Sewing - discovered quilt top 07-01-21
There are boxes and baskets and bags of quilting stuff that I haven't looked at in decades. But I need to keep digging through it all and find new homes for a lot of it. Today I looked in a box and discovered a couple quilt tops and miscellaneous fabrics and some self made "kits" of quilts that I thought I would make. I can tell the ages of some of them by the fabrics. Mostly the prints, but also some fabrics that are cotton/poly and I don't remember when I last purchased cotton/poly. The pale blue border on this quilt top is a flimsy cotton/poly. I think this came from a workshop where one stacks different fabrics, cuts all the layers together, and then "mix and match" to make blocks. Since I almost never work with pink it struck me how pale this is compared to the most recent bright "Pink Tree".

Sewing 06-30-21
I was on a roll with the background ready to go and decided to add a tree. Also decided to keep going to finish a piece for the SAQA auction. The deadline was today! So, I added the tree, quilted that, put in some birds, zigzagged the edge, put on a label and two rings for hanging. Finally shipped it late yesterday via FedEx. I hope someone likes it and buys it on October at the online auction.
I don't know how to make pictures the correct color. The pink here is rather washed out while in actuality it is mostly very bright pink.

Traveling 06-27-21
When going so slow there is a bit of time to see the surf in several places along I-5. This is one where the white line of gentle waves shows just beyond the greenish weeds.
