Wordless Wednesday on a Thursday 12-28-17

I think I am really losing it - I can't seem to keep the days straight.  Since the trash collector came today my brain tells me it is Wednesday  But I guess the calendar is correct!

Del's Quilts Ghost Gums 12-27-17

Here is another Del quilt.  This one was created in an Empty Spools Seminars Ruth McDowell class in 2005.  One of about half a dozen or so quilts from her classes that I have actually finished and quilted.  I have quite a few finished tops that I have never had the nerve to quilt.  The top picture (the full quilt) is on a background of ecru because it is so narrow I think it needs the background wall showing.   This one belongs to a collector in Pacific Grove, CA. 

 

"Ghost Gums"  Del Thomas 2005  10"W x 50"L

Cotton fabrics, thread, batting.  Pieced and quilted by home machine.

Ghost Gums are the tall light colored trunks of certain species of eucalyptus trees.  In the wild they tower up above the surrounding shorter trees and glow in the moonlight.

"Ghost Gums" DETAIL  Del Thomas 2005  10"W x 50"L

These oak and maple leaves would not be under a gum tree, just consider them dirt and leaves - it is the texture I was going for.

KoKo's Christmas treat 12-25-17

KoKo had a special doggie treat today that was sent by Lisa Yoder in San Diego. 

Not sure with this first bite, but "Oh, yes... mmmmm!"

 

He will get the second half tomorrow.  Gotta watch his weight.

Favorite Things 12-23-17

This is one of my favorite things I have found on the Internet.  Turn up the sound so you can hear the rain at the beginning.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c9-poC5HGw 

There is such a vast array of faces in all colors and ages; and they mostly look so happy.

And here is another favorite thing.
