POD 19

The top book will be 'Hogwarts, A History' and the bottom book is the 'History of Magic'. I've got a lot of embroidery to do.

May - Green Saturday

I've only 2 more to show. Can't quite get into the dark green butterflies. I do like these two tone on tones.

If you'd like to see more dark green blocks, check out the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. You will be glad you did.

Nuther One

I have another to show, and another in the works... (not showing that one)

This is it, I'm afraid.  It is green month, and there aren't green butterflies - maybe that's why I'm not so enthused.
I'm linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge at soscrappy. See you there.

H2H Donation Finished.

Here it is with it's light blue binding...Done!  (Notice the Hubby feet at the side. He likes to model. Oh and I left the picture at this angle because I can keep it bigger and the feet out the side are funnier.  Makes him look magical - doesn't it?)

 Showing a bit of the binding and the backing. The butterflies go with this Kaffe Fassett fabric, I think.  Showing the quilting here, too. I made Xs through the 16 patches and wiggly lines through the Xs. I think it turned out pretty good. I'll try the Good Night Irene setting of 16 patches again. I enjoyed making this quilt. (I used as many interesting fabrics as I could. It's going to Em's Happy Chemo, so I wanted lots of fun squares to look at. There are some bright yellow ones with owls that are talking. One says Wow and another says Good Job, there is a Bravo and a Super, too.)

Sorry this is out of focus, but just another close up. Next time the 16s will be more concentrated color so it won't interfere with the Xs. Live and learn, right? 

So I'm off to share this on Can I get a Whoop Whoop... and probably over at Crazy Mom Quilts, too.  See you tomorrow with a new butterfly - I still have to make one to share.

POD 18

The potion is Felix Felicis... you can tell by the rest of the book that it's about good luck. I don't know if there is such a book on the list, but I wanted to make it.
Now on to butterflies for a few hours.
Thanks for stopping by.

POD 17 and Spring Flowers

This is my interpretation of POD 17... a bag from the Weasley's store and a few magic books. (Hey, aren't all books magical?)

--------------------------------

 

And now the flowers around my house in Vancouver, WA
This is a rose I brought from my house in CA.

I love that it's 2 tone. Inside of the petal is red, and the outside of the same petal is white. It has a tendency to long stems, too. Isn't it beautiful?

These are the Azaleas that were growing here when we arrived. I'd have liked the red colored ones... or those red rhododendrons (rhoddies) they have here. OMG I'll try to find a spot where I can take a picture of one. You won't believe the color!

 

Below is the "wild flower" that grows best in my yard. In CA we call it Loco Weed. It grows like crazy.

And that does it for today. Jennifer has already put out the next POD pattern, and if I have any chance to get it done in time I better get at it.  I want to make some butterflies for Saturday at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, too.  See you then.

Hugs

 

 

Just the One

Did you know the weather got nice here, and I've been out collecting Vitamin D... so all the sewing I did this week is:

I wanted to be represented on the Rainbow Scrap Challenge today. The color is dark green. I got close.

Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your Spring weather - wherever you are.
