Kool Kaleidoscope - Ricky Tims

I started a class on Saturday - Kool Kaleidoscope by Ricky Tims.

1st strata

This is my first strata. (strip set)

2nd strata

 

 

This is my 2nd strata. (strip set)

The pattern calls for 10 strip sets - two of each.  I have 3 done.  Next class is not until July so I have lots of time and am thankful for that.

This class is lots of fun and a bit of a challenge.  Hope my colour scheme works out in the end.

Lets Eat Cake

Best Birthday Cake Ever

My birthday was yesterday so my son and his girlfriend made me this cake with a beautiful quilt on the top.  As you can see I am a cat person so they had to put cats around it.  Best birthday cake ever.

Besides the cake, they cooked a wonderful meal and I got a gift card from my favourite quilt shop.

Life is good no make that great.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and Happy Mother's Day to all.

Mystery Quilt - 2014

This is the front of the 2014 xmas mystery quilt I did over 4 days.  I posted a picture with the blocks not sewn just up on my design wall back in January.  It is now quilted and ready to be used.

This is the back.  I didn't have enough of the one fabric so I used some of the left over strips used in the front.  Wish I had a better picture of the quilting.  Quilting was done by my friend Gwen and it was done using  King Tut # 994 variegated quilting thread.  The variegated thread shows up so well on the dark back.
