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.

Lets Sew Quilt Along

Block 12 of Segment 3 of the Sew Let’s Quilt Along QAL is called Rotary Cutter and is designed by Sandy Maxfield of Sandy Star Designs.

I love this block!

Quick, easy and fun to make!

The rotary cutter must be one of the all time best inventions ever!

I no longer have a floating boo-boo on my last block.  It isn’t technically correct; the leaning bolt ought to have background on the bottom, but just imagine that the fabric has slid down the bolt, so you don’t notice.  Ha, ha!  I am done fiddling with it!
