I finished my
Make It Right challenge quilt, in the nick of time (11:00 p.m., 1 hour before it was due.) Unfortunately, the pictures looked like it was 0'dark thirty and somewhat uninspired. So yesterday, even though it was a bit overcast, I took some pictures outside..
The winner is chosen by how many "likes" and "pins" from the
Art Gallery Fabrics "Make It Right" board on Pinterest. While I don't think I have a shot at winning, I don't really want to be "skunked" with hardly any likes or pins. Sadly, I currently only have 4 repins and 8 likes.
Click here to see the Pinterest Board (you must have a Pinterest account). I'm pathetically asking for your "like".
I also started back up on my
Layers Quilt. All nine blocks together (untrimmed), ready to sandwich and quilt. This will be a Q
AYG project using the technique here. I'm hoping that this will turn out to be a very special and meaningful quilt.

| Stratified Layers of Earth - Do you see my inspiration? |
My stepdaughter is a Special Ed teacher in a residential program for troubled youths. She asked me to hem a pair of suit pants for one of her students that is graduating from the program. I don't normally like to do work on clothing, but I really felt that this was a good cause. So I broke out my blind hem foot for the first time ever.
Strange little foot and a bit of a puzzle to figure out how to fold the material correctly, but oh so much easier to do than hand stitching. I think it turned out pretty good.
Since I spent so much time on my garden this spring, I thought you might like a couple of pictures in bloom.
