  Autumn in the Bellagio




   Shopping.......




   Just "clowning around"




  Ahhhh one of our favorite spots for dining.


   



   The Venetian shoppes.

Seeing Starz

Making some wonky stars to put into a charity quilt for QuiltCon. These are what I have so far.....


        This one was paperpieced.
          Not my fav technique, 
            but I like the star.





      And today these were born




   And a couple of 9 1/2 " ones

Another Flimsy Finish

I have been working on this quilt a long time. And so now finally the top is done!


This is a shot of the blocks all assembled



Then the two borders were added.




Tumalo Trails is finally a flimsy!
From Bonnie Hunters book / Scraps & Shirttails II



And I love it!

Even made some words to put on the back.


Now on to piecing the back.....
