One more off the Bucket List

Overall my Bucket List isn't very long but it's still exciting when you get to cross something off.  
I've always loved quilts.  There's just something so comforting about them to me.   The whole process seems so mysterious and technical I really never thought I would be saying " I made a quilt".    Taa Dahh....
From start to finish.  I didn't abandon it part way through (which I sometimes do).  I love the colors. So summery and fresh.  This one will stay with me because I made a few mistakes - I didn't square up the centre before I started adding the border.  But in my defence, I didn't know I was supposed to.  So it's a little wonky and that led to a few puckers.  And my first corner is not pretty but each one got better as I went around.  And I didn't quilt all the way to the ends.  But I still love it.   I discovered quilting stencils this weekend so I'm excited to try those for my next project.    Our snow is quickly disappearing   Last weeks weather was very mild.  Loving that!  And this coming week has temps on the plus side too.  We are still a long way from tulips and robins but we are closer to Spring than we have winter left.  I'm looking forward to relaxing tonight and watch the Oscars.  Not because I care who wins, I have much less noble reasons for watching.  I watch for the mocking.  I know it's stupid and immature but I like seeing the ugly dresses and watching someone do something stupid.   Just to get in the mood, here's a few of my favorite bad dresses

A bird dress.......really?

She should fire her stylist

Dominatrix Ballerina........NO

Ahh, excuse me Drew......you forgot your BRA

This is just a HOT MESS

 

 .Have a great week

  1. WOW! Bravo, your first quilt is a winner. Love love those nice colors.

    OMG, Kim... a good reason to watch the Oscars. Those dressed would all go in my big green trash bin on wheels and I could not wait for garbage day to arrive. lol

    Our snow is going down fast too. I hope we don't get flooding though.
    Hugs, Julia

  2. I think your quilt looks just perfect!
    OMG! Those dresses are hideous. Don't they look in the mirror?
    Happy quilting 😊

  5. I think you did such a nice job with the quilt. I love the colors too. I do miss the mocking. Emilie and I would have such fun. Ron just shakes his head in disbelief so no mocking for me. It was my highlight though. I shall think of you. Mock away!

    I'll be honest, some of those dresses are just a wee bit scary. I know that I'm not a fashionista...but...NO, just NO! LOL
