My Aussie Friend

Check this out!    My friend Raylene Smith quilted this block for a sample to be given away in her class at the Australia Quilt Fest this week.   She's teaching a class on quilt designs and cross hatching.  (Hoping next year I can be there)   Raylene is the most beautiful quilter.  She has me frogging my quilts if the quilting isn't right or a mistake.   I never use to do that,  grrrrrr.   She has helped my with my quilting skills tremendously.   I would to see her come over here and teach a few classes at one of our shows.   I would be the first in line...lol

This is what I quilted yesterday .....  today will add color to the fish.  

The floors will get a coat of paint today .... It's been 4 years and time to freshen them up before the holidays.
