Well, I finally got the pictures off my phone. There was a good amount on there too...400 or so. Here's a picture of the landscape quilt I made a couple weeks ago. The only problem with it (besides my horrendous job of binding it) is that now I want to make a set...you know with a night and day time scene to match.
I only used three fabrics for this - most of the color change is actually netting I found in a Walmart remnant bin. I have burgundy, pink and yellow netting placed according to the colors in the 'sun' fabric and then used some variegated and bright threads to highlight the water. I wouldn't recommend the little strips that I did for the water reflection though - I ended up with a strange arch shape that I had to block. Must have been pulling on the fabric....whoops.
In other news, I have been quite experimental in my cooking. Not really, but it's experimental for me and probably downright weird for my family. Like...I made a poached egg. Totally weird, since we only do the hard-boiled or scrambled kind. Kind of a kid menu treatment of eggs. I was really proud of it though since it actually worked and didn't spread all over the pan. I made a fried egg too, but it was kind of ugly so no picture. Hehe.
