Odds and Ends




This is NOT my quilt top - but I love it!

It was pieced by a local quilting friend
who brought to our Wednesday group
so she could pass it along to Chris for quilting.

It is SO vibrant and full of movement . . .


Yes - those are two of Mr. Marvelous's toy parts in the corner


DH has spent the last week or so removing 
the 25+ year old green tile floor in our sunroom
and replacing it with this new ceramic tile.
(each tile is 12" x 24")

Solid, soothing 
AND 
much easier to keep clean.




This is the breathtakingly beautiful backing fabric
I chose for the second of my two mystery quilts
for this year's Davies Manor show.

(Lilac Rose PJ-17 by Philip Jacobs-Westminster)

I really want to sit down and get these two quilted
but there is a lot of LIFE going on right now.

Elder son and DDIL have a new-to-them-house contract
and are busy preparing their current house for listing.

So . . . Mr. Marvelous is spending more time with us
to let them stay focused on the many tasks at hand.

It's going to be a busy couple of months.

If you think about it, your new floor is a ceramic quilt with grout instead of stitches.

Your friend's quilt is a beauty, warm and bright.
Have fun with Mr. M, so cute at that age.

That's one wonderful colourful quilt and a lovely design. Lucky you having that PJ floral in your collection, it is glorious!

Oh, poor you!! Extra baby time? I'm pretty sure you would GLADLY give up sewing time for that. Have FUN!!

Very pretty new floor tiles! Clean and classic. And that backing fabric is gorgeous! I just want to wrap it around myself. I'm sure if it's Westminster that it's very high quality, too. Enjoy your grandma time :)
