This and That

 

I'm sewing the green quilt together. Haven't yet found a name that sings for me. This quilt is made of 48 big triangles, so it sews together pretty quick. I do them one pair at a time while I "watch" TV.

I've cut the cord with Comcast. Now I only have internet access and I am happy. I didn't really watch a lot of conventional TV anyway. I have Amazon Prime, Netflix and Discovery. That gives me everything I really want. I may add something later, but for right now I'm pretty happy. I cut my bill down to a hundred bucks, and I bought my own modem and WIFI router, so that saves me an additional $180 per year. I'm a geek, so installing those was not particularly difficult.


The bottom half of the quilt is all sewn together, I am working on the second row from the top. 


I bought the kids a beach tent for Christmas. They love it. My DIL is fair skinned and burns easily, so she is thrilled. It packs up the size of a hula hoop and has a carrying case with a strap. It was a lucky find. You can also see one of my grandmother's quilts. She didn't quilt them, she tied them with crochet cotton. They made excellent beach quilts because they were cool to lie on and easy to clean.

Totally Not Fair!

Look at this positively charming fabric from Alexander Henry. It's part of their Good Earth collection, available here, and I am sure many other places. How come I find fabric like this after I've completed the houses and the top for my Devon Town Quilt? Not fair. I so totally would have had fun with this.
