Happy summer and it's almost the weekend,
With 4th of July coming up next Thursday!
The clouds have burned off and the sun is warming it up here.
My Yankee Puzzle block quilt has been pieced and will soon have a 2" border making it 36" finished.
Red certainly takes the dominant place or depending on how you look at it, the neutral place.
'Alice in Red' block has had another border added to bring it up to the same size as my 'Alice in Blue' block. They will make up a medallion center. I'm designing or improvising as I go.
In remembrance of all the men and women who serve our country in the armed forces, and remembering all who've given their lives in that service, we are grateful. There is no way to repay what you've done, we owe you all our deepest respect and gratitude.
That my Quilt Friends is the news from the rancho, where I'm remembering to be thankful.
How are your projects coming along, using any red?
I'll be by to visit.
Hmmm - haven't been using any red recently, but HAVE been seeing red a few times as I sorted out technology woes AND struggled with PMS Albatross. I know I prefer your reds to mine!
ReplyDeleteWell thank you! I hope you get your technology figured out, that can be so frustrating.
DeleteI love Alice in Red. And the fruit is so delicious right now! Yum.
ReplyDeleteAlice in Red is very intriguing. I like each new addition. I especially like the name.
ReplyDeleteI'm slowly working on my own Red as a Neutral and thinking it's getting close to the finish line. Your Yankee Puzzle has such pretty colors all working together. And peaches are my favorite. Yesterday I picked a bowlful for a cobbler.
ReplyDeletePicking fresh peaches, it doesn't get better than that.
DeleteLots of red! The quilts are very creative and the peaches look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI just love these Alice blocks and your Yankee Puzzle is gorgeous with such vibrant hues.Happy Stitching to you from me outside Ottawa, Canada!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jocelyn, happy stitching to you too!
ReplyDeleteSuper fabrics you have in Yankee Puzzle, I especially like the one with strawberries featured.
ReplyDeleteI love the combination of red, pink and ochres you have in the Yankee Puzzle blocks and Alice in Red is growing beautifully. You make me want to do something in reds now too.
