A very sad day indeed........












Well it was a sad day here at the homestead. In preparing to go on a quick visit to see my mom, we decided to take down the redneck pool.... The professor had to get into the pool to unplug the valve inside the pool. Then after getting out.... he had to dawn his lovely kilt towel.... a special pressie from friends in the UK.
Doesn't he look....Scottish???? I finished up a lovely quilt ....and even tried "McTavishing" or at least my perversion of it. The photos don't show well, but it is pretty in person. I am delivering it tomorrow..... I have also finished another quilt to be sent off...but can't share it...until she has seen it first. Hope you have a great day.... I am off to see a spectacular trunk show tomorrow.... more pics to follow.

That quilt looks gorgoeous.
I imagine the pool will get plenty of more use, looks like a lot of fun was had in it

I clicked on the darker picture of the quilt and could see the quilting nicely. GREAT job! I have been hesitant to try McTavishing, but am planning on trying a new quilting technique each month. It will need to go high on the list! Love those colors...

Your McTavishing looks pretty good to me! I am still not sure what to quilt when and in what order. I see you quilted around your motifs, then did the McTavishing/background. I enlarged the photo and can see it well enough to see it's lovely. 8-)
