Hi there. I'm Bonni and I write things on this Blog when I remember.
Terrible of me isn't it? I've been so busy that I hadn't noticed time that was flying by. I mean yes, I noticed it, but I didn't realize how long it had been since I've posted. I wish I could show you progress on TONS of projects that I was working on but alas, no.
I am in another Paint Chip Challenge. I am really stretching outside of my comfort zone on this one. Here is the picture of the rough draft of it.
It, of course, is just fused on. Now my friends would say I shouldn't point out what I don't like or what was done wrong. I'm not like that. I will point it out so that others will know that it shouldn't stop them. So here we go. First of all, in the waves at the bottom, there are some gaps. That actually is on purpose. The original picture had black in between some of them. I have a bit more than "some". I ran out of fabric in a couple of places in the sand so it is pieces more. Will have to figure out what I'll do there. The top of it shows the stones and then the sands. The original picture had squares of black and beige. I thought about putting the squares in but alternating between the stones and sand but didn't like how that worked so I merged those squares together. I have a lot of embroidery to do on this and hopefully it will looked better when I'm done. Of course I'll have to cross my fingers when I do it. :)
I'll try to post more often.
Until next time, hang in there and pick my slack for not getting more projects done.

You are doing an outstanding job on such a lovely quilt! The gentle curves are so peaceful and remind me of the ocean when it's calm. Wonderful!! Hugs, Deb
Hi, Bonni, Your quilt is amazing! Is it pieces sewn together or applique? There are never mistakes just an original design. Patty from Maine.
Thanks Deb and Patty. It's appliqued Patty. I'm filling in the gaps, which the pattern called for, with dark brown embroidery thread. We'll see how it goes. I'll keep you all updated.
