It's still raining here...

Just thought I'd let everyone know....it's still raining....it's really, really wet outside and starting to feel pretty damp inside...lol The positives that come with all of this rain are that everything is green and growing (including the weeds), we don't have to run the air conditioning because it's so cool, can't really get out and work in the yard so more time for quilting...lol We did see the sun for about 2 hours yesterday and then it poured.

I haven't been working on anything except the borders to the basket quilt so I'm going to show some pictures of a couple of quilts that I'm going to make from patterns by Darcy Ashton, an Oklahoma pattern designer and quilt maker. Very nice lady and the eyes on her animals are the best.

This picture is of a baby quilt that I think is just so cute. I have everything to make the quilt, but it's one I'm going to make for someday when I have grand kids (not for a long time, I hope).

 

Here's one version of the bunny quilt that Darcy has done.

 

Look at the little details on the bunnies. I've seen this done in large florals (no picture though) and it's just as cute. My friend Sharon really likes the batik backgrounds on this quilt. I love the small blocks in the bunnies and will probably do it in Civil War Repros. Here's a close up of the detail.

 

I'm going to go and try to dry my hair now. We'll see how that goes...remember I told you that it's damp here!
