have a spool of aurifil's variegated orange/yellow thread that might be just the ticket...except for the gray design that'll get quilted with white probably. and even though i *thought* i had plenty of orange scraps, might have to actually shop for some...but will do my best to avoid any retail acquisitions if i can. *** spent most of today on the QOV trying for a september finish and i just might make it. eager to move on to something else that 1) isn't orange and 2) isn't patriotic....i did work a bit today on a repro UFO just for a change of pace. *** summer has returned to maryland with very warm days and nice, cool nights....tipping over into 90s for the weekend. *** lastly, so very thankful no storms came near us and my family who met Irma all got thru safely.
Oh, Grace, it's delicious!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. Love the orange. Looking forward to seeing it finished :)
ReplyDeleteGlad your family members are all safe! Oh, the 90s are way too hot this time of year. We are way below normal in the 40s.
ReplyDeleteAre you willing to let me send you some orange scraps now? :)
nope....not yet...but thanks
DeleteI really like how you used the blue blocks to break it up a little. It makes the pattern more visible. This is turning out so cute!
ReplyDeletethanks...they are gray...lol
DeleteI can see why you like this! It is wonderful!! I don't think I ever told you this but a few years ago my name got selected by you to win a pair of terrific scissors. I gave them to a friend of mine who is almost a Little Person. She has the shortest fingers! The scissors were so perfect for her. When I got them in the mail I knew I had to give them to her. I so wanted to keep them, but my better self won out. So thank you again for that drawing, This friend could never have purchased them for herself because of her very modest means so you really blessed her life.
ReplyDeleteyou have made my day...how heartwarming to me to have made a difference in somebody's life...and thank you for being the facilitator. i really am a nobody and happy to be so, but God uses ordinary nobodies to do wondrous things!
