Quilt News and Happy Friday from the valley!
The big move is over, adjusting is currently on the ticket.
Yes, I've mixed up the order of my photos because I like the colors mixed up.
The temperatures are cooler here but it's still dried out. Last week there were some wild fires in the surrounding hills and for a few days air quality wasn't good. But this week the wildfires are under control and the air is a lot better, thankfully.
And I've been piecing a nine patch border for my Summer Quilt #2. A sawtooth border will go outside that next, similar to the sawtooth border on my small summer quilt I named Grey Star. That little quilt, Grey Star, was finished last summer.
That, quilt friends, is the quilt news from the valley where progress is being made!
What projects and colors have you been dreaming about?
I've been thinking about and studying neutrals/low volume colors lately.
Stop in and visit Jean Wells, she has some great ideas on color for a class she's putting together. She gets a lot of inspiration from her garden.
Always remembering to be thankful.
I'll be by to visit soon.
