Optical Illusion

Doesn't this look like smoke coming out of these trees?  Lucky for us, it is just a cloud formation.

Good Things Come...

to those who persevere!  Here are two ladies with proof!

Joanne finished Bliss Doubled recently.  The center is all hand pieced and appliqued.  Don't you love the border stripe!  Absolutely stunning, Joanne!

And Judy E (you can just see her lovely hair above the quilt) finished Monthly Bliss 3.  The blocks are all hand pieced.  Check out those points!  That's Karen H standing at the left--she's our "Quilt Vanna"!  Soft, serene, breathtaking...ahhhh, it's a beautiful quilt.  

I am so proud of these ladies.  Have pictures of your Sharon Stroud projects, flimsies or finished?  I'd love to share them here.  

Happy November!  Just regular rain today.

Catching Up a Bit

Back in September, we met again to do a skill-builder class at Patchwork Plus.  This time it was the Acrobats block with quarter-square triangle units and squares.  It's not easy to keep all those points sharp, but these gals did an excellent job!

Here's the official portrait.

Pat A, Gale, Sharon N

And the candid!  (Gale bet me I wouldn't put it on the blog.)

There was a bit of white rain this morning....
