Happenings #17 In My Studio
I started working on my November Quilt UFO this weekend. This was #6 and these are the batik applique string blocks that I have had finished for a very long time.
Feather & Flair Batik Collection
I thought it would be fun to use my Signature collection of Feather & Flair to remake my Summer Flowers quilt.
Summer Flowers
It took me a bit to pull out my original Summer Flowers quilt. I think it has been folded for way too long and today I am going to wash and dry it.
I’m really anxious to finish putting the sashing on and then way until you see what I picked for the large border!
Summer Flowers Quilt Pattern
Would you believe that I originally made Summer Flowers in 2015! It was one of my first quilts designed with Island Batik fabrics.
Here is the Summer Flowers quilt pattern, I just updated it and as soon as I finish the new quilt I’ll update the cover photo.
I do have a blog post about it with close ups of some of the flowers that I wrote in July, 2016.
Color Challenge Blocks
I have also been adding sashing to my Morning Glory blocks to make them the same size as my Churn Dash quilt blocks.
Several of you liked the idea of mixing both blocks together for my quilt and I liked the idea.
Coyote Behind Our House
Last week one day I was outside with Rusty in the back yard when I spot this coyote back towards the creek. Luckily I had my camera and I took a video at 10x so it is pretty blurry. He stood and watched us for several minutes. Thankfully he looked healthy and I’m glad our backyard is fenced in.
Well, that is all that has been going on in the studio. We have had beautiful weather and I’ve been trying to clean up around the yard. It is wonderful to be outside without a coat in November!

Hi Connie
I’am so jealous of your sewing room. I’m still working on trying to settle in to my new house. I have lots of room to make a sewing room but right now I have so much going on. Winter is around the corner and I have been getting things serviced before hand. So it’s been a little crazy for me. I can’t wait to get back to my quilting. lol
Have a great time sewing!
Cindy
Absolutely gorgeous quilt!
Any chance you own a cattle prod? Something to protect you and Rusty? One day, several years ago, my border collie/Lab mix (he looked like a large border collie) and I were walking and a man reading the meters stopped me and warned about a very viscous boxer roaming the neighbor hood. He had already used his prod to protect himself. Luckily we did not see the boxer. But I have heard if you see one coyote, it means there are several others you can’t see. They roam in packs.
Oh….i love the green fabric with your flowers. The first quilt is beautiful, but there is something so springy about the green. That is a healthy coyote! They are quite a problem here, even with our fenced backyards.
I always loved your original flower string quilt, this one will be as beautiful as the first.
Yikes – hope that coyote has moved on from your neighborhood. I love the applique flower blocks with their string backgrounds. The original quilt is very pretty. Those morning glory blocks will be great mixed with other blocks.
