A New Escape!

Finally the hunt is over 

and I don't have to talk about abstract numbers anymore!!!! 

 This is my new car-even though I don't like 'crossovers' 

I'm going to drive one now. 

 I hope to fall in love with it.

While Bill was kicking tires, 

I applied binding to the four-patch quilt. 

 I will have the final reveal after washing/drying for you on Monday.

I kept up the pace and loaded the last quilt in the queue! 

 I will have to freehand this one since it has three dimensional places in the center of the bow-tie blocks. 

 It's loaded and ready for me to work on it on Monday, also.

I did do the little bell project on the lathe! 

 It is shaped from a large dowel;

 and has really cool grain lines.

  I need to make about ten more 

before I will work the steps intuitively

 because nothing about it is natural at this point! 

 I can see I need to work on sanding a bit more.

  I will get there and this was encouraging! 

 I wanted this to be an ornament for the Christmas tree 

so I needed an eye hook for the top-

I didn't have one but I did find a tiny one of these 

I bent into an eye shape so I could say it is finished!

And I spotted this beauty on the way out to the mail box! 

 What amazing color in this hibiscus!
