Pelicans

I had an excellent, tho far too brief visit with my friend M this weekend. We did a bit of sightseeing. Walked on practically deserted beaches (okay, it was about to rain) and collected some seashells. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera that day. Suckered her into buying a bunch of fabric to sew baby quilts. Oh, the lure of the fabric.

Here are a couple of scenic pics for you. I adore these pelicans:


We watched "The Holiday" which was merely okay. It won't kill you, wasn't horribly boring, just incredibly predictable and not all that interesting. I wanted so much more from this cast, especially Jack Black, who was way too low-key.

Now life is back to the usual. I finally figured out exactly how to quilt Fruit Punch. I tried echoing the shape of the X into the background, but it just didn't work. Instead I'm going to echo quilt the shape of the unit. So it will look like the Xs have Os in the background. If that makes sense.

I think the Os will have Xs in the center, rather like I did them in Hot Crazy Love. Haven't done one yet.

One quick link before I go. If you haven't seen Joyce's free-pieced chicken flock, head over to J's Quilting Blog. They are fabulous.
