I made Tula Pink's City Sampler block 45--once,
twice, three times before I got it right. Funny thing is I grabbed four leftover hst's and just threw them together...then realized it was wrong, so I "fixed" it. Sigh, almost left it, but it was bugging me so now it matches the picture.Thankfully block 46 was a bit easier, haha! Linling up with the folks over at Chooseyourownblockalong!
I have been listening to "We are Water" and so far the female character is annoying me. Not sure I will finish it.
Kathy and I went to a new place--in Scottsdale for our hike today. Brown's Mountain. Really nice area with great paths not as rocky or hike like but beautiful and well marked trails and a free paper map to keep us set. Even with all that we took a longer path than we meant to and did about three and a half miles. It was a bit much since we are still recovering from last Thursday's hike!
I spent some time today reorganizing in the quilting studio. I went through the thread and resorted things by type and color--over time they just wind up mixed together! I also cleared two drawers so that I could put tiny fabric pieces in the drawers--one for darks and one for lights. This will make Wild and Goosey blocks so much easier!
I finally got the Eye Spy blocks into a top and made a backing for it. I also made a backing for Moth in the Window so I can get it to Ros.
Not sure what I should sew next! I am sure I will find something :)

Fun I-spy quilt. Your hiking location looks amazing, and of course, ....... DRY. A contrast with my hike yesterday - in part through squishy mud!
Much more scenery for your hikes than my walks. I think I need to hit the trail head by my house for a change up some day. Great spy quilt and too funny on the blocks. I hate when that happens.
Those TP blocks are tricky--it took me 3 tries to get my first one (and an easier one at that) right. Sort of...lol. I would love to see the desert out there--looks so inviting to me--today we are all hunkered down awaiting this behemoth of a snowstorm on its way up the Coast to us. Supposed to get 24" - 36" with 60 mph winds--in a blizzard warning! DH went out to get xtra gas, beer and chips--that should do it--right? hahaha hugs from the "Icey North" Julierose
Great eye spy quilt. WTG on another hike.
Third time is the charm, right? Love the Eye Spy!
I make mistakes like that all the time. I think that maybe why we all have five different seam rippers. I love watching the pics of your hikes. I haven't gotten out yet this year but am looking forward to it.
