| Fabric that is not the challenge fabric |
My little quilt group in Wales is having a challenge. We each were given a fat quarter of this lovely, bright lime green print. I am not being sarcastic, I really did love it! Anyway, this afternoon I finally cut into it and got my top made. I had a plan as soon as I got home and matched it up with the leaf print pictured above.Of course, being the space cadet that I am, I did not get a photograph of the challenge fabric. I took a ton of photographs of the process, and not one of the challenge fabric by itself. I do not want to publicly post those photographs until after the meeting. So look for it in a future post.
And I did get my
pants mended. It doesn't look all that great, but since I tend to wear long shirts to cover up my curves, it should be ok. For now. It just means I have to go jean shopping. I am not quite up for that ordeal right now.

| Tonight's sunset |
I just love the wonderful sunsets we have at our house! We live on the east bench and so have wonderful views of the west mountains. Every day is a wonderful light show!

| Geraniums |
My Dad has two pots with Geraniums at the cabin. He is not taking them south with him this year, so I will get them. Hopefully they will be able to survive the winter in the basement.

Some inspiration while walking on the beach!

| I love to find art in the wild! |
I did not draw this in the sand. I love finding sand art left behind by others. Luckily it had not yet washed away.

| We saw a moose! |
Sweetie and I drove up the little Hodges Canyon road and were delighted to see this moose having breakfast! Yes, I did use a telephoto setting to capture him, but we were only about 20 feet away in our car, so we were safe. Moose do not back down.

| The lake just sparkles! |
I am standing at the high water mark when I made this photograph. We are on the west side of the lake and it is very shallow for a long ways. So in a low water year (like this one) it is quite a hike to the lake. You can see from the plants that it has been a couple of low water years.
It always throws me off when there is a holiday weekend. I don't feel like I got a lot done. I hope to have more to show next week.
What a beautiful place to live! I look forward to see the top!
ReplyDeleteI personal subscribe to the rule that one can never have too much lime green in ones life (I have about 25 shirts and 5 handbags that will testify to that fact!). I like that you chose a complimentary color to pair with it!
ReplyDeleteI've just begun to love lime green....a favorite color of my DIL.....now I wonder what took me so long.....anxious to see your finished project!
ReplyDeleteI love your sunsets!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big lime green fan also and have a lot in my wardrobe and my quilts. I look forward to seeing what you do with your challenge. What a beautiful sunset!
ReplyDeleteI have worn lime green for the past two days while teaching decided I would wear hot pink today just so my students would know I don't wear green all the time. You live in a beautiful place. Love the moose.
ReplyDeleteI love your photos..Had to show your moose picture to my son. I take care of my adult 20 year old son which is autistic and has other health problems and he loves to see animals. He really enjoyed seeing it. And I got to learn a lot about Mr. Moose and his kind. My son is like a walking encyclopeida sometimes...lol...It is all good ...Love to see this kiddos excitement and enthusasim for the small things.
