It's the never ending quilt top

This was a free block of the month project that was so much fun to do that I kept up with it faithfully every month and got them done in a timely manner for a change.  I even kept on task and pieced it all together soon after the blocks were done.  Then came the border.  I used a dark blue and just wasn't super happy with it. You can check it out here. So it sat around.  I moved it from one place to another telling myself I need to get it quilted. I finally decided that after going to all that work with the embroidery I needed to be really happy with it so I cut the wide dark blue border off and make it 3/4 inch wide (yes I know that's weird but that's how I roll).  Then I added a lighter border and I like it much better now.
You haven't seen the end of the never ending quilt top, I'll show it again when it is quilted, bound and hanging on my wall.

Fun with Jars


I love to use jars for storage.  They are cheap (these are just from products I buy from the grocery store) they are airtight, and some are interesting shapes.
 The blue ones I painted and glued on a washer and button. The green one was plain green so I left it and glued on an owl bead. What glue do you use, I can hear you asking.
I love this glue, it's great for almost anything.
