Keeping busy.....

Paper piecing in progress for this little quilt ("love" template from http://www.kelbysews.blogspot.com/ for Sew Mam Sew http://www.sewmamasew.com/blog2 . Barbara, the BQFF, made these sweet, smaller versions for BQFF Judy and I.
But being computer and mathmatically challenged...I couldn't figure how to shrink each letter on my printer site. Oh well--this will be a nice small quilt when it's finished. DD has her eye on it already, maybe... :-)
Just have to finish the 'e' and maybe add some of this wild fabric to the border (or at least the back!)
It's a man's tie print--with all the colors of the letters, so................
And here's a possible little applique shape for the yellow/grey baby quilt coming up--

What do you think?? There's an elephant I'd like to audition also.... :-)

It sure has been lovely weather here, and this Stargazer blooms between our house and our neighbor's. It was planted by their daughter when she was around 11 or so. She's in U of M's Nursing program now, but when I see this I remember what a happy little gardener she was, too!
Enjoy the week and happy sewing........!

What a nice post - so happy and full of ideas. My new neighbor is quite the gardener so maybe her green thumb will rub off on me. I love the giraffe!!

That tie fabric is wonderful...the little love block very cheerful. Ah stargazer lillies...I love them but they are one of the few flowers that makes me sneeze!
