Yes, I have been missing in action...but there has been plenty of action around here...just not exciting action! I have been sewing while listening to audio books...plus...throw in a touch of gardening (just enough to get a nasty sting!) and of course our daily hikes (YIKES...another bear sighting!!). Seems quilting is the only SAFE and pain free sport out there! :o)) But it was all good, I just had nothing blog worthy! And I still don't for that matter...but will show you the progress that I have made on my tree quilt...
SEW...I have two more trees that need borders. Those improv borders take time...who knew?! :o) Then I need to 'fill in the holes'!
Glynis has also been busy working on her forest too...and it has a whole different look! Check it out...
So there you have it...more trees...but we are both heading for the finish line!
Before you leave...head on over to Laural's blog over at
Simply Put Plus! She is giving away the cutest 'Pumpkin Friends' pattern EVER...it's one of her newest patterns...the ink is still wet!!
Hey, that strange sound that I hear is RAIN...yup, it is finally raining on Vancouver Island!! I can hear the brown grass (our lawn) slurping it up and saying "FINALLY!" All my dancing (rain-dancing that is) paid off!!
Have a FUN Friday and Happy Stitching!~P
Thought you were probably busy with your flock in the forest or other interesting exploits! Both the forests are looking good!
ReplyDeleteYes the trees are really looking great! I have been missing you, glad all is ok. I am sure we can get along without you for a few days. Looking forward to seeing the finished top. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI love the improv borders, even if they are time consuming. They make your trees sparkle.
ReplyDeleteThat was a long time you were MIA.......I was worried! Glad u are good, just hard at work.
ReplyDeleteYou two girls are creating some wonderful trees. Each doing your own thing. Glad you got some rain. Every drop helps.
ReplyDeleteThose trees are looking really great, Paulette! And those borders are so cute too, I don't remember them from anywhere else. It's going to be good!
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping Vancouver Island gets lot and lots of rain--then send it into Washington and on to us!! Those are some odd looking trees--winter-y looking!
ReplyDeletegood to read it is raining for you, hopeflly it is raining whwre the fires are too.
ReplyDeleteThe trees are looking good such fancy borders you have added It is good to see the various blocks made by 2 people and how different they look when different fabrics are used.
Your trees (and the birds, of course) are looking great. Have you checked there are no bears hiding behind them though?
ReplyDeleteWow! Your trees and birds are looking sensational! What a great quilt you will have!
ReplyDeleteLove the trees!
ReplyDeleteLove both versions of the trees. I always find it interesting how a single idea can be spun so many different ways to create interesting designs!
ReplyDeleteI love those borders on your trees! So glad to hear you are getting some rain. We have had enough here, I am ready for a little sunshine. Of course it snowed yesterday!
ReplyDeleteYour trees and birds blocks is going to make a very good quilt. I am anxious to see what you use for fillers.
