Fig & Plum SPOOLS quilt a finish ...

Another SPOOLS quilt done and ready for the quilter ! Now I have 2  SPOOLS quilts done  :-D

I made this quilt out of  1 older Fig & Plum Fig Tree fabric charm pack I had and Kona Bone for the background fabric.  The Spools top & bottoms are also made from a Fig Tree fabric  California girl !

Here is the other SPOOLS  quilt I finished a few days ago.........

                 This one is made of French Generals new line of fabric Petite Odile.
How appropriate that this fabric been used for a SPOOLS quilt ! 

How different they both look ! 

Hope you had a great weekend , I know I did SEWING of course ;-)

August Calendar Girl Redwork Block

August 1st ALREADY !

My August Calendar Girl Redwork block is just adorable with her shovel and bucket playing on the beach.

My favorite to do is walking the beach looking for seashells & sea glass !!There is just something about the ocean with the sound of the waves.  Just so relaxing !

Happy August 1st everyone !
