finishes and stuff

In early summer there is a crepe myrtle outside my window that blooms into wonderful flowers.

In fall and winter those blossoms have turned into food for the cardinals and blue jays.

I wonder if my houseplants are jealous?

I finished this wall hanging.

It's the first quilt that I have finished in a long long time. 

I've done more crocheting than quilting. I made this little scarf for a friend.

Dexter is ever vigilant, making sure I am doing everything the right way

. . . and probably watching for me to drop crumbs!

I actually finished a SECOND quilt! 

This one is a bed sized one.

This quilt actually sat on my quilting table, partially started, with a needle in the fabric, for months! I started it and just left it sitting there on the table, waiting for me to come back. The pattern is "Nordic Fireside" by Piecing the Past Quilts. I used a lot of colors that I normally don't work with. It wasn't a hard pattern, just the timing of the whole thing. I am happy to have it completed.

Uh-oh, I think Dexter is tired of waiting for me. 

Time to go. Until next time, happy crafting everyone!
