A Great Deal!



I finished my circle quilt (I don't have a name for this one yet) and used a panto design called Raindrops.  It seemed appropriate for all the rain we are getting.  This afternoon I had a window of about 15 minutes of blue sky to take a few pictures.



It has a spot hanging in my Shack for now, I'm not sure how long it will stay there as I might have other plans for it.
The Raindrops panto was a free one off Lisa Calle's website, here is the link.  I just printed it out 18 times and taped together in two rows to make this size of a panto.


I have more exciting news today.  Do you remember the photos my husband took of the Northern Lights this winter, well our neighbor Ron is a wonderful painter and he made an oil painting of Tim's picture. Well I saw the painting for the first time today and just fell in love with it.  Ron was more than happy to make a deal with me on it.  It is so great to have a painting by Ron and one that has personal meaning to us. 

I LOVE IT!!!


 I found the perfect spot.  And I'm sure Ron's wife Raye will be very happy with the deal we struck....yes she is a quilter and a regular client of mine!  :)

    Great panto for your quilt! Very wet here in Cooks Creek too! Maybe you should name your quilt, "Rain Drops Are Falling On My Head". Lol! I do remember the northern lights photos, they are spectacular and the painting is amazing. Enjoy!
