There is a Japanese Garden outside also.

I'm getting ready to load this ugly quilt on the frame.

It's a UFO from 2011 that I'm still shaking my head about. Orange is the LAST choice on my color wheel, and these fabrics must've jumped in my cart when I wasn't looking. Gonna use it to practice some new LA designs. If it's true that sometimes "the quilting makes the quilt", it's the only hope this poor thing has. I'm just going to relax and have fun quilting it since I know it won't go to anyone!

I have been asked to make a graduation quilt for a young high school valedictorian, in the colors of the college he is going to. It's for his dorm room. I'm not wild about the school colors, but in the disappearing hour glass pattern they look great! Here are some of my first ones. The little one was a 'tester'... will work it into the back. There will also be black in this quilt.

Recently someone posted a two color quilted on the Picture forum that I fell in love with - so I started working on that this AM. I'm doing it a bit different - mine should finish out about 24" square.

Here are a couple of "in progress" pictures.

I also want to get a quilt loaded on the long arm. I've only completed one quilt since getting the new machine. I was going to put this one on - but I just ordered the Pro-Stitcher and I think this would be a good one to practice with that

- So I think this one will go on instead. I've got quite a few tops ready to quilt. BTW - this picture was taken before I put the boarder on. I really like the butterflies so I know I'd enjoy working with it.

Got one quilt off the longarm, pieced a backing for the next one, finished up a little baby quilt top from the remains of a fabric line (3rd quilt from the FQ I bought of this fabric, and I think I can finally say DONE). And I put together some blocks for a panel I want to finish up for donation. Now I'm off to work, and when I get home I plan to attach the binding to a quilt, and maybe load a new one on the longarm.

I haven't made it out to the garden yet, was having too much fun sewing. It's normally for me to get my garden in late (like first week of June) and it always seems to do fine anyway.

Here is my mini-quilt. I love how it looks like wide lace laying over the top of dark fabric. I won't do anything more with it until I decide what it's going to become - it may just end up as a cabinet runner.
