Here Fishy Fishy Fishy…

This past Saturday Queenie attended Sharon Schamber’s NewYork Beauty workshop.  It was sponsored by the Phoenix Modern Quilt Guild.  Boy, oh boy, was it fun!!!  This is my finished block.

Sharon’s Piec-lique technique makes complex and curved piecing very approachable. So much so the next day I adventured (as Queenie has been known to do) with this newly learned technique and created this fun little wonky dice block.

I will definitely keep this technique in my bag of tricks going forward!!!

Here is a sneak peak of the Queenie Mother’s quilt I quilted with Sir Owen the Innova.  I will do a whole post on this beauty later this month.  The Queenie Mother has named it “Arabian Nights” - a fine name indeed.

Next up on Sir Owen is the Queenie Mother’s Blue Birds quilt.

 I’m experimenting with some abstract Queen Anne’s Lace in the boarders…

And foaming surf in the multi-purple squares.

Here's a shot from the back of the quilt... 

I took this shot from underneath Sir Owen and the machine’s light from the other side is glowing through… A little pre-Halloween vibe in the studio. (insert Bwahahaha)

 

Whilst composing this post Queenie drew a complete blank regarding a title. So, I took this wee snap…  

… and there you have it, Fishy-s!

Until next time.

Have a great day!

Life’s a Beach

Travel time to California was the name of the game last week to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday with Honey Man’s family.   A good time was had by young and old alike at the beach

The beach at Carlsbad to be exact. A darling beach community.

On Friday Queenie and Honey Man traveled inland for a wee adventure.  First up Queenie, bedecked in power shopping pink got her fabric fix at Quilt In A Day. I’m a long time fan of quilter extraordinaire, Eleanor Burns and was tickled pink to visit one of her shops.  

Next up we headed to Buffalo Brothers where Honey Man window shopped till he dropped playing all sorts of mandolins and guitars he’s been eyeing for a while.

Growing up in beautiful Ohio winter holidays were spent with family and friends, bundled up in warm winter clothes and for the most part indoors.  The change to a cooler season ushering in the holiday seasons. 

This was Queenie’s first holiday spent staying at a beach. I must say shorts and flip flops are also a lovely way to usher in the holiday season!!!

Until next time…    

Have a great day!
