We had quite a treat last night;
a surprise downpour while the sun was shining so brightly
which resulted in a rainbow in our own yard--both ends!
It was so bright and lovely!
I've never seen a rainbow with both ends so clearly defined in such a short span!
I finished the pink butterfly quilt and loaded on the Ohio Star kitties and will begin that today!
I do have to bind all of the other quilts
and will post proper pictures when I am completely done with them!
I was digging in the stash for some binding fabric
and instead found these pillow prints and decided to turn them into the real thing!
They are a heavier fabric and gave just the right change in mood for this room!
A zebra...
...leopards, a smaller pillow made of the same fabric as the back of the panel ones and
a pair of elephants and finally,
a lion! They are large pillows, 16" x 20" and stuffed with polyfil.
To prove I am still knitting, I have one finished one sock
and am about ready to begin the gusset in the second.
These are with the yarn, Muse, in colorway, Impulse.
I am liking the yarn so much, I am playing with the idea of knitting a sweater out of it!
INKTOBER drawing of the day for the prompt, teeth.
Of course, I chose some sharks teeth!
These are the most common ones on the Florida beach where I've found them.
It was a good study in using so many grays and browns!
The rainbow is so amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteI did the SAME thing for teeth!!! Of course mine are not as fancy as yours. My mom collected shark's teeth so it was the first thing I thought of.
ReplyDeleteLove those pillows. Dad left some wolf prints in his stash and I was just thinking about them. He had wanted them to be the center of a quilt for The Mister but we never got around to it.
My Mom had a collection of shark teeth. They were scattered on the hillsides on her childhood farm in South Dakota. I always marveled at that. The sock yarn is luscious: it’s easy to see why it would make a great sweater.
ReplyDeletepretty rainbow!
ReplyDeleteYour very own rainbow! How special is that? Love all of the pillows and they're perfect for that room with the matching rug! Of course I really like that sock yarn. So pretty and soft looking.

You are knocking stuff out! I am in a rut, so who knows when I will finish anything! But I did make 2 blocks and a table runner top today, so there is hope. Switching to knitting since I have sewn all I brought south with me.
ReplyDeleteVery cool idea to do the shark teeth . WOw. Did you see the Shark that almost bit a surfer in Australia? it was on my news feed today. Yikes
ReplyDeleteWow to the rainbow!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea shark teeth were so varied!
I’m working on an improv quilt in a controlled colour palette of green, yellow and orange. Fun! Might even post pictures when it comes together!😀
