It has been a productive week in the quilt studio.
The 4th quilt top in my series of 4 using the Hurty ruler designed by Latifah Saafir is done. AND, the math on the final border MATHED. I’m calling it “Gradations.”
The backing should come in the mail today. But I have to quilt the quilt presently on the longarm, the yet as unnamed “Scrap Cabin” from Rachel Hauser’s recent online sewalong.
Grandmother duties took me over to Bryan and Corinne’s, where I got a picture of the white camellia now blooming in front of their house. I think a white camellia is in my future. Their pink camellia has been blooming for some time now.
One of our new neighbors stopped by with a little gift for me. They bought a house here some months ago and are exploring this region.
This new neighbor’s mother sews quilts, and my neighbor follows my blog. She made the covering for this mug using a Cricket machine. That’s new technology for me. I can’t even…
What a sweet and thoughtful gift!
It is bright and sunny and cold here, after a big storm front went through earlier this week–significant enough so that they closed the schools. But we got some much-needed rain and escaped the possibility of tornadoes. There have been big fires north and west of us as the state is–or was–very dry. BIG fires.
Have a great weekend everyone!

I love this post Louisa! Your design wall is always so much fun and full of inspiration!!!
We of course are still blanketed in snow and won’t see any blooms here for months…I will hopefully see some sooner than later though!
What a wonderful neighbour and thoughtful gift that cup is 😊
So happy to hear that you had rain and escaped tornadoes and the fires.
Gradations is beautiful! Love the fabrics used. I don’t think I could pull this one off – it involves “math”, ugh! The camellia is so pretty, I wish we could grow them here. I guess you can but inside and I’m not sure how happy it would be. I do have a hibiscus that blooms for me though. So glad that you had rain, those fires are terrible. Our four inches of snow disappeared overnight when we had a very warm rainy night recently. So funny to wake up to green grass after seeing all that snow for so long. My daffodils on the south side of the house are up around five inches! Won’t be long before they’re blooming!
I love those big half rectangle triangles. Makes me want to get out my ruler (mine is the Tucker one, but of course it does the same thing).
