watch the people right outside my window

(aside from being woken up early by my neighbor's dog) the past few mornings have been lovely.  i made incredibly delicious coffee with the french press & sat by myself on the porch.  maybe i worked on the crossword, maybe i just stared into space...  i also discovered that, despite my talent for killing even  spider plants, one of the mysterious green plants is having babies!
 
i stayed up rather late last night making this 10x17" quilt for Chris, one of the guys that's been working with me this summer.  i went for my blue fabric & found this one piece of batik that was just the right blue with some green in it & well, here:

i quilted it sparingly - just a few swirls spilling over onto the green.  i even signed this one, i always write my name & the date on the stretcher bars, but i embroidered a little e. on the quilt itself.  i'm really happy with it, even though it came together really fast & was given away so suddenly.

i spent some time watching julie work on a new quilt that i had bought her some fabric for & it inspired me to use a few of my sillier fabrics, not just the batiks & asian style prints.  like that spotted one that also cuts ups the middle...  it seemed just right.
