Happy Birthday girl :0) En Provence

Me, my granddaughter, my son and Ms. Kristol the birthday girl.

I finished this on the car trip with the label getting stitched down after hand binding the stripped
blue bias binding......I think it was the perfect ending to a wonderful quilt by Bonnie Hunter..

The birthday girl was thrilled with her gift :0)!  Happy Sewing

Block two

Block one and two of Pat Sloan's new sew along " Grandma's Kitchen"  I decided to go bright after
doing her last sew along " Solstice" in red and white.

Happy Sewing, Kim

Pat Sloan's  ' Grandma's Kitchen" sew along started this week and will be a once a week release until Nov.
Since I did her Solstice sew along in red and white I think it is time to add some color!

These tracks are 42 inches in wideth, can you see how she has  pushed herself along with her flippers?

We look for these tracks at sunrise, everyday of the week a group of turtle walkers checks for nest all along the North Carolina coastline.

This momma turtle walked all around this dune finding just the spot she wanted, she walk and worked so long that her tracks from the water to the dunes were washed away, only her exit tracks back to the water were visible.

Hopefully in 45 days or so we will gather to watch the baby turtles hatch and run to the sea.

Happy 4th of July!, Kim

Triangle Gatherings ...update

OOPS   where is #45?
Back to the sewing room to make it.

Anyone else caught up in Lisa Bongean's Triangle Gathering?  I'm loving it and so proud of myself for keeping up :0)

Happy Sewing, Kim

Rainy day Sea Turtle Watch

Rainy beach morning looking for sea turtle tracks indicating turtle nests. Females lay the eggs then leaves them buried in the sand  to hatch on their own 45 to 55 days later.

Solstice

Add caption

This is mostly Pat Sloan's Soltstice pattern, but I have also added orphan blocks from my failed attempt to making "Just takes 2" a 2010 by Brenda Papadakis and Gay Bomers sew along.  I think it is a nice combination of blocks.  Oh also the feathered star block is made from Marti Michell templates and not included in either sew along.

Happy Sewing, Kim

En Provence

Bonnie Hunter is tying up the loose ends of her annual mystery quilt " En Provence" with a linky party.  Go check out all the beauties that have been made!

Mine is still a work in progress, I added a center pink block to match the star points, I'll add a small blue border before it is finished.  I also added an extra row to make it large enough for a queen sized bed.

Thank you Bonnie for another Great Mystery :0),
Happy Sewing ,
Kim
