I'm back....

I'm back from a relaxing few days by Lake Erie. Although I didn't go out onto the lake, I enjoyed looking at it from the shoreline. Hubby went fishing on Friday and caught a nice bunch of perch. I sewed Friday...so nice and quiet and relaxing. This is where I sat on the porch. I really liked doing it on the picnic table...the seat is high and I "slid" from side to side sewing and pressing. Granted, I didn't have a back on the seat, but I took enough breaks that I didn't notice any back soreness.
And this is what I wound up by creating. I had cut everything a while ago and really went out of my comfort zone in choosing all of the bright colors with different motifs on each one. The background fabric is fairies and sort of busy, so I didn't know how all of these patterns would work together. I really like the look of this quilt and am very happy with it. There is one more row to make and then stitch all together. It was a simple pattern for this newbie! I don't know if I will add borders or not...this quilt will be "one granddaughter done". Then only 7 more to make so each grandchild will have one.

I had to include this picture of a beauty shop near the lake because it is my youngest grandson's name.....so cute! And this is how the day ended each evening.....with a gorgeous sunset! (we only had rain on one of the days....the day we left to come home!)
