Sweet Grace

A pic of Sweet Grace, a design by Jan Patek, I've shown it before but what the heck.  I actually used raw edge applique on this quilt.  Next on my list to machine quilt, leaving only one more quilt to machine quilt to catch myself up.

Funny, odd how the little things can freak me out more than the monumental events.  My big computer crashed the other day, right when I was trying to open my Etsy shop.  Had to stop screaming "are you kidding me" long enough to calmly think, computer geek think, how to fix it myself.  And to my surprise, right in the middle of my computer geek thinking, I get a sale, "are you kidding me", now, I can't connect, well I can with my IPad which makes no sense, which sends me back to the main computer, it can be fixed, since it all makes no sense.  You know all this technology makes no sense, it just works, so reset, reset, reset even more and I'm back. 

I will have a link to my Etsy shop soon when I'm ready.

 I finished stitching the blocks today and added the red print borders.  Love that dark red.  I can't take credit for the fabric choices.  The fabrics came with the BOM kit and out of the left over fabrics, I chose the red for the borders.

The triangles inside the pineapple were suppose to be stitched, but not liking to stitch triangles, I appliqued them to the background.  Now that I see the quilt, wow, it's bigger than a lap quilt, unless I have a big lap.

The cats have their noses pressed to the screen in the one open window that I leave open for air, must be a bear or a maybe a mountain lion, but then being cats, it could be a moth.  I can remember one time when Jim and I had a bear come to each window, late at night.  The bear was looking in each window, I finally opened a window and slapped the bear on his nose, didn't want him tearing the screen.  It startled the bear and I yelled to Jim,  "I touched his nose."  "You did what?"  "I touched his nose, felt just like a dog's"  "Oh for goodness sakes."
