MARU-GATA KIMMI, et al

  I finished the hand quilting on Maru-Gata Kimmi this morning...

      She is preparing for her Japanese Tea Ceremony (back)

 I just love these tea urns and tea pots.....↕↕↕↕↕

This fabric seemed so perfect for the backing...

***************************************

It is SUPER windy here this morning --

I am not a big fan of that constant sound...

So far, the highest gust up here at

The House on the Hill

was 22 mph...

Steady at 10-15 though...

***********************************

Here ↡↡↡↡ is my 

light blue box for RSC April

Along with some long paper strips from an old phone book..

I wonder what will emerge from these this month?

*********************************

And here are my first three 9" blocks for the KING SIZED 

Courthouse Steps bed quilt--

[Sorry for the darkish pix--very gray and cloudy here today...]

Truth be told

I began just sewing them willy-nilly together and they all

came out differing sizes (DUH!!)

So I have begun finishing those off onto the 9"

muslin squares adding strips

as needed...

a true Improv 

I am finding it hard to find old-fashioned or 

vintage looking florals and tone on tone

fabrics for this project...but, 

I think some tone on tone batiks look okay though...

{See the last white-ish strips above}

Anyway--fun figuring out for sure...

Hoping you are staying safe (at home) and strong
