QUILTED LADY

 I've been a bit worried about quilting Lagertha's hair.  I've been stalling.  But, I couldn't get much farther on the quilting until I got to it.  So, today was the day.

Here it is - it turned out okay, too.

I've been quilting the whole thing in an improv-style.  It's been terrifying and yet fun.

GETTING BIGGER

I've been working on the Improv Tree Tops quilt a little bit each day.  It's getting bigger, but I'm a long way from the size I'd like it to be.

 

IT IS COMING ALONG

 I 've been working a bit on the Tree Tops and Angles.

IMPROV SCRAP PLAY

 A bunch of us joined Sherri Lynn Wood on BravePatch for an Improv Scrap Play workshop today.  We made Tree Tops and Angles.  

I thought it might be a good plan to use the scraps from the recent finish, Playcation 2024.  I started out with those, but soon realized that the project needed more variety.  So, I got out the Blue Scrap Bucket and the Yellow/Gold bucket and continued on.

What I had done by the end of workshop.

And at the end of the day.

INTO SEATTLE

We took Quinten with us into Seattle this morning, in the rain, to have breakfast at Lowell's in Pike Place Market.

Afterwards, we walked around the Market a bit.  I stopped in the Starbucks for a coffee and bought a Pike Place Market mug, too, to add to our collection.

Then, still raining, we drove up on Capital Hill to the Blick Art Supplies store.  I bought some needed watercolors and some marking pens and other bits.

The Jimi Hendrix statue is in front of the store.

LAST MORNING WALK OF 2024

 It was a beautiful last morning walk of 2024.  The clouds cleared away to reveal a beautiful sunrise.  

Good-bye 2024!  It was fun.

It's been windy lately.  There are several trees down in Lincoln Park.  This one is across the main Bluff Trail.

Do I go under or around?

PLAYCATION 2024 QUILT TOP

 Over the last few day I've been sewing together the improv blocks from Cheryl Arkison's Quilters Playcation 2024 - all 49 of them.  I finished the top today.

Since I shy away from making square quilts, I made my blocks 10" by 12" because there would be 49 of them.  Which would make a great 7 by 7 blocks quilt.
