect Ten, can be found here.  I've used this pattern on several occasions, its a great way to showcase large prints.

Belated

Well, I got busy yesterday and finished the project I was talking about.  Here is my ta-dah!  It is quite a belated Christmas gift for Vickie!

I sure hope she likes it.  Oh wait, I think she does.  She has seen it in progress.

It is made from a Heather Bailey pattern that can be found here.

I like it so much I think I will be making another...with a camera pocket.

Wishing you progress,

Weekend shopping

Hey there!  It's been a couple weeks since the last post.  So as to not slip back into the two month cycle I've decided to post a quick one here.  I have been working on a project that is so close but not quite ready for the ta-dah moment.  In the mean time I thought I'd share what I picked up at a local quilt shop.

In honor of the Super Bowl they had a sale which included 75% off all fabric in the clearance room.  I can see these destined to become backgrounds, backings, sashings, and bindings in the near future.  Watch for them.

And I'll leave you with a peek at a recent non-quilting finish. 

I really did make two of these so I have a pair.  I wear them frequently and am working on a coordinating scarf.

Wishing you progress,

Mrs. Rice
