The dark squares are really a chocolate brown.



It's at Quilting Gallery,

Foto Finish --- Yellow

With a theme of

"YELLOW"

I had a lot of things to choose from this week.

Traffic signs,

stacks of fabric in my stash

or at the quilt store.

A school bus,

or some of the roses in my garden.

In the end,

I decided on this.

A "Spaghetti Squash"!

If you want to see more yellow things,

or share some of your own,

click on over to Cat Patches!

Now you'll have to excuse me,

I need to make some sauce to go with this!

Hearts for Christchurch

Back in February of this year,

there was a magnitude 6.1 earthquake

in Christchurch, New Zealand.

One blogger there,

Evie Harris,

put out a call for hearts.

Not quilts with hearts,

but for small hanging hearts,

that could be stuffed with batting.

And over the months

hearts arrived.

They didn't even need to be 'pre-stuffed',

as she had volunteers to stuff them,

so they would more easily fit into an envelope

to be mailed.

As of August 8th, she had received

4078 hearts

from all over the world.

More are still arriving.

They are currently being displayed

at the Canterbury Museum

in Christchurch.

Evie has posted some photos

of the display on her blog here.

It is an amazing display.

Be sure to check it out.

Foto Finish --- Things On Four Legs

This week our Foto Finish theme is

Things On Four Legs.

This is Ries

(short for Riesling).

She was just a baby here, only a few months old.

She truly is a character!

I was hoping I had a good shot of her sister Possum,

when she was still in her cast,

but they just didn't pop for me.

To see more 4-legged critters,

jump on over to

Cat Patches!

Have a great week.
