After the power sewing session last week, I have not even touched my sewing machine since I got home. It felt good to get a start on the bowtie quilt.

I really like how this is turning out. All the bowties are vintage feedsack fabrics and the backgrounds are modern up to date fabrics.

I loved the ballerinas on this fabric and didn't have enough to make one of the squares. I resorted to the old fashion way of piecing it to make it work.

This one feels very contemporary to me, I could see this in a current collection.

How fun is this?

Even I who struggle with contrast realized a lot of these were low contrast. I went ahead and used them any way. I like how some of them fade in and out, like old quilts. It makes you have to really look at the fabrics.

One of the things I bought at the quilt show were these bundles of hand dyed wool.  I have a definite project in mind for these little pretties.

I really like how they are gradated. Isn't this a pretty blue?

This is where I got them. Jackie is a fun person with lots of beautiful wool. Call or email her if you have something in mind.

We had some campers in our woods this weekend.

My grandsons, Griffin and Elliot camped out with their mom and dad. They cooked sausage over the campfire in the morning, with some honey buns to go along just in case.........
