Frolicking in the Fountain Pics...no sewing pictures

Greetings to you!  Today my girls, Audrey & Jamie spent a few hours at the Rose Gardens in Minneapolis, MN.  We saw some beautiful flowers.  Because of the Japanese Beetle infestation I didn't think the roses were all that picturesque.

Hope you enjoy!

ROAD BLOCK

I finally got all my flying geese sewn up but ran into some calculation issues.  My borders and my background piece are not matching in size.   After I do that I will do some quilting before I applique the form of my friends hands onto the background.

 

Here is what I have so far.

This the back of one of the rows.

Yo-Yo's and Flying Geese

I hope life for you is going good.  We are all circus performers as we try to juggle all aspects of our lives and still make time to let our creative selves have expression.

I actually have disciplined myself to make the border of my hand quilt.  I am choosing to try my hand at a multicolored flying geese border.  There is no time like the present to try something new, right?  Also, I  was delighted to try some yo-yo's.  Who knew yo-yo's were like potato chips.  You can't stop at just one.  They are so relaxing, fast and fun to make if you have the yo-yo plastic tool to help you.

I still need to make more flying geese to outline my quilt.  Then I have to decide how I want to joint the four corners.  I'm thinking a solid purple.  I can't believe how my quilt is turning to be more whimsical than spiritual.   I think it's cute nonetheless.

Above is a close-up of flying geese.  Below is a close-up of yo-yo's about the size of a nickel. Some turned out better than others.

A pretty Hibiscus!

My pretty flowers Jamie & Audrey.

Thanks for stopping by.  May your life be blessed with beauty!

Rain Makes Lush Vegetation

Rain has made the vegetation very lush in Minnesota

We have a tiny little park by our house.  The girls are now strong enough to walk the mile from our house around the pond and back.  They can climb rocks...

...and chase geese.

Have nice Friday!
