Disappearing Nine Patch Completed

I have completed my version of the Disappearing Nine Patch from  Julie Cefalu’s Disappearing Nine Patch Quilt Along.

I decided to quilt an edge to edge called Mountain Laurel.  I am not a frame quilter, but I am so happy because I had no tension issues whatsoever!

I am also happy to have another finish!

This was a fun quilt along and it is an easy quilt to make!  Great for gift giving, or if you are looking for something to cozy up with this winter!

A Stroll in the Garden

“look at its shape, with vibrant yellows and oranges, a sunflower can brighten your day…it’s as if it is smiling like a happy face painted on the sun…so if you do only one thing all day, let it be to smile, so you can brighten the day of others around you, just like the sunflower” 
― Bodhi Smith

 

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. It’s what sunflowers do. -Helen Keller

“Because somehow, the sun rises each day. Emerging from the horizon, brighter and more beautiful than the previous day. You’ll rise from the horizon too, learning to trust again. Learning to love again. Learning to heal. You’ll emerge so bright that the haters will be blinded. And darling, you’ll be the sun then, bright and beautiful, but they won’t be your sunflowers.”

Candace Project 7

I may switch out a fabric piece, or two, but I am happy with how the Candace fabric portrait looks, and I think she is ready for the stitching phase.

This is the last update for awhile.

Other things call for attention.

Life beckons.
