Another one bites the dust!

Oh yeah baby, that song is running thru my head.

Another one bit the dust...  Project in Grocery Sack that is.

 

This is Blanket Toss from Mount Redoubt Designs.

It's a re-make from a past pattern, that I made years ago.

 

 

 

The beading on this, was a first for me.

 

 

 

I do love both of them, but the newest one sure has a punch of color.

 

 

There is just something about the bright batiks, that make my heart soar!

 

 

And I always marvel at just how much quilting, adds to a block!

 

 

Kind of make you want to have a snowball fight doesn't it!
With all the weather we have been getting around here, that might be an option for the rest of the year.

Where oh where did our spring go?

 

:-)

 

Although, I have to say, I took a trip with my quiltin sista, last weekend to the Pueblo quilt show, and the weather was marvelous. A real spring weekend.

One of my favorite things to do in Pueblo is take a stroll on the River Walk.

 

Is this just beautiful?

 

 

One would think it's a fabulous quilt, but...

 

 

It's actually a bronze statue.

A tribute to the Lakota Sioux Indian Women.

 

 

 

I have left some of the photos in their full size, so you can see the detail.

It is just stunning how real the beading and fabric looks.

 

I can't imagine how they manage to do this in Bronze.

 

But I can say, it is a fabulous work of art, something I will never achieve with my quilting.

 

Oh sigh, one can dream though!
:-)

 

Whether you love Inuit Alaska Natives, or the Native Lakota women.

They are both incredible tribes of hardy women, who do deserve the recognition!

 

You go girls, hardly seems fitting, but...

What can I say, other than you helped pave the way, for us women today!

Thanks!!
