This is one of my favorite patterns. Done in modern fabrics or traditional 30's it is always spectacular.
Florence amazes me with the amount of beautiful quilts she makes.

Rose has done it again with this wonderful brightly colored quilt pattern named Alvira.
Because of the ocean prints on the fabrics Rose asked that we stay with a water theme.
So I whipped up a few shell templates, placed them randomly over the quilt and joined them all with softly flowing water.

Well it was really 4 pumpkins, just on 2 toppers. Kathy brought in a pieced back with a wonderful owl to topstitch and to save a little, brought in 2 table toppers to do at the same time.

3 for the price of 1. |

A pieced back for all. |

Look at those eyes!! |
In the owl we decided to topstitch little scrolls. It was a perfect way to ensure that all the small cutout flowers held their place.

Using a lilac thread for the owl and then a green/grey thread for the background made sure that the owl was the centre of attention in this wonderful wall hanging.
Well worth the challenge of the webbing used. I had never seen fusible web that gummed up a needle like this one did.

Bad needle!! |
Using the green/grey thread for the background worked perfectly to continue right on into the 2 pumpkin toppers. And how much fun is making spider webs freehand on these ready for halloween pumpkins?

I thought afterward that I should have placed a spider on each topper. Now that would have been spooky!!
When I phoned Lynne to pick up this quilt I asked if I could buy it. I love the colors and the bright fabrics she picked.
I could see why and although I hated to see it out the door it gives me inspiration to make a bright and bold quilt for myself.
Lynne did such an awesome job of selecting just the right color and pattern to go in the right location in the blocks.
I also really liked how she placed a yellow row of centers then a orange row. Zig-zaggy purple and wow.

Such a lovely and fun quilt Lynne, thanks for letting me topstitch it for you. I had fun adding the final touches to your quilt.
A friend of Lynne's bought this beautiful fat quarter bundle and gave to Lynne as a gift. Lynne then made this stunning Tree of Life lap quilt to give back to her as a thank you. Isn't friendship wonderful!

Sometimes you have to make something just for the fun of it. I have a closet upstairs in the bathroom that is without a door. It had a simple white curtain in front that had seen better days. So I decided to make a quilt just for it, and just for the fun!!

The eye!! |
His cap worked out well using a hand dyed fabric with a tad of tye-dye magic. All in all I thought he was a handsome fellow.

Topstitching Squiddly was the fun part. I added seaweed to the bottom and a slightly turbulent water pattern to the top half.
