Scrappy Strings

A young lady is going to receive this lovely quilt her Grandmother made for her. You guessed right, she's moving into a big bed.
It was quilted  E2E (edge to edge) with flowers and butterflies. The variegated thread shows up beautifully in the solid sashings and border, back is a solid blue thread.

It was a bright sunny morning, so the quilt pictures appear a bit washed out.  And on that note here is what is happening with real flowers at our back door.

We are back to seasonal temperatures, so after several days of 25C + temps. The growth of things is again slowing down, and hopefully no harm will come to precious fruit trees that show buds beginning to swell

Happy Monday,

And the Winner Is....

So I went to the 'random number generator.org, put in the number of comments and voila the name next to said number of the day is Linda W.  in Surrey, B. C.
Linda was notified, has sent me her postal address. And that's another Blog Party.
I appreciate all the comments, I hope those who have decided to follow along with the blog are also
nervey enough to comment now and again.
 Well,  Linda I am not the fastest one off the block but never fear, I hold to my promises.  I usually manage to get to the Post Office once a week....sometimes this week the package will leave Ontario for points west.  I lived in North Delta for a few years, so I am kinda sending this to my old stompin grounds.   (grin)
Happy Sunday,
gudrun

Another Finish

Actually two recent finishes. Both these quilts were inspired by Sharyn Craig.  If you haven't heard of her, you really need to check her out.  She often posses the question "What If?" If you are into using up scraps, she's a wonderful resource.  I am presently working on one of my own, using her methods.
I am hoping to get at least to the flimsy stage by the end of the month.

Both quilts are lightly quilted, with an 'open' pantograph.
Happy Monday,

Wow

Wow lots of folks like the colour green.  I like it too.  I have very little in my wardrobe, unless you count ear rings..but I have 4 green quilts, have made 5 green quilts...and working on another one with lots of green.   My first quilt is a small yellow and green log cabin.
Do not have a picture of that one...at least I can't find a picture.  I know where the quilt is though  :)
Then there's this basket one.   I purchased a kit, one winter when I was depressed.  Trust me it's very green, check out the back.

This  twenty patch was a 'find'  there were about ten completed blocks when I found it for the pricely sum of $2.00

The back on this one is a hodge podge of left arounds...mostly yellow.

This also is made from left over blocks....read the details here

Remember to leave a comment  to qualify for the  'green's....see the previous Blog Hop post.
Hope your Saturday is as good as mine...which is very fine.
