75 yds dyed. It takes me awhile to do this, I have to boil water to add to the washing machine, but at least I have one. I love the greys and am thinking of useing them in another This N That quilt.
Here is my latest creation, its 62" x 58" I like it as a simple study, it has given me an idea for a much more complex piece that I hope to start on tomorrow!

I usualy have a week before I have a new idea but now I want to do 2 quilts right away!!! Can I manage to work on two pieces at the same time?

I named this Metropolis

Working with two colors is not easy but I think this works. Im going to leave it as a single its 42 x 42 Ill have my quilter use a black and white verigated thread and do it in a grid, at least I think thas what Ill have her do.


Im feeling the need for a change big time, so the easiest thing for me to change right now is my quilting so Im stepping away from the series and the bulls eye!!! We will see what develops!

We had another storm here a few days ago, heavy rains and wild winds, my roof stayed on but leaked a lot. I went to the market and these are photos of the area. The river floods every November but I am always amazed by it. I need to get some rubber boots!

I love the bulls eyes because its instant gratification!!!

Ive dyed fabric for the next bulls eye, and I hope to start on it today but its rainy and gloomy and it might take a few days for the fabric to dry...,.

Ok here is the newest in the This N That series, and maybe the last.

I have had a few comments that say my work is too Nancy Crow, Im not sure I see it in this group but then again I might be a little to close.

I am going to do more of the bulls eyes, I love them!

Keep the comments coming please!

Its been an interesting few weeks, we had quite the typhoon here, part of my roof blew off and no power for 5 days, at the same time I got Dengue fever which is brought on by a mosquito bite!!!! Everything is fine now but there is another typhoon looming....

I am sewing together the next in the This n That series and will post it when done but I wanted to show you this wonderful woman, she sells coconut in the market and I just love the way she looks!

Mouse as a triangle.... her little face just pushed into the arm of the couch! Such a nut!

This is my living room and it fits perfectly on the wall and with the couch! I cant stop looking at it. Its 160" x 40"

If you click on it you can see that its quilted in a grid pattern.

In between the big pieces I like to make these! They are quick and fun. Im not sure if I will put them together or quilt them separately I just know I will be making lots of them!

Now I need to think about my next in the This N That series!!!
