Candles, Houses and Crayons, oh my!


day of play...
I had all these cute little tiny triangles laying here from the Paula Prass blocks,


and also this great polka dot in a funny yellow color that I just love from Bari J...

Since I've been thinking about the BIG 4 0 coming up... I had candles on my brain..
so I made 40 of them.. except they don't look like candles...
Houses, yes, crayons, yes, Picket fence to my daughter, yes, and candles... ;-)
Oh well, I like it just the same...
But I thought that would be a good name for it...

Candles, Houses and Crayons

It was mostly a reason to play with some machine quilting... keep practicing,
it's the only way you get better...
so I did a bunch of things I hadn't tried before...



Just a little treat for me...


Stay tuned... there may be a another post later today

    Can you believe how far your machine quilting has come in such a short time? I love when you mix it with some hand quilting--I'm gonna try that! Your house blocks will be on their way shortly--just have a couple more to put together!

    Your machine quilting looks fabulous! And of course your candles look exactly like candles, once you told me they were candles. Happy Birthday to you, from you! Looks great! Happy sewing!

    I'm thinking this is looking like a birthday quilt so I will wish you a Happy Birthday! 40s are great! I'm going to enjoy my last couple of days in them!

    Love the polka dot backing and your machine quilting looks so good!
