Working on Garden Quilt Top
I have been trying to finish up the applique on my pieced and appliqued garden quilt. i started this in Mary Lou Weidmans class in May and have been working on and off ever since. There are lots of cats and birds. It's very colorful and makes me happy to look at it. I have a few more bugs and butterflies to put down and the sun needs to sewn down. Just trying to figure out what I should do to the outside edge. I need a small border but I don't know what to put down. Hmmm. have to think about it.
Bee Swap Quilt
I joined a group of women who made and swapped bees made in a very free style commonly referred to as hoochy style. You make it look like a bee but it doesn't have to be perfect.

Coeur d'Alene
This was the beginning of a walking trail next to Lake Coeur D'Alene. The moose has a tiny mouse on his head.
Mary Lou feeding Gus at the buggy barn.
Mary Lou took us on a trip around Spokane and we went to a quilt store called the Buggy Barn. This was Gus the owner's horse. He loved granola bars and Mary Lou fed him one she had in her purse.
Funky Chicken from Mary Lou Weidmans Retreat.
We were working on Hoochy Blocks of animals during our quilt retreat in Post Falls, Idaho. This is a very rough looking chicken. Very festive but rough. These blocks are a blast to make because nothing has to match and you can still usually tell what the thing is suppose to be.

Finished quilt. Karen Stone's "untietled" pattern.
This was finally bound this week. It has been sitting and waiting for me for months. A wonderful quilter in North Dakota, Beth Cole, did the quilting on this and a few of my other quilts. I am almost finished binding them too.
