Looks simple doesn't it but those pesky triangles can be difficult to perfect.
Have a good look at this page to see for yourself how to make half square triangles the easy way. Sew and Slice. LOL
This one was just too cute and simple to pass up. We all need a wise old owl to help us along with the day.
Rainbow strip and flip quilt tutorial.
There you go , a a good number of sites to peruse. They all look interesting to me and so I hope to you.
Jim left today at noon , then I had a shower and we went out a bit after 1:00 . We had to take some money to the bank for deposit and get some out for spending. The reason we have to do two things is we needed some smaller bills to spend. We had the money that Jim gave us, $100 bills to finish paying for Big Red and those bills were too big to spend. Lots of places don't like to take a bill that big , because they don't have enough change. So we opted for $20 bills. There the big financial transaction of the day.
After the bank we sashayed up to Metrotown for a coffee from Tim Hortons. I had three Timbits and Ray had a toasted cheese bagel.
We had to go to the bakery for bread and Ray wanted to go to the knife store. He bought a new paring knife as his had somehow disappeared. It probably got caught up in something the went into
the garbage. Anyway he has a nice new Henkels knife. For Ray to get a knife or a tool is like quilters getting a new pair of scissors, makes us warm all over. I think it is time for me to get some"warm all over" soon LOL.
We came home and Marg called to say she had a book for me and she wanted to come over to give it to me. Thank you dear sister , you are keeping me in reading material. I will be taking your library book back this weekend. I have read it but want to finish my last library book so I don't have to go up to the library twice.
Special quilt for a special season. It looks to me like a flannel quilt , warm and cozy for those October moments. Could be for November too if you want to stretch it a bit.
Black Dragon Rose. A new type of rose. Amazing!! Ray and I had a lovely rose garden in the 0s when we had the house. One whole portion of the yard was given over to a number of varieties of roses. We had 60 different kinds, all gorgeous. But this one is stunning. Too bad we don't have a back yard nor the energy to look after it. We don't need a house though LOL.
A whimsical little quilt, fun to hang on your wall. I love the ant with the piece he has bitten out of the watermelon. Aha I got it he is saying. The colours of this quilt are very well chosen.That's what cats think , now let's hear it from the other side LOL>
I am done for the night folks.
Have a lovely evening.
Bon soir!
