More Triangles

My challenge to myself of this hand piecing piece is to use up the isosceles triangles from another already completed project. I ran out of purple triangles for the border and am now working with the aqua ones which limits my choices but that could be good. We'll see how it turns out.

This Cobblestone rose garden is ready for borders

and thankfully I have several options....hmm.

Opinions?

Old Fashioned Frame Quilting

I have had the privilege of working with some other ladies to hand quilt this bed sized quilt on an old fashioned wooden frame. It is taking lots of old fashioned time, old fashioned discussing life together, recipes and tips for life. What fun.

"Create"

I find it difficult at times to continue to create when I have so many completed pieces that I would like to sell. Why create more? But as I was praying about it the other day, I felt the Lord speak to my heart, "Create". Ok - Cobblestone blocks are easy and fun for me so I created some abstract flower ones from my batik remnant bin. This Works For Me ! (Wednesday.)

Knitting Quilters

Donation #11

Having available hand work is valuable when waiting for an appointment etc. However, dim lighting creates challenges which makes knitting the "keeping the hands busy" hand work of choice. I committed to knit one scarf a month for the shelter which is included in my one donation per week for this year.

Honey Lavendar Soap

Since I was almost out of my hand made soap, and since I scored 2 of the 2 lb blocks of glycerin soap base at Goodwill for $2 each, it was time to make more soap. My last adventure in soap included adding ground oatmeal and lavender blossoms which was pretty but didn't seem to smell much and clogged the drain. SO, this time I added lavender scent along with the local honey and forgot the coloring. We'll see.

Ahead Of Schedule

Four 14 inch squares cut into different sized strips are then

converged then cut and converged make this bright Preemie Quilt.

So far I'm ahead of my goal for one donation piece a week for 2010.
