Borders finished and more

I finished the borders on the Wave Runner quilt tonight.  It has cooled off, so hopefully I can get a little quilting done this week too. 

In the mean time, I also made another bowl.  I started this one right after I finished my autumn leaf bowl.  This confetti bowl had to be done in layers, so I added a little each day. 

 This time I was a little smarter and taped my balloon to the empty jar.

I haven't decided whether or not to trim the edge of the bowl.  

The one I saw on Pinterest was trimmed, but I'm liking this free form edge.

I also did a little experiment with another photo transfer.  I started with some wooden sticks.  

I taped the sticks together on the back side and did the transfer just like the last one I did.

I made one in pink.

and one in purple.

My daughter helped me cut them apart.  I've been playing with how I want to arrange the pieces.  

Once I figure that out they will need to have the final finishing coat added for protection. 

 The color is more vibrant after the final coat is added.

Have a creative day

Wave Runner by Marlous Designs

Today's Phd (Project half done) is brought to you by Quilt Cove in Eagan, Minnesota.  I purchased this kit while on the Twin Cities shop hop and began piecing on a retreat with Minnesota Contemporary Quilters.  Came home from the retreat and left the quilt in the bag.  Oops!

It's really quick and easy.  You make straight blocks.  Cut them in a wonky design, and put them back together.  That's what quilters do best, take big pieces of fabric, cut it into small pieces of fabric and make a different big piece of fabric.

I just need to add the borders yet and than this one will move to the pile of quilts to be quilted.  It is too hot for quilting with my long arm right now.  My light bar above the machine is full of lights which add to the heat in the house.  With the heat index over one hundred every day right now...well, it's just not going to happen.  (The photo looks as though the whole quilt is wonky, but that is just my poor photography)

Next up is another Pinterest project.  I needed to stop and do something a little bit artsy.

Have a Creative Day
