My Quilt for Basics

Needed
some basic  sewing to ease the jitters before I departed on my trip.

Victoria at Bumble Beans had just the pattern and a wonderful home for the finished quilt.



I had stitched,sandwiched,and completed half the diagonal quilting a month ago.
Steady stitching on Thursday and the top was ready to bind.


A view of the pieced back.




Coffee and binding at the ready



Friday attach binding.  I stitched it on the back of the quilt and turned it to the right side attaching with a decorative stitch. No hand stitching here
 I'm way slow.



A cosy quilt for comfort. I know it's cosy because I fell asleep under it while removing the basting pins
SH don't tell.

Basics is a community group helping  people in their own neighborhood.  My quilt for Basics has given me  time to reflect
remember my father
 a gift of self to someone else

Have you got time then help out and share . I'm glad I did.


I'm having a good weekend with the Grandchildren. All of you enjoy your family    Terry

Eye Candy

My muse is dragging me toward an alarming place today. She; or perhaps it's a touch of insomnia has me thinking of dissected linear spaces.

That's the trouble with expanding your horizons you are encouraged to experiment get out of your comfort zone. Maybe if I post some pictures it will be out of my system. You Think? LOL

Eye candy from the double decker bus in Paris 

Warehouse in Paris divided by trees and shutters. It was huge and all urban art.



Circular division of space   Louis XIV's garden. Go figure.



Gingerbread houses. Old style of construction throughout Alsace. More divided space.






Quilts employing a division of linear space. Ouch!  I'm being shoved in a new and maybe scary direction.
O.K. muse I'll see what happens today. Maybe something I want to explore or just get out of my system. either way guess what I'm doing today.
