So in the process of going through antique malls and shops with my mother, there have been a couple quilts that caught my eye. It's funny how few quilts there are in such places nowadays!
Snowball isn't an uncommon design, but I loved how the center ones were scrappy and then there were three rows of controlled color border. I think the finished size of the snowballs on this one were about 2 1/2".
A largeish block, but one that could be fun to make in a scrappy assortment
And an applique sailboat design that I'd not ever seen before.
Let's see... what else has been going on? We went to Emerald City Comic Con a couple weeks ago, the first convention Wonderful Husband and I have gone to in what must be close to six years now.
Jazzy and Squiddle held up marvelously, far better than I had expected. Jazzy got an articulated 3D printed dragon, Squiddle a Litten plushie and keychain (each of them spending their own money), Wonderful Husband a dice game, and I found a flight of actually spicy hot sauces from Gindo's.
I am now considering whether or not I (we) also want to attend Norwescon in a couple weeks. There are an awful lot of writing panels I'd like to attend....
In between now and then, Wonderful Husband and I have tickets to see Rent at the Tacoma Little Theatre. Unlike Cats a couple months back, we decided this one is not age-appropriate for Squiddle and Jazzy. The last time we saw Rent was in NYC when he proposed to me!
