Phew! A Finish

 The only thing for certain

is there will be plenty of curve balls

for the remainder of 2020,

so when you have a quilt finish

 it's reason to celebrate.

"Social Distancing"

2020

"The Lewis Coverlet", 

pattern by Susan Smith

I started this quilt over a year ago 

as a BOM from 

Homestead Hearth quilt shop.

I thought it would be fun to receive 

a bundle of fabric each month to

make this delightful medallion.  

It is the perfect size to be a topper.

73" x 73"

The applique was done the 

needle turn method and the

stripe fabric made fun stems.

Even these squares were appliqued 

rather than constructed as a pieced border.

I had my LMQ, Kathy, 

quilt a variation of a clam shell design overall.

 The quilting needed to be as light

as the quilt design. 

Karen, of Log Cabin Quilter,

is also working on this quilt.

Take a look at how she's putting 

her fabrics together.  

Running Man and I left home for a few days.

We went to Manitou Springs 

to the west of Colorado Springs.

It was nice to escape the smoke and ash

of the fire still burning west of Fort Collins.

We stayed at the lovely historic hotel

The Cliff House.

tucked in the mountains

at the base of Pikes Peak.

Enjoying the change of scenery

and having a quilt finish

was just what I needed.

Hopefully,  you've recently had a

 reason to celebrate too.

Until Next Time-

Kyle
