Sunshine and Summer Pinwheel Done!

This is the first completely traditional quilt I have ever pieced, quilted and finished myself. (I have done tons of raggy quilts) I have been so intimidated by machine quilting that I have a bunch of flimsys . Thanks to all the encouragement I have gotten from my followers and on line friends I did it.

I saw this machine quilting pattern on a mini quilt (sorry I can not remember who posted it) on one of the blogs I was surfing.
It was an easy pattern, I am not real straight and perfect as on the mini quilt I saw but that is what adds charm and shows that it was hand made not factory made.
I love the bright colors and it could be a boy quilt.
DH filled up the large stock tank with water and re potted some of the plants from another pond. We want to put cinder blocks around this one then face them with stones.We will put a floating heater in it for winter. DD brought over some polliwogs yesterday to help start the ecosystem before we put in gold fish later this week.
Skys are gorgouse today and it is heating up. We have had almost record breaking rain so far this month. Amazing thunder stroms ( I love them so full of energy) but it is time to see some pretty blue skies. Makes it easyer to take quilt pictures too.

Pinwheels

Well I have been sleeping most of my first week of summer vacation. Last Monday I got stung by a bee on my eyebrow. It was soar but fine the first day. Tuesday Morning I woke and couldn't open my eye. So all week I have been living on steroids and Benadryl. Benadryl zonks me right out. My eye is better now.
I'm playing with pinwheels, making a baby blanket. I thought this was nice and summery. Here are a couple of Catnip cat toys.
You will find the link to my Esty store on the left side you can check these out. I put them in my store. My cats went crazy for the first one I made.

Thanks for stopping by!
