This and that . . .

There was a little bit of sewing this week . . .
I finished the quilt for my new niece!


I did simple straight line quilting a half inch from each seam.


I love this easy and quick quilting method.
I still need to wash this, but it is already soft and crinkly.


I also did a little exploring with a friend of mine.
We stopped at a roadside gardening place that
I have driven by a hundred times . . . 


Very inspiring! I wish I had seen this bird bath before I moved
out of my house.  How cute is that!?  My bird bath always had
a film on the bottom, this is a great solution to an unsightly
problem.  But of course, there would be no water for the birds!

And these lovely glass jars in three pieces. . . 


I can see a terrarium in my future!
The perfect thing for apartment living.
Love those colors!



on another note . . .
Halloween is only about a week away.
Don't you love this enthusiasm? 

I'm so glad others have the drive to do this.
It is fun, but . . . 


So much work!
Do you see the body on the roof wrapped in spider webbing?
Very inventive.  Hahaha.


Hope you had a great weekend and had some fun!

  2. Lovely little baby quilt. You always have such an eye for great color combinations. That planter is really great inspiration for a quilt color palette!
