52 Photos Project: Layers/Stacks

Our prompt this week for

the 52 Photos Project

is

Layers/Stacks.

 

This is what came to my mind

immediately:

 

 

 

I think that stacked stone walls are so beautiful.

And the thought of the care and artistry

that went into the making of the wall

is inspiring.

This wall is in the historic gold mining town of Downieville,

in the Sierra mountains of California.

 

Enjoy some more stacks & layers in the gallery.

I've never seen the inside of a cactus before,

have you?

52 Photos Project: Red, White, Blue

I couldn't pick just one color.

Our prompt for this week of the 52 Photos Project is

Red, White, Blue.

I could have picked any one of the colors,

but I remembered that my friends Juline & Tom

always participate in their town's

patriotic decorated home contest.

I wish there wasn't such a glare today,

but there you have it.

Congratulations on your 3rd place award Tom & Juline!!

See more great photos in the gallery.

Happy Independence Day!

June NewFOs!

Hooray - I have some things to share this time!

First, I did a bunch of binding, that will go onto the blue & white quilt that is currently with the long-armer.

Next, I made some cloth napkins & napkin rings from buttons.  The napkins are 2 layers of really soft flannel.

This next block will become a throw pillow cover soon.

I used one block from the Generation Q Magazine

Playdate paper pieced pattern, 

"Extra Olives, Please" by Robin Koehler.

It's been a while since I've done any paper piecing, but once I got into the swing, it went pretty quickly.

I'm going to add a border of the blue to finish it off.

And last, but not least, I've been doing some

free-piecing with my scraps.

This one will end up with a dish towel on the back

to be used as a dish drainer on the counter.

I'm linking up to Cat Patches' June NewFO linky party!

Stay cool!
