Ozark Puzzle Quilt

In the making, pretty purples with florals kissed with blue and green, I am making a quilt that is near and dear to my heart. My mother taught this one to me a million years ago. We called it Ozark puzzle, but when I search for it now, it is known as Love Ring. I love it no matter what you want to call it.

Crazy Wavy Quilt

So much fun to quilt!

I wanted to do a wavy strip crazy quilt and came up with this

The fabric bundle to the right is going to be the backing

My #1 critic, Snicker's walked down the strip like it was the catwalk. Approved!

On the frames, with a few stitches. The freedom of  no stencils, no pencils, having made the decision a long time ago to do as much freehand as possible.

Been a bit pokey in the quilting department lately

Lone Star Quilt in Purples and Blues

But every now and then I throw a few stitches in this upcoming beauty. It will be approx 42x42 when complete. The colours make a sweet combination and I have always loved the Lone Star Pattern.

All done!

Bzz Agent reporting about COVERGIRL’s Embrace Your Face Tool

I recently tried Covergirl + Olay Simply Ageless foundation. Such a wonderful product. Just like applying lotion, it blends with ease, feels light and natural and looks really nice. I'm not one to wear much makeup but this really feels like you aren't even wearing any. Trust me, try it, you'll like it!

Tumbling Blocks on their way

Here's an amazing Custom Quilt in the traditional Tumbling Block Pattern. Ordered in black, grey and white, I was thrilled to find this treasure of a print with all the elements, in stripes. I just love the way the colours compliment each other to create this classic look. I am excited to say also that this quilt is finding its way to it's final destination, the furthest I have sent a quilt too: Istanbul, Turkey!

Love the optical illusions created by the Tumbling Block Pattern.

A long time in the making

In between other projects, I have been working on this "Beauty" The cross stitch blocks of Beauty and the Beast and The Rose were quite the undertaking as I usually do pieced quilts. I am so thrilled with the finished product. I found it hard to put down at times, had to set it aside on occasion to do other quilts, but finally decided to call it complete!
