Wool + Needle III Flannel

I was given a fat eighth pack of Wool + Needle III flannel and challenged to come up with a quilt.  I remembered seeing a pattern in Doug Leko's book "Grand Portage."  I knew it would be perfect, but unfortunately didn't have the book with me at retreat.  I forged ahead, thinking I knew what I was doing.

I was happy with the results, but when I got home and read the book, mine is just a little different.  The pattern is "Main Avenue."  It called for 2 1/2" connectors, and I used 3".  Oh well, just one of lives little twists!

I decided the quilting could be straight lines, echoing the design.  Out came my chalk-o-liner to draw the lines and the quilting was done in record time.

Thanks to Doug for the inspiration!

I haven't finished a lot of my own quilts lately, however, I did get to quilt the one below for Bev.

It's great fun when my friends tell me to quilt what I want.  Thanks Bev.

Now that spring has arrived, I've been out for a few walks with my Postie friends.  This picture was taken walking south of Kamloops in the Pineview area, looking south.  I love getting out and exploring nature.  Unfortunately the ticks are out in full force and I had three hitchhiking on me.  Tick spray is a necessity from here on out.

Thanks for stopping by, have a fabulous Easter Weekend!
