Off the wall Friday 5-17

Starting a new project but only have the bare start - It's going to be a zentangle in response to the word hope and I "hope" that I don't screw it up, now that I've said I'm doing it.

I've lightly penciled in a sketch and will outline all in black, then divide up some sections and quilt my little heart out, getting into the "zen" of FMQ ing.

 

I also need to work on some cupcake pincushions to sell at the quilt show in June. They've been sitting here for a month like this.

 

My mom just finished this fishing quilt - 540 pieced pieces! Did I mention she is a bit of a crazy person?

It's gorgeous and precise. She is such an accomplished piecer - great job, mom! Look at all the pebble quilting on the bottom brown part.

And this is all HAND appliquéd and HAND quilted! Yes, people still do that and she does it very, very well.

 

We met today in Vergennes,VT and had a nice lunch in a park with a view of these falls.

Beautiful spot.
