It's only a flimsy, but this was one of the projects I managed to get pieced when I wasn't out playing in the fall sunshine! Halloween time is my favorite time of the year, and this will be going on my long arm as soon as I get home.
Don't you just love the fabric?? It's such a cute whimsical print. Only to be outdone by the fact that I found it at Wooden Spools, where they sell fabrics leftover from someones stash, at half the regular price. If you live in the Denver area, check them out.Nothing beats a bargain and an adorable fabric right? :-)The pattern for this is "Times 3", from Mountain Peek Creations. Check out the "Just Can't Cut it" tab. FAST and easy. It's a great pattern for those prints, that are so dear to your heart!
On an Alaska update, I am convinced that all the animals in the state ran and hide the moment they heard I was coming for a visit! :-( :-(
As of date, 2 weeks here, I have seen only 4 eagles, and 1 moose that was parked in the yard when we got home from Anchorage at 1am. No photo op there, unfortunately. It was just too darn dark. But on a walk this morning not 100 foot from the back door I saw these moose tracks. And yes, I knew we had a moose, but this one below stopped me dead in my tracks!
I believe that would be a bear track. While I am a city girl and have no idea just how old it is, I chose to cut my little walk a little shorter today. No sense in taking chances, since they are packing on the pounds preparing for hibernation. With my extra pounds, I didn't want to look like a juicy pork chop for any bear OK!! Call me a wimp, I am good with it!And by the way it was as big as my foot, so I doubt it was a lost baby bear!
:-)
The weather is definitely changing, it was 37 the night before last, and there is a very real chill in the air today. I hope that I have not missed the best photo op for the fall colors, but fear I have. The high peaks on the mountains have now got their first dusting of snow, and they say that means 2 weeks and it will be on the ground here in town. Burr!!
I like that pattern idea. It works so well with just the one fabric plus the sashing. I do agree that the fabric is gorgeous and the fact that you got it cheap is an extra bonus.
ReplyDeleteI checked out the link and there are some great pattern ideas there. Thanks.
Now those animal tracks are a little disconcerting. I would have no desire to meet up with either of them, day or night!
Stay inside and sew - it's safer!
