As fun as the wedding was to plan and experience {and it truly was a complete blast}....it is good to have some time to work on a couple of things I have been wanting to try.
I have always loved the simplicity of a spool quilt...
where the textures and the quilting really do most of the talking....
I need to gather together a few more 'black' fabrics for the spool tops and bottoms and perhaps throw in some Essex in white and natural for the negative space....
And then I have a super secret project...that will have to wait for it's debut...
We had another busy weekend....daughter #2, Maggie, graduated from OSU on Sunday...
she was one out of 5 students graduating with a degree in Animal Nutrition....out of 10,000 graduating students! I found that amazing! She is a smarty pants!
happy monday!

ReplyDeleteMolly has the beauty and the brains I'd say! And the spools are great. I've toyed with making one of those so I'll wait to see yours and then blatantly copy it! And a secret project too! You have thrown yourself back into it!! Have fun!

Spools are simple and fun. Can't hardly wait to see the final quilt. Aren't smart children fun?
ReplyDeleteThese passing milestones in our children's lives are so exciting. I have never heard of animal nutrition, I expect that's a really interesting subject to study.
