What I did on my (February) vacation

I bought a bag of purple strips at a Block Party Quilt show a couple of years ago.  During my vacation to Maui, I sewed the strips together to make 6.5" squares.  The strips were of varying widths (approx 1 inch to 2.25 inch).  I found this excellent Kaffe Fassett orange floral with purple plums at Quilting Loft near my house.  The center is 42" x 48".  I want to add a purple floral as the border. 

Jenny, Michelle, Frank and I had a SUPER time whale watching off of Maui. 

With a little help from my friends?

Well, courtesy of Hurricane Sandy, I had two extra days to get some things done at home. Unfortunately Oliver, Declan's new playmate, has a different idea of what 'helpful' means than I do.

As you can see in the last picture, I was able to complete 28 pillow cases for my mom's church bazaar. Hopefully they arrived in today's mail (since the bazaar is tomorrow. He's a cutie (very good thing) and he hugs which is lovely!

Table runner using printed panel

Hi everyone.  This is a "Stonehenge" printed panel that I found on sale at Undercover Quilts at Pike Place Market last Friday.  I used a batting scrap and machine quilted it over a couple of evenings.  I think it came out pretty well, so I bought another panel.  I am going to give the first one to my sister for her vacation house in Idaho.
