I finally had a chance to take a pic of the quilt top I had finished last week. The kit I bought from a vendor at the International Quilt Show in Chicago was called Ocean Waves. But I retitled it "Rocky Mountain Ocean Waves" because it is made from the Rocky Mountain collection. As you can see this pic does the quilt no justice. The border will be a dark brown print that is from that fabric collection.
This week end I started on quilt top or wallhanging, depends on how much I want to keep sewing on it. Here are only nine blocks of it. They went together quite well. My husband says it is too busy looking. I will have to have a talk with him.Renovations are going slow. We painted some more this weekend. But we still have a bit more to do. My husband finished up the foyer floor this weekend. It has porcelain tile with wood inlay. Nice. Once the haze is gone I will post a pic of it.
All for today.

Thanks for sharing your quilts. I'll add your blog to my list of regular reads.
I so agree with you about teaching the younger generation. If we don't who will pass these skills along. I've vowed to teach my granddaughter just as my grandmother taught me. She's 7 now and loves to run the sewing machine for me but has little patience for piecing and sewing by hand. But at least she tries (for five minutes at a time). :)
I hope you do have a talk with your husband, I think it is beautiful. On the other hand, it sounds like he is working hard on your home, so needs gentle treatment, lol.
