A Friend of a Friend

Two weeks ago, just before I left on vacation, I arrived home from work to a package... addressed to ME! 

Here's the story, Judy at Wild Irish Rows quilted my Dia de los Muertos Quilt.  When Judy sent the quilt back (have I mentioned, it's FANTASTIC) she asked if I had a little bit of one of the skeleton fabrics for a friend.  Of course I did, so I sent it off along with a few other "skeleton" scraps from Dia de los Muertos.  And the friend sent me back a package of fabric that I did not have!!!

With a hand made card, isn't it perfect.  All from Opal Cocke at here2thereart.com

And here's the goods!

And my fav...

You just gotta love skeletons w/flying geese!

Update on Dia de los Muertos, I am hung up looking for just the "right" binding, should have a finish soon!

Dia de los Muertos

Ok, the project that would never end...  (do you ever feel that way about a quilt?) is done, at least the top!    I finished the borders this morning in time to run outside in the sunshine and take a few photos. Here we go:

Sugar Skull Border - I love a wild and bright border.



Here's some close-ups.

I will probably add some more flower/skull embellishments, but for the most part DONE!   So moving right along to the next project, whatever that may be.  Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

Happy Nevada Day!

Just in case you were wondering, today is Nevada Day,  and a HOLIDAY here, YAY!  Of course that means plenty of stitching time.  I'm working on my skeltetons quilt...

Wonky Houses

This panel was gifted to me from my blog buddy Stephanie .   Somehow this will be in the quilt as well.  Also cutting into these stashes ...

Happy Nevada Day.
