String of Pearls QAL

Christa's Quilt Along
I'm now participating in this quilt-along.  The quilt is called String of Pearls, but I'm using my own fabric:  a Settle print.

Quilts for Grandsons

This quilt is for the new baby, Cole, who's scheduled to be born August 2.    It's blues and greens with a little coral.  The fabric group is "Backyard Baby".




The quilt to the right and below is for Noah.  It's a simple block quilt set on point.  It's 
made with Japanese children's prints.  Ellie had to get in the picture too.

Glass Garden Art

My sister Nancy got me interested in glass garden art using clear dishes. This is what I've collected so far. I'm planning to tint some of the pieces and make glass flowers. I need more plates and toothpick holders so I can make about 5.

Tula Pink Modern Quilt

I may join this modern block quilt-along. The problem is that you need to have the book. I don't want to buy it. The library has it on order and I'm third on the list to get it -- when it comes in. I may be so far behind at that point, that I won't want to participate. They make 3 blocks per week so I'm already getting behind. We'll see.
